Why Batteries?
Backup Power During Outages
- In the event of a grid failure, a solar-powered battery system can provide backup power to keep essential appliances running. This is particularly valuable for people in areas with unreliable power grids or during extreme weather conditions that lead to outages.
Environmental Impact:
- By relying more on your solar battery system and less on grid power, you reduce your carbon footprint. You’re using more renewable energy from your solar panels rather than potentially drawing power from fossil-fuel-based electricity sources.
Energy Independence:
- With a battery backup, you can reduce reliance on the grid. This is particularly beneficial in areas with frequent power outages or where electricity prices can fluctuate. You can ensure you have access to energy even during a power cut.
Future Proofing:
- As more homes and businesses adopt solar and the grid becomes more reliant on renewable energy, the possibility of grid instability increases. Having battery backup can help future-proof your energy needs, ensuring a stable power supply regardless of grid fluctuations.
Batteries vs. Generators
Batteries offer a backup solution that are cleaner and quieter. Most generators run on fossil fuels which means they omit harmful gases. They can also be a louder solution, whereas batteries operate silently. Generators also require maintenance such as oil changes and engine servicing, whereas batteries don't.
