How Solar Batteries Work
Adding a solar battery to your existing solar panel system will mean you save even more money on your power bills. So, what is a solar battery and how do they work?
How does a solar battery work?
A typical rooftop solar power system collects energy from the sun via your solar panels, then an inverter turns the captured energy into usable electricity. Any electricity not used will be lost.
If you generate more electricity than you need, you simply lose the extra electricity. Some systems allow you to ‘sell’ back excess electricty into to the grid at a lower rate than youd buy it for. At worst, its wasted. When your panels arent generating any power (like at night or on cloudy days), you will revert back to buying it from the grid anyway.
A solar battery stores the excess electricity from your solar power system. That means its not wasted. And at night or on cloudy days you dont need to be reliant on the grid.
So basically Solar batteries are a big tick for your hip pocket, the environment and your peace of mind.
How a solar battery storage system can help you…
A solar battery storage system is smart. It only sends electricity back to the grid when it cant store any more (as in, its fully charged). And itll only draw power from the grid (which you have to pay for) once its stored power is totally depleted.
This means your solar battery will fully charge during the day and then give you its stored electricity once your panels have stopped generating power in the evening. Overall, youll draw (and pay for) less power from the grid, saving you money in the long run.
Benefits include:
It is possible to reduce the amount of grid power you pay for by up to 92%.
Having a solar battery storage system actively reduces your carbon footprint and lessens your impact on the planet.
Having solar battery storage makes you less dependent on the grid and more self-sufficient by protecting you against blackouts or brownouts.

A solar system with battery storage adds real asset value to your property. That makes it an even better long-term investment.
