Summer is almost here, and we are excited for families to get together for the holiday season. As more people use this time to take a break from work or school, it is normal to see an increase in the usage of household appliances – i.e Airconditioning, TV, speakers, pool pump, kitchen appliances, gaming consoles etc.
An increase in electrical appliance usage means an increase in electricity bills.
A great way to reduce your electricity bills, is to use clean and green solar energy to power your home appliances.
Rooftop solar panels harness sunlight and generate solar energy to be consumed by your household. This means you reduce needing to import electricity from the grid.
Solar Battery Installation Benefits
1) Use solar energy at night In a household with only solar panels, solar energy is generated when the sun is out and used to power any appliances at home. At night, the system imports electricity from the grid to support energy usage, because the panels are not able to produce energy without sunlight. This is where solar batteries can help.
Solar batteries store excess solar energy produced by your panels and allow you to use it at night. With the addition of a solar battery to your system, both your morning and night-time energy usage is supported by solar energy. Your dependence on the grid is significantly reduced.
2) Maximise savings in energy bills Even if you have solar panels at home, if your household uses a lot of energy at night, you might still be getting expensive energy bills. One of the best ways to maximise your savings in electricity bills, is by adding a solar battery to your existing system. When your solar panels stop producing energy in the evenings (or during rainy weather), energy stored in your battery will be used to power your home. This reduces your need to import electricity from the grid, thus preventing high bills.
3) Emergency power supply during blackouts
When your battery is fitted with blackout protection, you can power vital appliances and circuits during power outages. Some batteries are fitted with blackout mode. This feature kicks in when the grid fails (if your battery has enough stored energy). Having access to an emergency power supply is very important, especially during storm season when floods or thunderstorms can cause damage to powerlines.
