For many homeowners interested in installing solar power or who’ve already embraced it, adding a battery may be the next step. Whether it’s to further lower energy bills and reduce reliance on the grid, or keep powering your home during unexpected power outages, batteries are becoming the “must have accessory” in solar.
The length of time a home can operate on battery backup is influenced by several factors. These include the number of batteries, the capacity of each, the power consumption of the home, and how efficiently the homeowner uses their stored energy. It's important to bear in mind that while batteries combined with backup interfaces are intended to provide electricity and keep appliances running during a grid outage, there may be limitations when it comes to powering high-energy electrical devices or large appliances for extended periods of time.
As sunlight is intermittent, battery storage solutions combined with smart energy optimisation systems hold the key to unlocking the full potential of solar by bridging the gap between the supply and demand.
