If you don’t have a battery, and your panels don’t produce enough energy for your needs, your system draws on the grid, and you pay for this electricity. Batteries give you much more control over your energy because they reduce your vulnerability to energy price hikes.

Instead of wasting your excess power, it is now stored in the solar battery system. Batteries are particularly helpful when panel output is reduced on cloudy days in the evenings, and at nighttime. When you produce more power than you need, you store the surplus in the battery and sell it back to the grid and earn a little extra cash. 

Although it may be difficult to believe during the current energy crisis when rates are so high, energy prices fall – sometimes below zero, and energy suppliers are paid to take energy off the grid. Store your renewable energy in your AC system when rates are low and discharge to the grid when rates are high.

Solar batteries bring your property closer to energy independence and self-sufficiency. Solar energy creates far less pollution than fossil fuels and reduces your home’s carbon footprint for years.

One advantage of solar battery storage is the potential to generate income by selling your excess solar energy back to the grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home requires, that excess energy doesn’t have to go to waste. Instead, you can store it in your solar batteries and sell it back to the grid when demand is high, turning your investment in solar energy into a profitable endeavour.

One of the most significant benefits of battery storage is that they slash your electricity costs as you avoid the fees associated with utility companies. Some people turn to solar batteries to disconnect from the grid entirely.

At this point, it’s also worth mentioning that batteries require very little maintenance once installed.

Unlike other generators, solar panels and battery storage systems don’t create any noise pollution that may annoy neighbours or employees in a work environment.
