THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR BATTERY STORAGE

Installing a solar battery device to your solar power system is an intelligent way of storing any excess electricity generated by your solar panels for future use, helping to power your home at times when solar energy doesn’t provide enough electricity to power your home. In this helpful guide, we provide a list of key benefits to solar battery storage, from reducing your carbon footprint to storing excess electricity.

STORE EXCESS ELECTRICITY

A key advantage of your solar panel system is that you will regularly produce far more power than you will actually need, particularly on hot, sunny days when no one is home. Should you choose solar battery storage, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that any additional energy you generate will be stored for later use instead of being sent back to the national grid. This means you can use your stored energy whenever you need, such as times of lower energy generation or during blackouts.

PREVENT POWER OUTAGES

As suggested, storing excess energy in your solar batteries will ensure your home has the necessary electricity available during power outages and at times when the national grid may go down. This means you will always have backup electricity during power outages, providing energy even when the lights go out.

REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT

When it comes to solar battery storage, one of the most important benefits is the ability to generate clean, green energy by making the most of the electricity you produce through your solar panel system and by extension, being able to store this energy for later use. Should you not be able to store your excess energy, you may have to rely on grid electricity, which is produced during fossil fuels. Solar battery storage helps to reduce your carbon footprint and produce clean energy. 

24/7 POWER

Once the sun goes down and your solar panels are no longer able to generate electricity, it’s important that you have enough excess energy stored to keep your home powered throughout the night to avoid the grid stepping in to provide back-up power. With a solar battery storage system, you’ll be able to use more of your solar energy during the night with help from the excess energy you’ve already generated.
