7 benefits of adding batteries to your solar panels
In this blog we are sharing the 7 benefits of adding batteries to your solar panels to increase the potential of your system. Technology is advancing and we can take advantage of it, even more, if you are already one step ahead.
Benefit 7: Power quality
Sometimes there are areas where the power quality is not the best. This generates voltage spikes, mini power outages, among others. With a battery, the consumer can be assured of high quality and stable power.
Benefit 6: Peak shaving
This term refers to the fact that the battery responds when there are high demand peaks on site. For example, when one or several pieces of equipment are switched on at the same time. The starting of electric motors is usually the time when that equipment is consuming the most energy. This is when the battery backs up the energy needed by the equipment, so that it does not use energy from the grid, which is usually more expensive.
Benefit 5: Equipment protection
This point is related to benefit 7. The battery allows electrical equipment to be protected from voltage spikes or mini power outages. If a refrigerator, computer, air conditioner or any other equipment is constantly turning off and on due to power failures, the motors can get damaged. Having voltage spikes means the inconvenience of being without the equipment for an indefinite period of time, plus the time and cost of repair.
Benefit 4: Sanitation
Many houses have water pumps that allow this service to reach the house with good pressure. In the event of a power failure, this service can be lost. That is to say, not only the electricity goes out, but also the water. For a long period of time, sanitation starts to become important. Hand washing, draining toilets, cleaning in kitchens and so on can continue if the water pump is backed up by battery power.
Benefit 3: Keep food refrigerated
If there is a power failure for more than two hours, refrigerated food already starts to spoil. A battery allows you to keep refrigerated food, medicines, beverages and frozen foods refrigerated in order to avoid loss, waste and posible food poisoning.
Benefit 2: Lower electricity bill costs
This is one of the main reasons why people install photovoltaic batteries. Batteries allow lowering the cost of electricity even more if the site already has solar panels.
Benefit 1: Electric backup
Electrical safety is one of the greatest values of photovoltaic batteries. This means that you will have power even if the electricity grid goes out.
