If you’re already enjoying the benefits of solar energy, great! You’re one step ahead in reducing your carbon footprint and saving on your electric bill.  By adding battery storage to your solar system, you can save even more money and increase your energy independence.

We’ll go over what battery storage is, how it works, and why it’s a smart addition to your solar panel setup. We’ll also cover the various types of battery storage, their benefits, and how to choose the best one for your needs. Get ready to take your solar energy game to the next level!  Adding battery storage to an existing solar panel system is a smart move for many reasons.

By incorporating a battery storage system, you can achieve greater energy independence as you no longer have to rely solely on the grid for electricity during the evenings or when your array is not producing.  Additionally, battery storage can help you lower your energy costs by reducing your reliance on the grid during peak hours when electricity is most expensive.  This means that you can use your stored energy during these peak hours to avoid high prices and instead rely on the grid when it is cheaper. Finally, adding battery storage to an existing solar panel system can improve sustainability by reducing your carbon footprint. By generating and storing clean energy, you can reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a healthier planet. Overall, incorporating battery storage into an existing solar panel system can provide numerous benefits for homeowners looking to save money and reduce their environmental impact.

By adding battery storage to an existing solar panel system, you are not only increasing your energy independence and reducing your electricity bills but also contributing to a more sustainable future. As we continue to rely on non-renewable energy sources, we are releasing harmful emissions that are directly responsible for climate change. By utilizing stored energy from a solar panel system, you can reduce your dependence on fossil fuels, lower your carbon footprint and help create a cleaner and healthier environment for future

When it comes to adding battery storage to an existing solar panel system, it is essential to evaluate the size of the batteries you’re considering. Factors such as the amount of power you are currently using and the size of your solar panel system should be taken into account. This is because the capacity of your batteries will determine how much energy they can store, which, in turn, will affect the efficiency of your solar panel system. Choosing batteries with enough capacity to store all the energy produced by your solar panels will ensure that you have uninterrupted power supply even when there is no sunlight.

Adding battery storage to an existing solar panel system requires careful planning and consideration beyond just purchasing and installing the batteries. It is essential to ensure that the batteries are compatible with other components in the solar panel system and that they can work seamlessly together. This includes charge controllers and inverters, which play significant roles in the control and management of the entire system. Furthermore, proper installation of the batteries is critical for ensuring safety and optimal performance.  Here at Moulton Solar we have all the expertise to do this for you.
