Solar panels are able to power your home with clean, renewable energy. However, they do have the limitation of only generating electricity when the sun is shining. Most people tend to use more energy at night if they are out and about during the day. Solar panels usually generate enough electricity during the day to meet energy usage at night. However, without solar storage, the solar energy generated when the sun is out has to be used right away. Having solar energy storage can allow you to use the energy generated during the day at night, so your home can get the most out of your solar panels. Keep reading to learn more about storing solar energy.
How a Solar Battery System Works
A solar battery backup system stores excess solar energy generated by your solar panels for later use when the sun isn’t shining. When your panels can no longer produce enough power for your home, the system activates these batteries to supplement your energy supply. This ensures continuous power, even during cloudy days or grid outages.
The Benefits of Solar Energy Storage
Storing solar energy can help you get the most out of your solar system since you will be storing surplus electricity that the system generates but the home doesn’t use right away. This can help decrease your energy bill and decrease your carbon footprint. Here are some of the benefits:
Cost Savings
Without solar storage, the electricity generated by your solar panels has to be used right when it’s generated. Storage allows an energy bank to be charged when electricity generation is high but usage is low. This allows electricity from your solar panels to be used at night when generation is low but usage is higher.
Uninterrupted Power
The energy grid can experience outages or shortages from issues like extreme weather. If there is a power outage, the solar system will automatically shut down and stop generating electricity. Solar storage decreases your dependence on the energy grid. During grid outages, solar storage allows you to seamlessly switch to stored power, so that you can continue to use electronics and appliances.
Contribute to a Cleaner and More Sustainable Future
If your home is connected to the grid and you don’t have solar storage, any excess electricity generated by solar panels will be sent to the grid. Solar storage allows you to use clean electricity stored in your battery instead of using fossil-fuel based power. By tapping into stored solar energy, you reduce reliance on grid power, contributing to a more sustainable future.
