Solar Panels and Battery Storage

Solar panels alone can generate electricity during daylight hours, but what about when the sun goes down? This is where battery storage systems come into play. By integrating solar panels with batteries, you can store excess energy for later use, maximizing your self-consumption and energy independence.

1. Energy Storage: Excess electricity generated by the solar panels is stored in batteries rather than being sent back to the grid. This stored energy can be utilized during periods of low solar generation or at night.

2. Power Management: A charge controller or energy management system ensures efficient charging and discharging of the batteries, optimizing energy usage and extending battery life.

3. Energy Autonomy: With a solar panel and battery system, you can reduce reliance on the grid, increase self-consumption of solar energy, and have backup power during grid outages.
