Solar batteries have been around for years, but they were previously only cost-effective for a small number of solar systems, mostly off-grid systems. However, recent advances in battery technology and reductions in battery prices have made solar storage batteries a viable option for many grid-tied solar systems as well.
When you installed your solar system a few years ago, batteries may not have been a cost-effective option. However, as battery technology improves and prices decline, you may want to consider adding energy storage to save even more on your energy bills.
Yes, you can add batteries to an existing solar panel system. There are different ways to do this, but before we discuss your options, let's briefly explain how batteries work.
When your solar panels generate electricity, it is converted to direct current (DC) electricity. The inverter then converts the DC electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used to power your home or office. But what happens if your solar panels generate more electricity than you need?
This is where you can install a battery to store excess electricity generated by your solar panels. If you use more electricity than your solar panels produce, you can draw energy from the battery instead of relying on the grid.
Most grid-tied solar systems can be retrofitted with batteries, but the difficulty varies depending on a number of factors. Here are a few ways to add a battery to your solar system.
