Deep Dive Into Batteries
Here's how they work:
1
Charging the Battery:
During the day, solar panels produce electricity when sunlight hits their photovoltaic cells. Any excess energy that's not immediately used in your home is directed to the solar battery for storage. This allows you to save the surplus energy rather than sending it back to the grid.
2
Storing Energy:
The energy is stored as direct current (DC) electricity in the battery. Most modern solar batteries are made with lithium-ion technology, which is efficient, durable, and capable of holding a large amount of energy in a relatively compact size.
3
Converting Energy for Use:
When the sun isn't shining—whether it's at night or on overcast days—the stored energy in the battery becomes your primary power source. An inverter converts the DC electricity stored in the battery into alternating current (AC), which is what your household appliances use.
4
Power Supply Management:
Solar batteries utilise smart technology that allows them to optimize power usage & prioritise your home’s energy needs, reducing reliance on the grid and ensuring that energy is used efficiently.
5
Backup Power:
At NRSE, we install battery systems that also act as backup power sources during outages, keeping essential devices and appliances or your whole home running when the grid is down.
Powering Up With Solar Batteries
By integrating solar batteries into your system, you can maximize the benefits of solar energy, achieve greater energy independence, and even save more money on your energy bills!
