Guide to Solar Batteries: Are they worth it?

Unlocking the Bright Side of Solar Batteries: 7 Compelling Advantages You Need to Know

The combination of solar panels and solar batteries has emerged as a crucial technological development in the race toward a more ecological and energy-efficient future. In addition to revolutionizing how we use energy, this pairing of solar energy generation and battery storage offers several substantial advantages for customers and the environment.

At BT Commercial, we can assist you in determining the best system for your needs. The integration of batteries into a solar panel system has the advantage of programming the timing of the battery charge and energy usage through a software application available to users. We provide an easy-to-install and modular design battery: The “Huawei Luna” Battery. It is straightforward to install and offers flexible configuration options, intelligent power management features, reliable performance, and comprehensive support to enhance your solar energy projects.

“The Huawei Luna Battery” is divided into compartments of 5 KW modules, allowing for easy expansion of storage according to client needs. The space required for battery installation is minimal due to modular installation (stacked on top of each other). Another advantage of the Luna battery is its compatibility with the Huawei Backup Box, which can control the inverter’s grid-tied or off-grid state. In the event of a grid failure, the inverter automatically switches to the off-grid state, supplying power to off-grid loads in backup mode. When the grid recovers, the inverter seamlessly returns to the grid-tied state without the need for additional settings. This ensures that in the event of a power failure, the system will identify the interruption and switch to battery backup mode automatically.

Here, you can find more compelling advantages of solar batteries in conjunction with solar panels:

1. Energy Storage

Batteries, when combined with solar panels, store excess energy from the sun rather than exporting it to the electricity grid. These batteries are used during periods without sunlight, such as at night. This reduces dependency on the power grid and allows users of solar-powered systems to maximize their investment even after sunset.

2. Increased Self-Consumption

Batteries enable increased self-consumption of the solar energy produced. Excess electricity can be utilized within your home or place of business rather than being exported to the grid. This can result in substantial savings on your electricity bills, as rates for electricity consumption and exportation often differ.

3. Reliable Backup Power

In the event of a power outage, solar panels and batteries work together to offer dependable backup power. Battery solutions can keep your lights on and your devices operating during a blackout, providing you with comfort and peace of mind. The extent of this backup power depends on the size and capacity of the installed batteries.

4. Peak Demand Management

Battery-stored solar energy can be used when the electricity grid’s demand is at its highest. By reducing the need to generate power from polluting sources during peak demand, relieves pressure on the electrical infrastructure and can aid in grid stability.

5. Cost Savings

Installing solar panels and batteries requires a one-time investment, and the savings realized over time can be substantial. You can lower your electricity costs through solar generation and storage, ultimately increasing the return on your investment.

6. Reduced Carbon Footprint

Utilizing solar power instead of fossil fuel-based electricity lowers greenhouse gas emissions and reduces your carbon footprint. This supports a cleaner environment and contributes to the fight against climate change.

7. Increased Property Value

The installation of a solar energy storage system can increase the value of your home. Potential buyers may view it as an investment in sustainability and energy efficiency, which can enhance the market value of your property. In some cases, banks are offering green loans to support these initiatives at 0% interest.
