If you already have solar panels, you’re likely enjoying the benefits of reduced electricity bills and greater energy independence. But did you know adding a battery can make your system even more powerful? A battery stores excess energy produced by your solar panels during the day, enabling you to use it at night when electricity prices are higher — maximising the value of your energy and lowering your overall costs.
For example, our office system produces enough energy to power the office during operational hours. Any excess energy generated throughout the day is stored in our battery, and overnight, we trade that stored energy on the wholesale market. This not only helps reduce our energy costs but also turns the energy we generate into a profit, with savings stacking up over time.
For households, the benefits are equally impressive. Rather than sending excess power back to the grid at a lower rate, a battery allows you to store that energy and use it later when electricity prices spike, or even sell it when market rates are high. This flexibility is invaluable, especially during peak demand periods when prices tend to soar. The ability to use solar-generated power on your own terms ensures you’re never paying more than you have to.
A battery also helps provide energy security. During blackouts or power outages, your stored energy can keep your home running, offering peace of mind that you’re not left in the dark. The added backup power is a bonus that makes the initial investment even more worthwhile.
Over time, the cost savings add up, and with the upcoming federal battery rebate, it’s an even better time to consider adding a battery to your solar system. By combining solar with battery storage, you’re locking in savings, improving your home’s energy efficiency, and gaining more control over your energy future.
