What is Solar Battery Storage and How Does It Work?
Understanding Solar Battery Storage
Solar battery storage systems are designed to capture and store excess energy generated by your solar panels during periods of peak sunlight. Instead of allowing this surplus energy to go to waste, the system saves it for later use, ensuring that your home remains powered even when the sun isn’t shining brightly—such as during cloudy days or throughout the winter months, which are common in the UK.
How Does Solar Battery Storage Work?
Solar panels generate electricity in the form of direct current (DC). However, most household appliances and electrical systems operate on alternating current (AC). Typically, the DC electricity produced by solar panels is converted into AC electricity by an inverter before it is used in your home.
In the case of solar battery storage, the DC electricity can be stored directly in the batteries before conversion. This is a more efficient method, as it minimises energy loss that can occur during the conversion process. When the stored energy is needed, it can be converted to AC and used to power your home.
Choosing the Right System
When setting up solar battery storage, homeowners may encounter options between AC-coupled and DC-coupled systems. A DC-coupled system stores energy more efficiently by feeding DC electricity directly into the batteries. On the other hand, an AC-coupled system is often easier to install and can be a good option if you’re adding battery storage to an existing solar panel setup.
Another option to consider is a hybrid inverter, which is a versatile solution that can convert both DC and AC electricity. This type of inverter simplifies your home’s energy infrastructure, making the entire system more streamlined and efficient.
Professional Guidance
While understanding the technical aspects of solar battery storage is helpful, it’s important to note that homeowners don’t need to make these decisions on their own. Professional solar installers, such as those at Kent Solar Panel, will assess your home’s energy needs and recommend the best system for you.
