THE IDEA OF SOLAR BATTERY STORAGE IS SIMPLE
A solar battery serves as a valuable tool in your energy arsenal, allowing you to store surplus energy generated by your solar panels for future use. By harnessing and storing excess energy during periods of high generation, you can ensure a steady supply of power during times when sunlight is scarce or demand is high. This capability not only enhances your energy independence but also maximizes your savings by enabling you to utilize all the electricity produced by your solar system. With a solar battery, you have the flexibility to optimize your energy consumption and minimize reliance on the grid, providing both financial benefits and peace of mind.

Capacity, measured in kWh, indicates how much energy a battery can store. It's vital to note that draining a battery completely can harm it. Some batteries are advertised based on their "total" capacity, but what matters most is the "usable capacity"—the amount of energy you can actually access. Understanding usable capacity helps you make informed decisions about the battery's suitability for your needs.
A cycle refers to one complete discharge and recharge of a battery, but in practice, it rarely occurs in full. For instance, a battery may only discharge 25% before recharging, constituting 1/4 of a cycle. It's crucial to understand how many cycles a battery is warranted for to gauge its longevity and performance accurately.
Lead Acid and Lithium are the two main types of solar storage batteries available. While Lead Acid batteries are inexpensive to install, they tend to be inefficient and have a shorter lifespan. As a result, Lead Acid batteries have largely faded from the solar storage market. In contrast, Lithium batteries, despite being more expensive upfront, offer better value due to their superior performance and durability.
Certain battery storage systems may only provide 800 watts (W) of power, which may not suffice for high-demand appliances like a kettle that typically requires 2000 watts. Similarly, if you're generating 4 kilowatts (kW) of power but the battery can only accommodate 3 kW, 1 kW will be exported to the grid, resulting in wasted energy. It's essential to ensure your battery storage system matches your energy needs to avoid inefficiencies and maximize self-consumption.
Comparing different storage systems based on price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of storage capacity is a fair and accurate method. However, determining the right number of kWhs for your property depends on your specific needs. The more kWhs you have, the greater your potential for bill reduction and leveraging "Time of Use" tariffs.
While most storage systems focus solely on storing energy, some offer backup capability to provide power during a blackout. If backup functionality is crucial for your needs, inform us, and we'll design bespoke solutions tailored to your preferences.
