Why does a solar battery make sense?

A solar battery is an important part of a modern solar power system because it can significantly increase the share of solar electricity used on site and improve the system’s economics. Instead of exporting all surplus solar power to the grid, stored energy can be used directly in the household. Depending on the system and consumption profile, this can raise self-consumption considerably—potentially to as much as 85%.

Higher self-consumption and lower costs

Rather than exporting surplus solar electricity and later buying more expensive electricity from the grid, a solar battery makes stored solar power available for household use. This reduces grid consumption, can lower electricity costs and increases independence from future electricity-price rises. A high self-consumption rate can make the entire solar system more efficient and economical.

Flexible battery options

A wide range of lithium-ion battery systems is available for new and existing solar installations and for different inverter platforms. The battery should be designed professionally and selected to match the individual system, consumption profile, inverter and backup requirements.
