A battery only installation works by storing electrical energy in battery packs, which can be charged from the grid or renewable sources. The system includes a Battery Management System (BMS) to monitor and manage the batteries’ state, ensuring safe and efficient operation. An inverter/converter converts the stored direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) for use by household appliances and electrical loads. The control system oversees the entire process, coordinating between the batteries, inverter, and connected loads, and may include a user interface for monitoring and control. This setup allows for energy storage during off peak times or from renewable sources, providing power during peak demand or outages.

Why is it important for you to complete your solar system by adding a storage battery ?
Adding a storage battery to a solar system is important because it maximises the use of solar energy by storing excess power generated during the day for use at night or during cloudy periods. This reduces reliance on the electrical grid and can significantly lower electricity bills by using stored energy during peak demand times when electricity rates are higher. Additionally, a battery provides backup power during outages, enhancing energy security and independence. Overall, integrating a battery with a solar system ensures a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective energy solution.

Battery only frequently asked questions
What is a battery only installation?
A battery only installation is a system where batteries are used to store and supply electrical energy independently, without being paired with a renewable energy source like solar panels or wind turbines.
How does a battery only system work?
The system stores energy in battery packs, which can be charged from the grid or other sources. An inverter/converter changes the stored DC power to AC for use by household appliances, while a control system manages the overall operation.
What are the benefits of a battery only installation?
Benefits include energy storage during off-peak times, reduced electricity bills, backup power during outages, and increased energy independence.
How big of a battery system do I need?
The size depends on your energy consumption, the desired amount of backup power, and the length of time you want to run off stored energy. An energy audit can help determine the appropriate size.
What maintenance is required for a battery only system?
Maintenance requirements vary by battery type, but generally include regular inspections, ensuring proper ventilation, and monitoring the Battery Management System (BMS) for optimal performance.
