Without a battery, electricity your panels generate during the day and you do not use goes to the grid. A battery stores it so you can use it in the evening. Some households also charge batteries on cheaper overnight tariffs.
New or existing systems
Batteries can be installed with a new solar system or added to an existing one. Depending on your inverter, an existing system may need a hybrid inverter or an AC-coupled battery.
Questions to ask installers
- What size of battery suits my usage and generation?
- Is it AC or DC coupled, and does my inverter need changing?
- How many charge cycles is the battery warrantied for?
- Can it charge from the grid on a cheaper tariff?
- Does it provide backup power during a power cut?
FAQs
Battery storage: common questions
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Usually, yes. The installer will check your inverter and system to recommend the right battery and connection method.
How long do solar batteries last?
Most home batteries come with a warranty of around ten years or a set number of cycles. Ask your installer for the specific warranty terms.
Will a battery keep my power on in a power cut?
Only if it is set up to provide backup power. Many systems are not by default, so ask your installer.
