BATTERY / HYBRID
HYBRID SOLAR SYSTEMS
A hybrid solar system allows you to store the excess power generated by your solar panels in batteries, rather than sending it all back to the grid. This stored power can be used when your solar system isn’t actively generating energy, such as overnight or during a blackout, providing you with greater energy independence and security.
Statistics show that the adoption of solar batteries is on the rise in New South Wales, driven by increasing energy prices and the improved return on investment. With the NSW Government aiming for significant growth in renewable energy usage, more households are recognising the value of solar batteries.
Additionally, having a solar battery system in place means you can still rely on mains power when needed, ensuring a seamless energy supply.
MAXIMUM SOLAR UTILISATION
By integrating a solar battery with your solar system, you ensure that the excess energy generated during the day is fully utilised. Instead of sending surplus power back to the grid, a solar battery stores this energy for later use. This approach maximises the efficiency and effectiveness of your solar system, reducing waste and increasing your energy savings.
Additionally, using stored solar energy during peak demand times, when electricity rates are highest, can further enhance your savings. This not only ensures that you get the most out of your investment but also contributes to a more stable and predictable energy bill.
MITIGATING WEATHER IMPACT
By storing excess solar energy, you can effectively mitigate the impact of fluctuating solar production due to weather conditions. The Mid North Coast of New South Wales experiences a diverse climate, with sunny periods interspersed with cloudy days and seasonal variations. During the summer months, the region enjoys ample sunshine, which is ideal for solar energy production. However, the winter months bring shorter daylight hours and more frequent cloudy days, reducing solar output.
A solar battery ensures that you still have access to the energy generated during sunnier periods, providing a consistent power supply and enhancing the reliability of your solar system. This stored energy can be used during overcast weather or in the winter, reducing your dependence on the grid and ensuring a stable energy supply for your home. It smooths out the variations in daily and seasonal solar production, creating a buffer against unexpected weather changes.
