How Do Solar Batteries Work on the Sunshine Coast?
With the cost of solar batteries steadily declining over the years, more households and businesses than ever are considering adding a battery to their solar panel system. At Logic Solar, we specialise in installing solar batteries Sunshine Coast customers can count on for quality, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Below we look at how solar panels with battery storage systems work and their benefits.
How Do Solar Batteries Work?
Solar batteries function as a storage unit for excess power generated by solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. Without a battery storage system, energy produced by solar panels during the day is first used within the home or commercial premises. Any remaining power is then sent into the grid and exchanged for a credit.
With a solar battery, energy is captured by solar panels then travels as direct current (DC) through the solar inverter. Here, it is converted into alternating current (AC) energy that everyday appliances can use. The switchboard directs the energy to power appliances in your home as needed, then directs any excess to the battery inverter. One there it’s converted to storable energy and kept in the solar battery until it’s needed.
Benefits of Solar Panels With Battery Storage
Solar panels are a great way of generating self-sufficient power that reduces both your energy bills and carbon footprint. However, they can only generate energy for your home when the sun is shining. By storing unused energy from your solar panels with a battery, you can use solar energy at night time, on cloudy days and during blackouts. By having a complete system for solar Sunshine Coast homeowners use even less energy from the grid, maximising the benefits of having solar panels in the first place.
You can set up solar panels with battery storage from the start or incorporate batteries later. Depending on your system, this may require an additional solar inverter. Systems with a hybrid solar inverter are able to incorporate a battery storage solution straight into your current system.
