Solar batteries are a great way to store excess energy that your home does not need during daylight hours and save it for later.
If you are finding that your solar PV system is generating enough excess energy to charge a battery, you’ll be able to continue to power your home with the battery and rely less and less on the grid.
According to the Climate Council, if you have a 5kW residential solar PV system and add a 4kWh battery, you may be able to double the generation of solar power for your home.
