Solar panel battery storage systems allow homeowners to store excess energy generated by their solar panels for later use. This stored energy can be used during periods when the solar panels are not producing electricity, such as at night or during cloudy days.

Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. Any excess electricity that is not used immediately can be stored in a battery. When the solar panels are not generating electricity, the stored energy in the battery can be used to power the home.

Benefits include increased energy independence, reduced electricity bills, backup power during outages, and the ability to maximize the use of renewable energy generated by your solar panels.

The most common types of batteries used for solar storage are lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and flow batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular due to their high efficiency, longer lifespan, and lower maintenance requirements.

Yes, it is possible to add a battery to an existing solar panel system. However, it is important to ensure compatibility between the battery and the existing system. Consulting with a professional installer is recommended.
