How to know which solar battery is the best?
Each property being powered by solar energy will require a system set up that matches its individual requirements. This includes solar panel batteries with the correct specifications. The most common batteries are lithium-ion, which can offer a relatively substantial storage capacity, are easy to maintain and can fully charge within a few hours. To choose the best solar battery for your precise circumstances, take a look at its capacity (is it large enough to store sufficient electricity for your needs?), predicted life cycle, how much electricity can be safely discharged (depth of discharge) and the technology used to make it. Other points to research include charging/discharging current, smart grid trading capabilities, AC versus DC and warranty conditions.
Solar battery installation
Solar battery installation is straightforward and quick to do. It can be connected to an existing solar power setup or be fitted as part of a brand-new system. UPS Solar has expert teams of installers around the country who can advise on the best products to buy and then oversee their installation and ongoing maintenance. Contact us today for more details or to ask any questions about solar panel batteries and how they work.
How much will PV battery storage save in terms of mains electricity?
As with any system of this type, the precise amount of money and primary electricity usage that you will be able to save will vary from customer to customer. It will depend on how much electricity you were using before having a solar battery installed and how much you can generate with your PV panels and home battery storage in place. Your energy provider or solar power installation company should be able to help you make more accurate calculations.
Reduce your carbon footprint
Solar power systems help you reduce your carbon footprint by using renewable energy from the sun to generate electricity eliminate or reduce the need for fossil fuels. Being able to store excess electricity for later use is also a great way to be more carbon responsible, as you can be far more self-sufficient when it comes to your energy, rather than needing to use national resources that rely on non-renewable methods of energy production.
Long-lasting batteries with a comprehensive warranty programme
It is important when thinking about having solar battery storage installed to choose a company that can offer systems that are durable to provide a longer working life, as well as one that comes with a comprehensive warranty for five or ten years or more. This will protect you in the event of a malfunction and give you peace of mind that any faulty parts will be repaired, so long as the circumstances in which they are not working fall under the warranty terms.
Built-in battery management system
You can choose to have a built-in battery management system for greater efficiency and a more pleasing aesthetic. Whether installing the whole solar power system all in one go or adding the battery storage element to it as an extra feature, a built-in system will provide you with everything you need to start storing your surplus energy for future use.
Reduce your energy bills
The figures are precise. Installing a domestic battery storage system will have a genuine impact on your energy bills over time, as your reliance on the National Grid will lessen significantly. As you become accustomed to life with solar-powered electricity, you might also be able to switch your gas-supplied appliances, such as your oven or even your central heating and hot water system, to electric alternatives, potentially reducing your overall energy bills even further.
Monitor your PV battery storage anywhere in the world in real-time
Many PV battery storage systems come with software that enables you to remotely track their performance via an app on your smartphone or tablet device. You can check in on the energy efficiency of your house or business from anywhere in the world for peace of mind and help you monitor how much electricity is being generated by your solar PV panel system and then stored for future use while you are away.
