Solar Battery
Solar batteries are devices used to store excess energy generated by your rooftop solar panels so that you can use that energy when the sun isn’t shining. Solar batteries are also useful in blackout and power outage situations.
Home battery storage saves you from purchasing power from your electricity company to power your home, as you can use your own that you’ve harnessed from your solar panels and stored in the solar battery storage system.
You need to have a fully functioning solar system, with panels connected to a inverter, in order to add a solar battery to your system. A solar charge controller will also be installed to regulate the load of excess solar energy coming from the solar panels to the solar battery.
Since solar battery storage systems are such complicated systems, there is a serious health and safety risk if they are incorrectly installed. Therefore, it is recommended that you contact a qualified and experienced professional like Perth Solar Force for residential and commercial solar battery installations.
Did you know that we are a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer? This means that our team of qualified installers are trained to install Tesla Powerwalls to strict safety and quality requirements.
Here at Perth Solar Force, we also stock several other great quality solar battery brands including BYD batteries, SolarEdge and GoodWe batteries.
We can recommend different solar energy storage solutions, such as hybrid solar systems, based on your particular circumstances. These systems allow for the connection of the solar inverter with the battery system, allowing for your system to have emergency backup power when the grid goes down.
Contact our friendly and knowledgeable team if you have any questions about solar batteries or to find out if a solar battery might be suitable for you.
