Why do you need a solar battery kit?

The benefits of having a solar battery kit extends beyond power backup. Solar battery systems efficiently store excess energy generated by your solar panels, allowing you to tap into this resource during peak hours when utility rates are at their highest.

What is a solar battery backup system?

Solar battery backup guarantees a power source — even during a grid service failure or natural disaster. When the grid goes down, a solar battery backup system automatically detects and transitions your solar system from grid power to backup power.

Should I buy a battery with my solar kit?

Purchasing a battery along with your solar kit offers a pathway to energy independence from your utility company, especially when they provide a meager buyback rate for surplus energy you send to the grid. With a battery storage system in place, excess solar energy can be stored instead of sold to the utility for low rates.

How do solar battery kits work?

Solar battery kits give you everything you need to power your home and keep it running during a grid outage. When utility power is available, your solar panels generate electricity that can roll back your energy bill. If the power goes out, the system draws energy from the battery bank to keep your most important electrical loads running.

What types of batteries are used for solar energy storage?

There are several types of batteries commonly used for solar energy storage, each with its own unique characteristics and advantages. Lithium, Flooded Lead-Acid and Sealed Lead Acid batteries are three primary technologies used for solar energy storage, each with distinct characteristics.

How does a battery storage system work?

With a battery storage system in place, excess solar energy can be stored instead of sold to the utility for low rates. This empowers you to rely less on the utility's low buyback rate and instead harness your self-generated energy, reducing your reliance on your utility company.
