What is a Solar Battery?
A solar battery is just like any form of battery. Its purpose is to store excess energy generated from your solar PV system, allowing it to be used at a time where your solar panels are not generating. This is typically on cloudy days or after the sun goes down.
Adding a Solar Battery to a Solar PV System
Although it is possible to add a solar battery to an existing solar system, some simple adjustments may need to be made. Older solar systems were not inclined to pair with a solar battery; therefore may need some upgrades. It is important to speak with a professional about your solar panel addition so they can examine your solar system and see what changes need to be made. Our qualified electricians at ElectricsFixed are highly trained to make those simple changes to allow your system to store energy. This may include replacing an existing inverter to something more compatible.
A solar panel inverter is a piece of equipment which converts the DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) to make it compatible with your appliances. It is important to speak with a qualified electrician to ensure the changes are made safely.
Benefits of Solar Battery Storage
After the installation of your solar battery you can begin to take advantage of its benefits. These include:
