As the demand for renewable energy solutions grows, solar batteries have become an essential component for homeowners and businesses looking to maximise their solar energy systems. Solar batteries store the energy produced by your solar panels, allowing you to use it during periods of low sunlight or at night.
We explore the benefits of batteries, how to choose the right one, and how SunBuilt Solar can guide you through the process.Here’s why every Australian household should consider getting solar ready for the future.
One of the most compelling reasons to make homes solar ready is the potential for significant cost savings on energy bills. Solar energy allows homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing reliance on the grid and protecting against rising electricity prices. By producing energy during the day and using it in real time or storing it in batteries for later use, homeowners can significantly reduce their energy expenses. Over time, the cost savings can offset the initial investment, leading to long-term financial benefits.
SunBuilt Solar collaborates with industry leaders like Tesla and Sungrow to deliver top-quality solar battery solutions tailored to Australian households and businesses. By partnering with these trusted brands, SunBuilt Solar ensures access to cutting-edge technology, including Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow’s advanced battery systems, designed for superior energy storage and performance.
Advantages of Solar Batteries
- Storage - batteries store the excess electricity generated by your solar panels. Instead of sending surplus energy back to the grid, these batteries allow you to store it for later use.
- Extra Energy - during power outages or when your energy needs exceed the energy being produced by your panels.
- Long Lasting - batteries use advanced lithium-ion or lead-acid technology to provide efficient and long-lasting energy storage.
- With the rise of smart energy systems, many batteries now come with apps and monitoring systems to help you track and manage your energy usage effectively.
