Solar Battery Storage
As energy costs continue to rise and the need for sustainable solutions becomes more pressing, solar battery storage is an essential investment for homeowners and businesses. At Drish Electrical, we specialise in the installation of solar battery storage systems, allowing you to maximise your solar energy usage, reduce reliance on the grid, and benefit from lower electricity bills.
​
Solar battery storage systems allow you to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use during the night or on cloudy days. Instead of sending surplus energy back to the grid, a battery enables you to retain and utilise your own renewable energy, increasing self-sufficiency and efficiency.
Benefits of Solar Battery Storage
Reduce Energy Bills
By storing surplus solar power, you can use free electricity at night, minimising the amount of energy you need to buy from the grid.
Maximise Solar Panel Efficiency
Without a battery, excess energy from your solar panels is often sent back to the grid, resulting in wasted potential. Battery storage ensures no energy goes unused.
Energy Independence
With a solar battery, you are less reliant on the national grid, protecting yourself from power cuts and fluctuating energy prices.
Environmental Benefits
Using stored solar energy reduces dependence on fossil fuels, lowering your carbon footprint and contributing to a greener planet.
Increased Property Value
Properties equipped with solar battery storage are more attractive to buyers looking for energy-efficient homes, leading to a potential increase in resale value.
How Solar Battery Storage Works
-
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours.
-
Excess energy is stored in the battery instead of being sent to the grid.
-
Stored power is used when solar panels are not producing electricity (e.g., at night or on cloudy days).
-
If the battery is full and more power is required, the system can draw electricity from the grid as a backup.
Types of Solar Batteries We Install
Lithium-Ion Batteries
-
The most popular and efficient type of solar battery.
-
Long lifespan (up to 15 years).
-
High depth of discharge (DoD), meaning more usable capacity.
Lead-Acid Batteries
-
A cost-effective option with proven reliability.
-
Best suited for off-grid solar systems.
-
Shorter lifespan compared to lithium-ion batteries.
Hybrid Solar Battery Systems
-
Combine battery storage with smart grid interaction.
-
Automatically switch between solar, battery, and grid power for optimal efficiency.
