Electrifying your home is about eliminating the use of harmful fossil fuels in your house, but it’s also important to take advantage of clean electricity. Electric utilities don’t always generate electricity from “clean” or renewable sources (about a third of the electricity generated in California is from burning fossil fuels), so the more energy you’re able to use from clean sources, the better.
A solar battery storage system allows California homeowners with solar PV (photovoltaic) panels to store the excess electricity they generate for later use. You can maximize the benefits of your solar panels and further reduce your carbon footprint by storing any extra electricity that your panels produce.
With All American Plumbing Heating & Air, it’s easier than ever to find a qualified solar battery installer who can help you right-size and install a battery storage system that’s right for your home.
What Is Battery Storage?
Solar battery storage consists of a device that reserves energy gained during hot, sunny days for later use. The stored energy is used when needed, even when your solar panels are not generating power or during a power outage. During the late afternoon, when energy consumption is at it’s highest, energy companies will charge higher rates because they can. Having solar battery storage can counteract the high prices of time-of-use electrical rates! Your reserved energy was gained during the day. This energy can be used at your discretion to diminish any or all costs associated with using power during peak hours. This is just one example of the ways that battery storage can assist you.
Another is the ability to use this stored energy during a power outage. While all of your neighbors are looking for their dusty old flashlights, you can continue your day without skipping a beat because you won’t even notice that there is a power outage! Solar battery storage also allows users to switch from stored power to normal power without any sort of time gap. This is crucial for emergency situations like power outages.
The Benefits Of Battery Storage For Your California Home
- Use more of the electricity your solar panels produce
- Power your home with more clean energy
- Reduce your energy bills by using more free electricity
- Keep power on at your house during outages and PSPS events
- Help stabilize the energy grid for your fellow Californians during peak demand periods
Connecting battery storage to your solar panels gives you a variety of options when it comes to powering the electric appliances and systems in your home. You can use free, clean solar energy and electricity generated by your panels any time of day, not just when the sun is shining, which can also help you avoid expensive time-of-use rates from your utility.
Plus, battery storage can help you keep the power on during Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) or rolling blackouts that arise due to wildfires and grid strain that are unfortunately becoming more and more commonplace throughout the state.
