What about about batteries for solar systems ?
Solar systems are quickly reaching each person with consumption awareness and greater control over residential energy. This means that as individuals, we have the opportunity to save money and rely less on utility power, which often comes from less environmentally sources. We are thus generating energy from the sun and promoting care for the environment.
Storage batteries for solar systems are responsible for accumulating electrical energy and providing it when solar panels are not producing electricity. How do they do that? At the moment in which the solar panels produce an amount of energy greater than what you consume, it is used to charge the batteries. The use of batteries also makes it possible to provide a higher current intensity than what a photovoltaic panel can offer in operation. This would be the case if several electrical appliances were used at the same time.
How do they work?
1. The System Produces Energy. When the sun is shining, your solar energy system produces clean, renewable energy that you use to power your home.
2. The battery stores surplus energy. When your solar energy system produces more clean energy than your home needs, the excess energy goes to your residential solar battery.
3. The house consumes the stored energy. If your solar energy system does not produce enough clean energy to power your home, you can use the energy stored in your battery to power your home. How much energy does a residential solar battery store?
What are the advantages of investing in solar batteries?
It serves as a reserve.
If the solar photovoltaic system is connected to the electricity grid, it will produce energy during the day to be consumed by household appliances. Any excess energy is sent to the grid. With a solar battery, this does not happen. Electricity accumulated during the day can be used at night, or as a supplement at times when production cannot be matched.
It has energy independence.
Sunlight is only available during the day. Since most of us consume more energy at night. With a solar battery we will store the excess electricity for later use.
Reduces the ecological footprint.
Fossil fuels are the main source of electricity, so by opting for solar batteries, we will reduce the need to use electricity from the grid. This reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
By installing solar batteries, we are fostering innovation, investing in the smart grid, where we can have more information and be more efficient.
In addition, having solar batteries allows consumers to store energy for themselves, but also to generate and distribute their clean energy to the grid.
Most important characteristics when choosing a battery or a solar kit:
Capacity. The capacity is the current intensity in amperes, which can be obtained from a complete discharge of the electric accumulator when it has a state of full charge.
Charging efficiency. Charging efficiency is the ratio between the energy used to fill the accumulator and the energy actually stored. Therefore, the closer to 100% the better.
Self discharge. Self-discharge is the process of an electric accumulator that, without being in use, tends to discharge.
Depth of discharge. Depth of discharge is the amount of energy obtained during a discharge while fully loaded (%).
