Solar Battery Storage
What is a domestic battery storage system?
A domestic battery storage system is a device that stores excess energy generated by home solar panels for later use. This system allows homeowners to maximise the use of their renewable energy, reducing reliance on the national grid. By storing surplus energy during the day, it can be used at night or during power outages, ensuring a continuous power supply. Battery storage systems help lower energy bills by using stored energy during peak rate periods and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle by minimising the need for fossil fuel-based electricity. They enhance energy independence and resilience for households.
How do domestic battery storage systems work?
Domestic battery storage systems work by storing excess energy generated by home solar panels during the day. This stored energy can then be used when the solar panels are not producing electricity, such as at night or during cloudy periods. The system includes a battery that charges when there is surplus solar energy and discharges when the energy demand exceeds the solar production. This ensures a continuous power supply, reduces reliance on the national grid, and helps lower energy bills by using stored energy during peak rate periods. It enhances energy efficiency and resilience for households.
