An opportunity to maximise your solar savings: the power of battery storage

October 13, 2023

In a society increasingly driven by sustainable energy solutions, solar power has firmly established itself as the go-to choice for homeowners seeking to trim their carbon footprint and cut down on soaring energby bills. But in the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, there's a game-changing solution that can supercharge your solar investment: the intergration of cutting-edge battery storage technology into your photovoltaic (PV) system.

Amongst the most compelling reasons to pair battery storage with your PV system is the capability to stockpile surplus solar energy for use during the night and on overcast days. This uninterrupted access to clean, renewable energy ensures your home remains adequately powered, irrespective of the time of day or weather conditions. However, the real magic lies in how this 24/7 energy availability significantly curtails your dependence on the conventional power grid.

When researching into solar PV for the first time, you may have noticed that a stand-alone solar PV system will still rely on the grid for power during the night or when the sun's radiance is insufficent to meet your current energy demands. In such instances, your property draws electricity from the grid and driving up your utility bills. However, the additional of a cutting-edge battery storage system shifts the equation dramatically.

Incorporating battery storage into your solar PV system is much more than a cost-effective measure; it's a forward-thinking investment in energy efficiency, self-sufficiency, and a sustainable future. With surplus solar energy efficiently stored in the batteries, you'll have a readily available power source to draw from when your solar panels can't generate electricity. This enhanced energy independence offers a two-fold benefit: it ensures a continous power supply and slashes your reliance on conventional grid electricity, therey reducing your energy bills.

Additionally, embracing battery storage as part of your solar setup aligns with the broader mission of building a more sustainable, environmentally friendly world. Reduced reliance on the grid can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and place less strain on our planet's finite natural resources. As we transition to cleaner energy sources, technologies like battery storage play a critical role in promoting sustainability and reducing our collective carbon footprint.

Incorporating battery storage into your solar PV system is a strategic and holistic approach to making the most of your solar investment. It empowers you to harness solar power around the clock, reducing your reliance on the grid and, consequently, your energy bills. This technology is not just a cost-effective measure; it's a forward-thinking investment in energy efficiency, energy independence, and a cleaner, more sustainable future for all. Over 80% of the solar PV projects completed by Solar-Techs have included a battery storage system. A majority of these installations have included the wall mounted Sunsynk 5.12kWh Battery.  But we have also installed 10kWh SolarEdge and 9.4kWh Hanchu batteries.
