With efficient inverters and healthy power habits one can expand battery backup life even to 15 or 20 years.
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.
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.
