    How do Solar Batteries Work?

    Solar PV can only power your home during daylight without a solar battery. As a result, you’re still reliant on the grid in the evening. However, a solar battery allows you to store the surplus energy produced during the day to use later.

    Here is a simple overview of how battery storage systems work:

    • The cells on solar PV panels collect the sun’s energy, converting it into electricity.
    • The inverter converts the electrical current from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current)
    • AC is then used to power your appliances
    • Your solar battery stores any excess solar energy
    • The battery moves DC electricity to the inverter, which converts to current to AC
    • The switchboard moves the electricity through your home to power your appliances
    • If the battery runs empty, you can buy electricity from the grid.
