Powering your home or building with solar energy through the use of solar panels can be beneficial in many ways until the sun goes down at night. You might then feel at a loss as to how you’re supposed to find an energy source for your home or building, but you don’t have to be so concerned when you consider solar batteries as a solution.
Here is some information on how solar batteries work to help you decide if they might be the right solution for your nighttime energy needs.
- Charge during the day: Solar batteries can be connected to your solar panel system. They collect a charge for the battery from the solar panels and sunlight during the day, storing it to be saved until it is needed later.
- Switch to battery use at night: When the sun goes down at night, the power system can switch to the use of your solar batteries that had been charging all day. Most batteries can store enough power to power the home or building for at least a few hours. This can also make it convenient during power outages from the power grid.
- Some can be stacked: There are some solar batteries that can be stacked to expand your energy storage capacity and run time, so you can rely on your solar battery for longer periods of time or even throughout the night without having to worry about running out of power.
Solar batteries can be beneficial when you need an alternate power source during the night, and you don’t want to rely on the power grid. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
