HOW DOES BATTERY WORK?
Solar Panels generate energy only during the day when the Sun is shining. All electricity produced by them must be used in real-time. The excess or unused energy produced during daylight hours can be sold to the grid using feed-in tariffs (FIT). However, recent changes meant massive decrease in FIT, making it not profitable for you to sell, as you get compensated next to nothing (approx. 8 cents). Then when you need electricity when the Sun goes down, you end up buying the electricity from the grid at super high rates (up to 40 cents).
These recent changes to FIT mean you benefit the Electrical company, not yourself.
If the energy generated by your Solar during the day is not saved for use later, all your energy needs after 5pm approx. must be met by buying electricity from the grid. Also, since the sun doesn’t shine all the time, even in summer, you’re never going to be able to generate enough to save significant money from having solar alone.
That’s where a battery comes into play.
A battery is an energy storage system that stores excess of your FREE electricity from solar panels, so that any electricity that isn’t used immediately is stored for later use, when the sun is not active enough for your solar (approx. after 5pm in summer and 4pm in winter). By storing excess energy and making sure you always have access to your FREE electricity at the evening you save money.
Your battery allows you to use your solar panels as effectively as possible. In fact, the right battery can help you to intelligently utilise your FREE solar energy your panels produce – from around 25% to as much as 80% (for an average solar home) – and dramatically reduce your energy bills. Saves you big money from buying electricity from the grid at high rates after 3 pm.
How much Money can Solar + Battery Save you?
For many of us who work 9 to 5, electricity consumption is usually high in the morning, while it drops off at midday when people go to work. In the evening, power consumption increases again when families return home. While solar produces electricity ONLY during the day when most of us are at work and don’t use it.
As you can probably understand, the energy production and energy usage cycles just don’t match. What does this mean for your energy bills?
Let’s see what happens if…
If you Buy ONLY Solar
You have 6.6kW of solar panels that produces average 25kW a day. Your property will use about 30% of that energy (7.5kWh) when you are not at home. This leaves around 17.5kWh to sell to the grid.
Your income from feed-in tariffs will vary depending on the company you are dealing with. The lucky ones will be paid around 10 cents per 1kW.
17.5kWh x 10 cents = $1.75 a day
This is how much you are going to earn per day having solar on your roof. Now, when your family returns home after dark, the electricity you sold to the grid is repurchased, at up 25% plus standard tariffs earlier in the day.
An average household consumes around 7-10kWh of power between 3pm and 10pm. It doesn’t take a mathematician to understand that the figures just don’t add up to meaningful savings.
10kWh x 40 cents = $4 a day
If you Buy Solar AND Battery
You have a 10kWh solar battery. During the day when the sun is shining and you are not at home, your solar panels generate energy and store them in a solar battery — all that 10kWh!
Leaving you with just 1.5 kWh to sell to the grid, which is just $0.25 earning a day. Not that much, BUT let’s see what happens next!
In the evening, you do NOT have to buy all your power back from the grid. That leaves you with:
10kWh x 40 cents = $4 a day
$4 x 365 days = $1460 a year!
You’re saving $4.25/day, paying $0 on your energy bill!
That is why solar panels are NOT the same without a battery!
Solar Battery is the answer to massive savings!
