PV solar panels with battery storage

PV solar panels and battery storage allow people to benefit from the sunshine during the nighttime.

A game-changer for photovoltaic adoption.

The magic of solar panels for nighttime use.

In a nutshell:

Well-established and proven technology today.

Lifespans consisting of decades.

Commonly installed in the garage.

Nighttime use.

Battery storage is a smart management product that assesses your PV solar panels excess power.

65% of energy costs are racked-up in the evening.

Interestingly, Li-Ion batteries last ten years and another decade at 80% of the original capacity.

The science bit.

Typically, 3000-4000 recharging cycles from a full drain to full charge. The system is designed to switch between devices seamlessly.

750-volt maximum DC input and 3-10 kWh output.

How to use PV solar panels with a battery storage system.

Questions about PV and battery storage

How many hours does battery storage give?

Several, but depends on how many appliances are used.

A 10 kWh sized system will give you ten kilowatts over an hour. A hair dryer takes about 1kW to run, while a washing machine uses several kW to run, but generally, a battery store can power an average household for several hours in the evening.

How long do the batteries last?

Typically, 3000-4000 recharging cycles from a full drain to full charge. The system is designed to switch between devices on demand and seamlessly automatically.

Can I still use Economy 7?

Yes. Ensure you make the installation team are aware that you have Economy 7, so they can structure the install to draw from the grid rather than the battery after 11 pm.

Is it easy to install?

Battery storage installations come with minimum fuss. DIY installations aren't possible because a Part P electrical qualification is required legally.

Conclusion.

Electricity generated on-site has always been the cleanest form of energy and now it's cheapest.

Battery storage provides a more substantial chunk of self-sufficiency.

It's extremely satisfying powering your nighttime endeavors using the Sun.

A consultation can be arranged

"I am writing to commend you and the team that carried out the installation and your staff who handled the paperwork. We have had the solar panels for nearly two months and the equipment is working superbly and the indicators that you have installed show exactly what we are producing every day."
