Solar batteries, also known as solar energy storage systems or solar battery storage, are devices that store excess electricity generated from solar panels for later use. They play a crucial role in making solar energy more practical and efficient, especially in scenarios where the sun's energy is not available, such as during nighttime or cloudy days.
How do Solar Batteries Work?
When solar panels produce electricity from sunlight, the energy is typically consumed in real-time to power the electrical devices in the home or business. However, if the energy generated exceeds the immediate demand, the surplus can be stored in solar batteries instead of being sent back to the grid. Solar batteries are usually connected to the solar panel system through an inverter, which converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the panels into usable alternating current (AC) electricity. The inverter also facilitates the charging of the battery with the excess electricity.
