Batteries For Solar Power
Make the Most of Your Solar Power – Even When the Sun Isn’t Shining
Photovoltaics are a great step toward savings and sustainability. But with a battery energy storage system (BESS), you multiply its benefits. Stored electricity can be used when consumption is highest or when grid power is most expensive.
BESS allows you to maximize the use of your generated power and significantly increase your PV savings.
- Faster return on investment thanks to full use of peak summer production
- Replacing expensive grid energy even outside sunny hours
- Higher energy independence and reduced reliance on external suppliers
- During spring and summer, electricity market prices during sunshine hours drop nearly to zero – any surplus is sent to the grid for free
- In extreme cases, large surpluses may cause your PV system to be curtailed by the grid operator
- BESS solves this by storing the surplus for evening hours, when electricity is expensive
- This day-night price difference makes BESS economically viable within just a few years
