BENEFITING FROM A BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM

Solar energy is an ever-growing market for people who want to take steps to combat their impact on the plane, providing a clean and effective way to cut down on the cost of energy usage and emit fewer pollutants into the atmosphere. But there are always ways to help out even more. Homeowners with solar power often find themselves producing an excess of energy throughout the day. This excess is either wasted or sold back to the grid. But by installing a battery storage system, this allows any energy generated to be stored for later use.

Read on to find out the benefits of a battery storage system and how it can help your impact on the environment.



HOW DOES A BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM WORK

Solar panels can only produce energy when sunlight is present, making them not useful as soon as the sun sets. But with a battery storage system, you can continue to use the benefits of your solar panels even at night. They work by taking the energy that the solar panels generate during the day, and store it in the battery for later. This means when it gets dark and the panels are no longer producing electricity, your system can draw on the energy you have been storing in the battery. This can be used for your lights, appliances and even charge an electric car.

Solar panels work all year round, even when the weather isn’t the best. But as the days get shorter, they’ll be producing for less time each day. A battery storage system can help you get through the short winter days by offering continuous power even at night.

THE BENEFITS OF A BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM

If you’re working towards being energy independent, a battery storage system is key to accomplishing this. Many users of solar panels find they still have to rely on the National Grid for power in the evenings, but by using the energy you’ve stored during the day your home will be running independently. By becoming energy independent, you’re reducing your carbon footprint by around 1.6 tonnes.

With a battery storage system, you will no longer be wasting any of the energy you produce. By storing excess energy in the battery instead of sending it back to the grid, you’re using 100% of the energy you generate daily. This makes your energy completely renewable and means your panels are working to maximum efficiency. By charging the battery during the day and discharging the power in the evening, you’ll avoid paying the high tariffs when the supply for electricity is high. This could lead to a saving of up to 30% on your electric bills.
