Solar Battery Storage

Save money with solar batteries:
Storing your excess energy to use later on

Solar batteries are a useful, cost-effective technology that’s key to allowing you to live more self-sufficiently (energy-wise) and sustainably inside your home or business.

Solar battery storage means homeowners can harness their solar technology to store their excess energy – generated by their reliable solar panels – to be used later when the need arises.

Why Use Solar Batteries?

Energy Independence

You are less reliant on power from the grid

Cost Savings

Storing excess energy means spending less money

Backup Power

Use your excess energy when there is a blackout

Increase Home Value

A sustainable energy source is attractive to potential buyers

The Three Kinds of Solar Batteries

To properly store solar batteries, it’s important first to know which kind of battery you bought or intend to buy. Your choice may depend on solar battery price, what others have recommended or factors like solar maintenance, but an awareness of all options is handy.

Generally, there are three main kinds of batteries for solar system panels:

Lithium-ion batteries

These are the most common and popular battery types. They tick all boxes in terms of minimal size, significant lifespan and being of lightweight material. Their compact size, moreover, enables a high degree of energy density – which means they’re small but can store a lot. And generate the necessary power consistently.

Flow batteries

These batteries use a different kind of technology from lithium-ion batteries and specifically, they’re better suited for larger properties with correspondingly larger systems. As a result, they’re designed to produce more energy over longer periods of time.

Lead-acid batteries

These ones have been around for quite some time and while pretty affordable and dependable to most people, the downside is they’re particularly heavier, bulkier and not as long-lasting compared to the other two.
