A solar battery is an essential addition to your solar power system, enabling you to store surplus electricity generated by your solar panels. This stored energy can be utilized to power your home during periods when solar panels may not produce enough electricity, such as at night, on cloudy days, and during power outages.

How does a Solar Battery work?

• Solar panels take in sunlight
• Solar energy travels as direct current (DC) through the solar inverter so it can be converted into alternative current (AC) energy that everyday appliances use.
• The switchboard then directs the solar energy to where it’s needed. First it will power appliances in your home, then direct any excess to the battery inverter.
• The batter inverter converts the energy into a form of storable energy.
• The battery stores the energy to use when the sun goes down, rather than accessing electricity from the grid.
• At night solar panels stop generating energy and the household switches to stored battery power.
