SOLAR BATTERY STORAGE – A VITAL PART OF YOUR SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM

There are a few things to consider when thinking about solar battery storage. First, what is the size of your home or business? Second, how much power do you use on a daily basis? Third, what is the average cost of electricity in your area? Fourth, how long do you plan on using solar power?

The size of your system, the capacity of your solar battery storage system, the number of solar panels you have, the efficiency of your solar panels, and the amount of sunlight you get where you live will all dictate the type of solar battery storage system you need. The average home uses about 30 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day. A small business may use up to 50 kWh per day. A larger home or business could use as much as 100 kWh per day.

The capacity of the solar battery storage system you need will also be dictated by how much power you want to generate and store. A 1 kilowatt (kW) system can generate and store about 4 kWh of electricity per day. This is enough to power a typical home for one day. A 5 kW system can generate and store about 20 kWh of electricity per day. This is enough to power a small business for one day.

Solar battery storage systems are available in different capacities, sizes, and voltages. The capacity is the amount of electricity that the solar battery storage system can hold. The size is the physical dimensions of the solar battery storage system. The voltage is the amount of electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. Solar battery storage systems typically come in 12, 24, or 48 volt sizes.

The average cost of electricity in the United Kingdom is about 18.9P per kWh (September 2022). In some areas, the cost of electricity is higher. In others, it is lower. Solar battery storage can help you save money on your electric bill. The amount of money you save will depend on the size of your system, the capacity of your solar battery storage system, the number of solar panels you have, the efficiency of your solar panels, and the amount of sunlight you get where you live. 

How long you plan on using solar power will also dictate the type of solar battery storage system you need. If you only plan on using solar power for a few years, you may not need a very large or expensive solar battery storage system. If you plan on using solar power for 20 years or more, you will need a larger and more expensive solar battery storage system. Solar battery storage systems have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years.
