Battery storage and off grid

Because PV is a cheaper option and batteries tend to be much more expensive, we recommend oversizing your PV. This way, even on an overcast day your system should produce enough power to change the batteries and power your home or business.

Battery storage is used to store the energy that your solar panels collect throughout the day, so you can use it at a later point.

Using battery storage can reduce your energy consumption from the mains grid by 80% depending on your type of home, the size, and the area in which you live. It’s an economic choice as it saves cash on your electricity bill and it’s an environmentally friendly choice as you’re reducing your contribution to the coal industry and your carbon footprint.

Battery storage will definitely reduce your electricity bill, though by how much depends from house to house.

There are many things to consider when choosing which sized battery to go with. Consider details like: how much you’re willing to spend, how many days you’d like to go without needing a recharge, if you have appliances that need to be charged for days at a time, and the size of your panels.
