Do you have to install solar panels on the roof?

No, we don’t. Depending on which area receives the most sun, we can either install solar panels on the roof or at ground level.

How long does a solar battery last?

A solar battery's lifespan can vary depending on the type and usage, but most high-quality solar batteries last between 10 to 15 years. Factors such as the battery's cycle life, maintenance and environmental conditions can influence its longevity. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help extend the life of your solar battery, ensuring it continues to provide reliable energy storage for many years.

Can I use a solar battery during a blackout?

Yes, one of the main benefits of a solar battery is its ability to provide backup power during a blackout. When the grid goes down, a solar battery can automatically switch to supply power to your home or business, keeping essential appliances and systems running. This ensures you have a reliable power source during emergencies, enhancing your energy independence and security.

What size solar battery do I need for my home?

The appropriate solar battery size depends on several factors, including your daily energy consumption, the size of your existing solar PV system, and your specific energy storage goals, such as complete off-grid living or peak-shaving. We can analyse your energy profile and recommend a system tailored to maximise energy independence and efficiency.

Understanding Solar Battery Benefits

Solar batteries work by storing the excess energy your solar panels collect instead of transferring it to the grid. This stored energy can be used later, ensuring you have a reliable power source during peak times or in case of blackouts. Here are some key benefits of installing a solar battery with Central Solar Services:

Energy Independence: By storing your solar energy, you rely less on the grid, reducing your electricity bills.
Backup Power: Ensure your home or business remains powered during blackouts.
Environmental Impact: Reduce your carbon footprint by using stored solar energy instead of grid electricity.
Cost Savings: Use stored energy during peak demand times when electricity rates are higher.

How Do Solar Batteries Work?

Solar batteries store the excess energy produced by your solar panels, allowing you to use them when your panels are not generating power, such as at night or during cloudy weather. This helps maximise the efficiency of your solar system, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering energy bills.

Here’s a breakdown of how solar batteries function:

Energy Collection: During the day, solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. Any excess energy that is not used immediately is sent to the solar battery for storage.
Energy Storage: Solar batteries store the surplus energy as direct current (DC). Modern batteries are designed to hold energy efficiently, ensuring minimal loss during storage.
Energy Conversion: When your home needs electricity, and the solar panels are not generating power, the battery discharges the stored energy. Your solar inverter converts the DC power into an alternating current (AC) compatible with household appliances.
Grid Integration: If the battery runs out of stored energy, your system seamlessly switches to draw power from the grid, ensuring a consistent energy supply. Conversely, in some systems, excess energy can be fed back into the grid for credits under feed-in tariffs.
