Batteries

What is a solar battery and how does it work?

The solar batteries will store the excess electricity generated by your solar panels. Solar batteries can be added to a home or business PV system.

A solar battery is a device that reserves energy produced by solar panels. You can use this reserved energy after sundown, during high energy peaks, and during power outages. In most cases, a battery may not be needed for your project. This is because most PV systems are tied back to the grid. The grid is almost like a battery itself in the sense that you can send excess power back to the grid when your solar panels are overproducing and use the grid's power when your home is using more energy than the panels are generating. Depending on your utility company and their net metering/net billing program will determine if a solar battery is right for your home.
