Solar Battery Storage refers to the technology that enables the capture and storage of excess electricity generated by solar panels. As solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, there are times when they produce more energy than is immediately needed. Instead of letting this surplus go to waste, solar battery storage systems store the extra energy for later use.
Here’s how it typically works:
- Energy Generation: Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight during periods of sunlight.
- Excess Energy Storage: Rather than feeding all generated energy into the grid, a solar battery storage system stores the surplus energy in batteries.
- Energy Use When Needed: During periods when solar panels aren’t producing electricity, such as at night or on cloudy days, the stored energy is utilised to power the home or business.
This technology enhances the efficiency of solar power systems, providing a consistent energy supply even when the sun isn’t shining. Solar battery storage is particularly valuable for homeowners and businesses looking to maximise their energy independence, reduce reliance on the grid, and potentially save on electricity costs by using stored energy during peak demand periods or when electricity rates are higher.
