Benefits of Solar Battery Storage
Adding battery storage to your solar PV system allows you to make greater use of the renewable electricity generated at your property. Instead of relying on your solar panels only when they are actively generating, surplus electricity can be stored and used later when you need it.
This can be particularly useful during the evening, when household electricity demand may increase but solar generation has reduced or stopped. Using stored energy can help reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid and increase the proportion of your own solar energy that you use at home.
A correctly sized battery system can therefore complement your solar panels and give you greater control over how and when the electricity generated at your property is used.
Choosing the Right Solar Battery
The right battery storage system will depend on your property, electricity consumption, solar PV system and what you want to achieve from energy storage. Battery capacity is an important consideration, but simply choosing the largest battery available isn’t necessarily the best approach.
GLSR Solutions can assess how much electricity your solar panels generate and how your household typically uses energy before recommending an appropriate battery storage solution. We’ll also consider your existing solar equipment, available installation space and whether you may want to expand the system in the future.
With options from manufacturers including Tesla, Sigenergy and Fox ESS, we can help you choose a battery system suited to your current and future energy requirements.
