Solar Batteries and Storage
What Are Home Solar Batteries?
Solar is efficient when the panels are working to capture solar energy. But if you don’t consume that energy to run your appliances and lights, it obviously goes to waste. Worse, you can’t use it at night. This is where solar batteries become incredibly helpful.
Whether you are new to solar or have had solar panels for years, having a solar battery can significantly and positively impact your entire setup. With home solar batteries, you can store energy and use it when needed – even when it’s rainy, gloomy, or at night. They are an alternative to feeding energy back to the grid. Or, you can use them as an addition to your solar system to make your residence or commercial space somewhat immune to power outages.
Solar Batteries In Your Home
We have a number of battery products for you to consider. Selecting a home solar battery will depend on your stored energy requirements, among others. For example, if you wish to power more of your home at the same time, we recommend that you get a solar battery that comes with a high power rating.
On the other hand, a battery with a high instantaneous power rating is the most ideal if you want to power energy-intensive appliances such as a sump pump, washing machine, and dishwasher.

Benefits of Batteries
According to Synergy, a medium four-bed, two-bath household has an average bill of $332. The rate usually goes up when temperatures dip. Solar panels can help reduce your energy bills, but the problem is that they don’t store excess energy that you can use for later. That’s why a solar battery is an excellent addition to your solar system. Here are six reasons why:
You can make the most of your solar power setup. Instead of relying on the grid when you don’t produce sufficient energy, you can pull power from the home solar batteries, especially on cloudy days.
Enjoy greater electricity security with solar batteries. Your home becomes more energy-resilient, lowering your grid dependency. This is particularly beneficial if you live in an area with an unstable grid.
Emergencies, whether natural or manmade, can cause blackouts for a few hours or even several days. Be prepared with a solar system with energy storage, so you can power your home at night.
Having an energy storage system can greatly reduce your electric bills. That’s why partnering your solar panels and inverter with a good capacity battery system is best to back up your home and further save on electricity costs.
A solar system that includes battery storage does not create any noise pollution. If you have been using a generator whenever the grid is down, you may want to switch to solar, especially if your neighbours are complaining about the noise.
Batteries help reduce carbon footprint. As you bring your home closer to self-sufficiency, you produce lower carbon emissions. This is essential in going green and contributing more towards reducing pollution.

How do I maintain my solar battery to ensure it lasts as long as possible?
To maintain your solar battery effectively, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for care and maintenance. This may include regular checks for any signs of damage, ensuring the battery is kept at an appropriate temperature, and avoiding overcharging or deep discharging, which can shorten its lifespan.
Are There Any Government Incentives for Installing Solar Batteries in Australia?
Yes, various state and federal government incentives and rebates may be available for installing solar batteries in Australia. These incentives can significantly reduce the upfront cost of adding a battery to your solar panel system. For the most current information and eligibility criteria we have guides for WA, Victoria & NSW.
