Is A Solar Battery Right For You?

Solar battery storage systems are the latest technology to hit the solar market. With different types of solar batteries to choose from it can be hard to make a decision. However, is battery storage the right choice for you?

This decision should be made based on the electricity consumption of your household and whether solar battery storage will help you save. If you are thinking about purchasing a solar battery for the sake of it then it might not be the best fit for you.

What do Brisbane solar battery storage systems do?

Solar battery storage systems work with your solar power system to convert excess electricity into stored energy instead of feeding it back into the grid. This allows your home to use this excess electricity when your solar power system isn’t generating electricity for your household. This enables you to save money during peak times in the morning and afternoon when electricity is in high demand.

Solar battery storage systems are easily installed both inside and outside the home and can be connected to new and existing solar power systems. This makes them both functional and versatile with some Brisbane solar battery storage systems including modular units, which you can add or subtract from depending on your needs.

How does solar battery storage benefit me?

When it comes to saving money on your electricity bill Brisbane solar battery storage systems can be a better option at saving than feed in tariffs. This is only the case for those who generate more electricity during times when their solar power system isn’t generating electricity for their home.

You will receive more value for money from storing your electricity and using it later than relying on feed in tariffs. This is because your electricity company pays you less per kilowatt in feed in tariffs than they are worth when you generate and use the electricity yourself.

Is solar battery storage right for my home?

Solar battery storage systems are not for everyone and can cost you more than save you money. This is why you need to consider if it is right for you. A few ways you can do this is to determine the price of the system, your consumption and whether it will help you save.

If your solar battery storage system will cost you or make you break even on your investment then it is not right for you. This is because your consumption is less than those that would benefit from solar battery storage or you use most of your electricity generated by your solar power system while it is working making your battery storage system useless.

For those that have high consumption rates early in the morning or late at night solar battery storage can be a great money saver. It allows your excess electricity to be stored instead of feeding back into the grid, which gives you more value for money for your generated electricity. This, in turn, saves you more on your electricity and allows you to use it when you need it most.

Buying Your First Solar Power System

Solar power is a great option to save money on your electricity bill. Many Australians have made the switch to solar and it continues to grow with more advanced technologies being implemented every year to help you save.

Making the decision to purchase a Brisbane solar power system should not be made lightly. There are multiple factors you need to consider before you make your purchase as this can have long term effects on your home and savings.

Measure your electricity usage before you buy

Knowing what you and your family consume in electricity is an important step before you purchase a solar power system. This will allow you to make a better decision about which sized system you need and whether it would be beneficial to add a solar battery storage system as well.

You can ask your electricity provider to provide a detailed report of your consumption or you can ask your electrician to install a monitor. Once you have the statistics you will have a better idea about when your consumption peaks and what times you don’t use as much electricity.

Calculate the number of solar panels you need

After you have the information you need the next step is to determine the number of solar panels you need. You can have too little or too many when it comes to solar panels but some things to consider besides your energy usage are the weather and environment.

If you live in a very shaded area or receive lots of cloud cover then you may need more solar panels to meet the demands of your home. If you receive sun most of the time and have no trees in sight then you won’t need as many on your rooftop.

A reputable solar provider should be able to take the information you provide them about your consumption and your home’s environment to help you make the best choice. This will ensure you save on your electricity bill as much as possible and reduce the time in which your system will pay for itself.

Understand your ‘rebates’ and ‘feed in tariffs’

Rebates and feed in tariffs are both beneficial to you when you purchase a solar system but it is important to not get them confused. Solar rebates are claimed through the Government to help pay for your solar power system so you save money on your original purchase.

Feed in tariffs are different from solar rebates as they are claimed through your electricity provider. You will receive a small amount of money per kilowatt that your solar power system feeds back into the electrical grid. This helps save money on your electricity bill where you can view the amount owed and the amount that has been credited to your account. There are almost no completely off grid systems where you will save 100%. If a solar company tells you this it is too good to be true and they may not be as reputable a provider as you might think.
