How does Battery Storage work?
A battery system allows you to store surplus energy generated by your Solar PV system for later use within your property. These batteries can charge from excess solar power or from the grid. Advanced software integrated into these systems utilizes algorithms that work in tandem with renewable energy production methods, such as solar power, to store excess energy or release it to the grid.
Batteries are available in various sizes, and the rate at which these systems can absorb and discharge energy is determined by the system's controller. The typical charge/discharge rate for battery systems is 3kW.
Lithium-ion batteries, commonly found in mobile phones and electric vehicles, are the predominant battery types in the renewable energy sector.
Depending on the type of system you have installed, if you already have solar power at your property and are adding batteries retrospectively, a separate battery controller will be installed. This controller manages the storage solution and determines when to utilize surplus power or feed it back to the grid.
The solar panels on the roof or ground system produce direct current (DC) power.
The inverter receives and converts DC power, which is then stored in a battery system.
Stored energy is accessible around the clock and released during periods of demand.
The battery has the capability to recharge from the grid during more cost-effective nighttime tariff periods.

After getting prices from a few companies we eventually chose SPS to install a 6.5kWh Growatt battery system on to our solar. Great decision, credit to the installers who showed me how to use the app. Very pleased!
