How To Get More Electricity Out Of Your Solar Energy System With Solar Battery Storage

Think Electrical Solar Panel Installation & Battery Storage

You are one step away from lower energy bills and improved sustainability!

With technological developments and the raising awareness about the benefits of sustainable living, the use of solar power to generate electricity is trending everyday. Solar energy is not only cost-efficient as compared to the electricity that you buy from energy companies, it is also a great step towards reducing your carbon footprint.

If you have solar panels installed on your home or you are planning to have them installed, you must be aware of the limitations that come along. Even though sunlight is a cheap and environmentally friendly alternative for generating electricity for your day to day needs, it is not available throughout the night. That’s when you need a smart solution to make the most out of your solar energy system. With solar battery storage system installation, you can store energy absorbed to provide you with power on less sunny days.

Are you getting the most out of your solar panel system?

No matter where in the world you live, the sun is never the same throughout the year. Some days are cloudy, while some are rainy when there’s very little sunlight. When that happens, your solar panels are unable to harness high levels of energy.
Similarly, daytime is when solar panels see the highest energy uptake, however power consumption is often lowest during the day. In the daytime, when you are out for work, while kids are off to school, there’s almost no one at home to use the electricity your solar panels are producing. As a result, you are not able to make the most out of your solar panels.

How does a solar battery work?

Change the plan of being self-sufficient with your power usage? Definitely not! A solar battery is there to save the day.
All you need is to have a solar battery storage system installed with your solar panels and your solar battery will store that excess solar energy for you to consume later on. This way you can power your home with renewable energy any time of the day, even if your solar panels aren’t producing much electricity during that time. The added benefit is that your solar battery makes you less reliant on power supply networks since you get a backup power supply in case of a power failure.

Add Value to Your Existing Solar Energy System

If you have a solar panel system installed in your home, pairing it with a solar battery will increase its significance in your daily life. Your home will be more self-sufficient in terms of energy production from the solar panels and using them throughout the day. Let’s now dig in to find out some of the many perks of battery storage systems:

Reduced Carbon Footprint
When you are less dependent on electricity supply networks, this means you are contributing to saving the environment by avoiding the excessive use of coal-generated energy.

Backup Power In Case of Power Outage
A solar battery keeps you relaxed when there’s a power failure in your area. Since you have ample electricity in backup, there will be no need to panic if the mains power goes off!

Lower Energy Bills
The recent pandemic has affected us in ways we had never imagined. During the past many months, you have spent most of your time home-bound, mostly in front of the gadgets. Virtual classes, work from home and spending the rest of the time watching Netflix has drastically increased your energy consumption as well as draining your finances due to excessive energy bills. A solar battery storage system installation makes your days at home free of worry by noticeably reducing your energy bills.

Charge Electric Vehicles
The most interesting advantage you get from a solar battery is that you can not only utilize the stored power to light your home but you can even charge your electric vehicle chargers through it. Since electric cars are gaining popularity day by day, all you need is a single solution for all your energy requirements-a solar battery storage system installation for both your home and your vehicles!

While you might think the prices of solar batteries are too high for your affordability, the long term benefits will surely outdo this one-time expenditure. Just make sure you choose a reliable installer to carry out your solar battery installation so you get the premium quality service against the best possible price.
