Battery Powered Solar Dream

Its common knowledge to reap the most benefit from one’s investment. Solar system without batteries is beneficial at day time but we cannot reap its benefits at night. To enhance its capabilities we can add battery storage. Addition of batteries will

Store excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night, increasing self-reliance and grid independence.
Even benefit during day time by allowing users to utilize stored energy during peak pricing periods thus lowering electricity bills.
Even benefit during day time by allowing users to utilize stored energy during peak pricing periods thus lowering electricity bills.
Economic analyses indicate that the payback period for solar systems with battery storage can be reduced from 13 years to 11.7 years when considering peak demand pricing

What is a Solar Battery?

A battery is a device which converts electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa. It is like a tiny chemical factory where electrons are produced and pushed through a wire to power something like a light bulb; think of it like a “chemical fuel” that can be used to create electricity on demand, with the positive and negative terminals acting as the “outlet” to access that power.

How Does a Battery Work?

Just like a rubber band if one stretches it energy is stored in it. This stored energy can be released back one string is released similarly a battery works by storing chemical energy inside itself, and when you connect it to a device, it releases that energy as electricity through a chemical reaction.

Deep Cycle

Lifespan

It is abbreviated as “Kilo Watt Hour”.It is unit of energy produced by solar panels.

Amount of energy battery can store.

It is abbreviated as “Ampere Hour”. It is a unit of battery capacity that indicated battery capacity.

Electricity grid power outage.

The process of fully charging and discharging a rechargeable battery

A battery that is capable of getting discharged below than 20% and still retain its life cycle.

Age of batteries in terms of its charging & discharging cycles.

Join Trend of going Grid Less

Off grid or hybrid configurations in solar systems are become the new norm. The increased flexibility, environmental concern and advancement of technology is propelling this trend. Addition of batteries has become essential because of

Reduced Electricity Bills

Blackout Proofing.

Self Reliance.

Enhanced payback period.

Benefits of Off Grid System

Incentives from government.

Flexibility is supply.

Improvement in system effeciency.

Latest technology.

Choosing best Battery Backup

Scalability

Choose a battery setup that is modular in nature such that it can be expandable as per need in future.

Type and Chemistry

Lithium ion batteries.
Lead acid batteries.
Sealed Lead acid batteries. AGM
Sealed Lead acid batteries. VRLA/Tubular
Lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Read about available battery types according to battery chemistry. Lithium ion is most common type used for solar systems but its better to learn about all available options and choose what suits your needs. Browse to know more about:

Optimum Performance at Budget

Prices of solar batteries greatly differ depending on several factors with higher costs for premium options. Price deciding factors include choice of:

Battery chemistry.
Storage capacity
Life cycle
Battery effeciency.

Additional Cost

Manufacturing process of batteries and their network management can also add to cost of similar batteries.

Rebate and incentives up to 2400 AUD.

Blackout proofing and self resilience.

Shielding from grid price hikes.

Maximize solar generation and utilization effeciency.

Why Invest in Battery

Battery backup can be an incremental upgrade tp ypur existing solar system because:

Electricity tariff is forecasted to increase by 56% in next two years.
Gap between feed in tariff and electricity tariff is too large to reap benefits from feed in tariff. (Feed in Tariff: 5 cents vs Grid Tariff: 33 Cents on peak)
Global warming and sudden weather changes have increased chances of natural disasters and it is imperative to build capacity to face these challenges.
