Why Invest in Home Solar Batteries
Batteries are a worthwhile investment if you’re a big energy user. Excess power that is not required during the day would normally be exported to the grid but if you install a battery with your Solar System you can retain that surplus electricity and use it after dark.
The Best Thing About Batteries
As we know Solar Systems go to sleep as soon as the sun goes down, this is when the battery plays the part of the sun, discharging that stored energy to meet your electricity needs.
When installing a battery you will have what’s referred to as a backup option. What is a battery backup? Let’s say there is a power outage or an electricity blackout; what normally happens? Everything turns off, your house is without power, it’s dark and cold and there are other issues if the outage is prolonged. When a backup is included you will have nominated a number of circuits that will ensure you have limited power. This is usually a power socket or two, a few lights, and perhaps the garage door and fridge freezer, it will sustain you until the normal power supply resumes.
