Solar Batteries

Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a Government-backed scheme that ensures excess energy you generate is purchased by your electricity energy provider. However, the rate per Kwh you will receive varies and is likely to be lower than what you are charged to purchase each Kwh. A solar battery, or solar energy storage system, is a device or numerous devices that store electrical energy generated by solar panels for later use. It is an essential component of a solar power system if you wish to store energy that can be utilised when the sun is not shining, such as during the evening, night-time, or periods of high energy demand.

Solar batteries work by converting and storing the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into chemical energy, which can be stored and later converted back into electricity when needed. This stored energy can power various electrical devices and appliances, supplementing or replacing the electricity you draw from the electrical grid.

The most common type of solar battery is the rechargeable deep-cycle battery, typically lead-acid, lithium-ion, or saltwater-based, designed to withstand frequent charging and discharging cycles. It provides a stable electricity supply over extended periods. Integrating them into your solar power systems is a great way to optimise energy usage, reduce reliance on the grid, and achieve greater energy independence.
