Common Misconception About Battery
Battery Needs Replacement Every few Years
Consumers often are under the impression that a battery backup offers at max 2 to 3 years of lifetime whereas in truth this impression is wrong. Currently available battery options normally offer 10 years brand warranty indicating that batteries are expected to last at least 10 years. With efficient inverters and healthy power habits one can expand battery backup life even to 15 or 20 years.
Battery Backup Needs to be Switched on for Use
Consumers often ask that ” in case of power outage do they have to switch on the battery backup?”. The answer to this question is “No”. Current smart inverters and battery backups are programmed to make your experience seamless and hassle free therefore you can expect all cogs of machinery to to smoothly work in tandem to make your experience worthwile.
Battery Backup has no Impact of Feeds in Tariff
Feed in tariff is applied when consumer feeds his excess solar generation into the grid and the regional distributor pays the consumer for the amount of energy fed into the grid. Through proper battery backup setting one can greatly reap benefits of feed in tariff. As per research if battery backup is configured to be charged on off peak hours and feeds stored energy to grid during on peak hours it can monumentally optimize system efficiency and reduce payback period of whole system up to 1.5 to 2 years.
