Batteries

Q: What are the different types of solar batteries?

Solar batteries come in various forms. Here are some of the available technologies: Lithium-ion Flow Lead-acid Sodium nickel chloride

Q: Will the exhaust fan seal cause the mould?

The Exhaust fan seal is not permanent, it's a self-closing exhaust fan seal that temporarily closes when the exhaust fan is not in use which helps to protect your building materials and furniture from deterioration.

Q: Is the seal cover for our exhaust fan round or square?

Our exhaust fan seals are designed with a round shape, so they are compatible only with round exhaust fans.

Q: Do we get a vent cover for each vent we buy?

Our installer's primary responsibility is to perform a site assessment during the solar panel installation process. Based on this assessment, the installer will identify which vents need to be covered. Generally, we focus on covering the vents that you are not frequently using, rather than providing a cover for every single vent.

Q: Can I claim a rebate on my existing solar system, or is it only available for new solar system purchases?

Unfortunately, the rebates only apply to new solar systems so you can’t claim the rebate on your existing system. But if you're looking to buy a new solar system, then you can get another rebate.

A solar power system offers various advantages, but what do you do when it generates excess electricity? Besides sending it back to the grid, you can also store your surplus power with a solar battery energy system.

What is Solar Power Storage?

Solar batteries are add-ons that allow you to collect excess power created by your solar panels.

This stored electricity kicks in when your panels can’t generate enough energy—at night, during outages, and on overcast days. Solar batteries charge during the day and use the stored energy to power your house as needed.

Using battery energy imports less electricity from the grid and reduces your power bill. Without one, your excess energy goes back to the grid. Why not make the most of your generated power by storing it and using it as needed?

There are two methods of adding a battery to your solar system:

DC Coupling

This approach involves a hybrid inverter that controls your solar battery and panels. It’s typically pricier than a regular solar inverter but comes with fewer steps and more efficiency.

Some batteries only pair with specific inverters, so make sure they’re compatible first. Buying your solar and battery system simultaneously sets you up with an all-in-one energy storage system.

AC Coupling

This method involves an additional battery inverter that converts the AC output of the solar inverter into DC to charge your battery. It suits all types of solar systems but has more steps and can clash with your local grid rules on sizes.

This solar system installation choice ensures you stay connected despite bad weather or darkness by switching back to mains when necessary. There’s no need for battery storage, and installation is quick and fuss-free.

Did you know that by installing a grid connection, you also increase the value of your property? Enjoy a higher return on investment and 100% renewable energy with this setup.

Benefits of Solar Batteries

A battery energy storage system offers plenty of perks. Here’s how solar batteries can help you make the most of your sun-kissed power:

Store Excess Energy

collects your unused electricity and stores it for later use.

Backup Power

ensures your home has electricity during power outages.

Solar Without The Sun

import less electricity from the grid and save cash.

Reduce Footprint

Less of your clean energy goes to waste.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Batteries

Got any lingering queries? Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about solar battery energy:

How many solar batteries do you need?

Every household and business has unique needs, so the optimal number of solar batteries varies. Here’s a general overview of how many you may require based on different scenarios: • If your goal is to keep the lights on when the grid goes down, you’ll likely need only one battery. • If your goal is to save as much money as possible, you’ll probably need around 2–3 batteries. • If your goal is to get off the grid entirely, you’ll probably need 8–12 batteries.

What are the different types of solar batteries?

What happens when the solar batteries are fully charged?

When your battery is full, it stops absorbing energy. The solar panels continue to produce voltage, although it won’t be stored until there’s more space or when the demand increases.

You can keep your batteries connected at all times, as they include over-charge protection and other safety features.
