Adding a Battery to Your Solar PV System - ElectricsFixed, Hereford

If you are looking for an expert in renewable energy installations in Hereford, then you have come to the right place. ElectricsFixed are Hereford’s solar panel specialists. We are experts in installations, maintenance, and repairs for solar PV systems.

Did you know you can get more from your solar panels? If you are relying on your energy provider to supply electricity at night, you could benefit from adding a battery to your solar system. Our qualified electricians at ElectricsFixed are highly trained and knowledgeable at designing a system which suits your energy consumption, house size and budget. You can be rest assured a 5-star service from us. 

What is a Solar Battery?

A solar battery is just like any form of battery. Its purpose is to store excess energy generated from your solar PV system, allowing it to be used at a time where your solar panels are not generating. This is typically on cloudy days or after the sun goes down. 

Adding a Solar Battery to a Solar PV System

Although it is possible to add a solar battery to an existing solar system, some simple adjustments may need to be made. Older solar systems were not inclined to pair with a solar battery; therefore may need some upgrades. It is important to speak with a professional about your solar panel addition so they can examine your solar system and see what changes need to be made. Our qualified electricians at ElectricsFixed are highly trained to make those simple changes to allow your system to store energy. This may include replacing an existing inverter to something more compatible.

A solar panel inverter is a piece of equipment which converts the DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) to make it compatible with your appliances. It is important to speak with a qualified electrician to ensure the changes are made safely. 

Benefits of Solar Battery Storage

After the installation of your solar battery you can begin to take advantage of its benefits. These include:

  • Get More from Your System

    With the addition of a solar battery, you no longer have to sell excess energy to the National Grid and can save it for use at a later date.

  • Becoming More Energy Independent 

    Creating and storing your own renewable energy, means you are less reliant on the National Grid to provide electricity during a time where your solar panels are not generating. 

  • Sustainable Lifestyle

    Living off your own renewable energy, means your relying less on fossil fuels and you will also be reducing your carbon footprint.

  • Save Money on Your Energy Bills 

    You will quickly notice a reduction in your energy bills after the installation of a solar storage battery.
