How does a solar battery work?

A solar battery stores electricity—usually from your solar panels—so you can use it later. During the day, your solar system powers your home first. If you’re producing more than you’re using, the excess energy goes into the battery. Later, when the sun goes down and your panels stop generating, your battery steps in and powers your home.

What are lithium solar batteries?

Lithium solar batteries are great for providing backup power when grid power fails. For those who live in places where natural disasters are common, storing solar energy for “a rainy day” is a must! Likewise for areas with unreliable power grids.

Do you need a solar battery?

The main reason most people get a battery is to use more of their own solar power. Without a battery, most homes export their excess solar to the grid for just a few cents per kilowatt-hour. But with a battery, you can store that extra solar energy during the day and use it at night, when you’d otherwise be paying much more for electricity.

Can you use lithium batteries on a solar array?

When you add lithium batteries to your array, your solar power will go a lot further, making the switch to off-grid much easier. Lithium solar batteries are great for providing backup power when grid power fails.
