Technical FAQs 4

Why do solar panels need battery storage?

Solar panels generate electricity only when the sun is shining, which means that without storage, excess energy generated during the day goes unused or is sent back to the grid. Solar battery storage systems allow users to retain this excess energy and utilize it when needed, improving overall energy efficiency and reliability.

What is solar battery energy storage?

This is where solar battery energy storage systems come into play. These systems store excess solar energy for later use, ensuring a continuous power supply even when the sun isn't shining. The concept of solar battery energy storage is gaining traction among homeowners, businesses, and governments.

Do solar panels need a battery?

During sunny days, your solar panels often generate more electricity than your home consumes. Without a battery, this excess energy typically flows back to the electrical grid. With a solar energy storage system, you can capture and store this surplus energy for use during evenings, cloudy days, or power outages.

Should you invest in a solar battery energy storage system?

Investing in a solar battery energy storage system offers numerous benefits, including: Energy Independence: Reduce reliance on the power grid and have access to energy anytime. Cost Savings: Lower electricity bills by using stored energy during peak hours when grid electricity is more expensive.
