Battery Storage
Pairing battery storage with your solar system is a great way to optimize energy production and reduce your reliance on the grid.
Battery storage increases self-consumption of solar energy:
Battery storage allows excess electricity generated by solar panels to be stored and used later when the panels are not producing enough electricity, such as during the night or on cloudy days.
This can increase the self-consumption of solar energy, reducing the reliance on electricity from the grid and maximizing the utilization of solar-generated electricity.
Energy Independence:
With a battery storage system, a home can become more energy independent.
The stored electricity in the battery can be used during times of high electricity demand or during power outages, reducing the reliance on the electrical grid.
This can provide increased energy security and resilience, particularly in areas with unreliable or expensive grid electricity.
Time-of-use (TOU) savings:
Many utility companies offer time-of-use (TOU) pricing, where electricity rates vary depending on the time of day.
Battery storage systems can be programmed to discharge during times of high electricity rates, allowing homeowners to draw on the stored energy and avoid using electricity from the grid during peak rate periods.
This can help save on electricity costs by reducing the consumption of grid electricity during expensive rate periods.
Environmental benefits:
Battery storage systems can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by allowing homeowners to store and use excess solar-generated electricity instead of relying on electricity from fossil fuel-based power plants.
This can contribute to a greener and more sustainable energy system, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
