Let’s explore about solar batteries and how it will make your life easy and save your money.
A solar battery, also known as a solar energy storage battery (system), is a device that stores the excess electricity generated by a solar power system for later use. It allows homeowners and businesses to maximize the utilization of solar energy by storing the electricity produced during the day and using it during the night or when the sun is not shining.
Solar batteries work by storing the excess electricity generated by solar panels in a chemical form. The most common type of solar battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, similar to the batteries used in electric vehicles and portable electronics. Other types of batteries used for solar energy storage include lead-acid batteries and saltwater batteries.
When sunlight hits the solar panels, they convert the energy into electricity, which can be used to power appliances and other electrical devices. If the solar panels generate more electricity than is immediately consumed, the excess energy is sent to the battery for storage. The battery then stores the energy for later use, such as during the evening or power outages.
During times when the solar panels do not generate enough electricity to meet the demand, such as at night or on cloudy days, the stored energy from the battery is discharged and used to power the home or business. This helps reduce reliance on the electrical grid and can provide backup power in case of outages.
Most people end up buying batteries looking at the size without considering their utility. For example, if you buy a Sungrow battery of 8kW and your night usage is 14kW, then your battery won’t pull off your night usage and you end up borrowing an additional 6kW from your grid.
Another mistake which we have identified while talking to our customers, they look at the price and buy the battery without considering their actual needs. You should buy the battery by understanding your needs and requirements. Thereafter, you can make a list of pros and cons to finalise the product.
Powerwall is a battery that stores energy, detects outages and automatically becomes your home’s energy source when the grid goes down. Unlike generators, Powerwall keeps your lights on, and phones charged without upkeep, fuel or noise. Pair with solar and recharge with sunlight to keep your appliances running for days. Powerwall reduces your reliance on the grid by storing your solar energy for use when the sun isn’t shining. Use Powerwall alone or combine it with other Tesla products to save money, reduce your carbon footprint and prepare your home for power outages.
The powerful SBR Sungrow battery is one of the smartest batteries for residential energy storage solutions. It is based on 3.2kWH storage modules that can be upscale from 9.9kWH to 25.6kWH. It also provides excellent benefits like backup power in a power outage. Incorporated in 1977, Sungrow is a global leader in solar inverters. Over the past years, they have grown massively in Australia accounting 23% share of the solar inverter market with a local warehouse and support centre.
The Sonnen Evo battery is a fully integrated AC coupled solar battery storage system designed for outdoor and indoor installations. It comes with 10kWh & IP56 outdoor rating and complies with AS/NZS 5139 standard for outdoor or indoor installations. With backup solar power, intelligent battery management system makes it perfect options for households.
