Solar batteries are used to store energy that solar panels produce. The stored solar energy can then be used later on, when it is needed.
In addition, solar panels make more electricity during the middle of the day than they do at any other time of day. The middle of the day also happens to be when your home uses the least amount of energy. As a result, your solar panels will produce a lot of electricity that your home won’t need at that time.
Home solar batteries are able to store that extra energy from the middle of the day so you can use it at a different time.
First, solar batteries allow you to be less dependent on the grid. Having great energy independence also means that you have the ability to power your home entirely with clean solar energy.
Utilities derive the majority of their electricity from dirty fossil fuels. Installing a solar battery ensures that you will power your home entirely with renewable energy produced right on your roof!
The utility grid can be unreliable. Solar batteries can be used as a backup power source when the grid goes down. It is especially useful to have a backup battery bank in places like California, where grid outages are common during wildfire season.
Yes, absolutely. There are different configurations available and every crisis is different. However, energy backup during emergencies is one of the biggest benefits of having a solar battery. Check out one of our recent solar battery projects. This solar battery installation helped a family save money on their electric bill and provided backup power via a solar battery. Even with a strict HOA, we are able to meet all requirements with no problems.
Yes. A big part of the reason that solar batteries are increasing in popularity is that they allow many homeowners greater control over their home energy usage. As a result, they have the chance to save money and rely less on grid-supplied energy, which tends to come from less environmentally friendly sources.
How “Time of Use” rates influence energy costs:
Most homeowners use more energy in the morning before leaving for work, and then again in the evening after returning home. These peaks in demand put a strain on public utilities because they try to supply the right amount of electricity at all times. In order to deal with this, some utilities have introduced Time of Use (TOU) pricing in order to curb demand. If your utility is one of the many that has introduced a TOU rate structure, then you’ll most likely be paying more for energy during times when you need it most.
Solar power production typically peaks during max sunlight hours in the middle of the day, when most people are not home. Some utilities offer credits for excess solar energy production, but some public grid systems can’t handle the influx of solar energy that happens midday. In other words, solar production and homeowner demand don’t always match timewise.
A solar home battery allows you to store cheaper solar energy produced during the day so that it can be used at times when you need it most—when the sun goes down and the rates go up.
Yes, we do. DK Solar technology partners with some of the most trusted names in solar battery technology to provide homeowners with reliable backup energy options.
The convenience of solar batteries, in addition to the fact that they allow homeowners to use clean power for backup, makes them a really popular choice. However, there are other options. You can contact us to learn more about these other options. Here’s a quick list for easy reference:
