4 Benefits of Battey Storage for Your Home

/in /by

 

Power outages have become more frequent, thanks to an aging electric grid and increases in extreme weather. Power outages can make our homes dark and uncomfortable and cause huge disruptions to our daily life.

 

As a result, many homeowners are seeking solar systems with batteries to keep the lights on. Here are four benefits that batteries can support to help you determine if battery storage may be a wise investment for you.

 

Gain greater energy security

Suppose you live in an area where the grid is a bit unstable, or you want to provide a greater level of certainty for your home’s power. In that case, a battery system might be capable of powering critical parts of your home for a short period of time, even if the grid goes down. And Australia is prone to major fires, floods, and storms. Generating your own electricity could mean less exposure to price hikes and outages caused by natural disasters.

You can find your energy storage solution at ZRGP, including batteries, inverters, integrated energy storage systems, etc.

 

Get more value from your solar panels

With battery storage, you can power your home from the excess electricity that solar panels produce. This way there is no need to draw on energy supplied from the grid when production falls short from your panels. You just use the power stored in your solar batteries.

 

Reduce your electricity bills

One of the best ways to virtually eliminate your electric bills is by installing a solar panel system. If you live in an area with time-of-use rates, the cost of electricity varies throughout the day.

The utility company charges higher prices when power demand is high to encourage residents to curtail use. Having a solar battery allows you to save even more on your utility bills during these times. When electricity rates are highest, you can either use power from your solar panels or batteries, saving money.

 

Gain greater energy independence

As energy prices rise and concerns about decarbonization mount, many families want to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and electric companies.

Although solar panels provide greater energy independence, they don’t generate electricity around the clock. Having battery storage solves this challenge and makes solar energy available 24/7. It can increase your energy independence and renewable energy use while still allowing you to enjoy reliable power.

ZRGP advanced lithium-ion batteries use cutting-edge technology to provide standby power with or without solar panels. They provide electricity during blackouts, at night, or when utility rates are highest, for true energy independence. Battery storage can be installed with new or existing solar systems to help you get the most value from your solar investment.

3 FAQs About Home Battery Storage

ZRGP energy storage system can reduce your fuel bills and carbon emissions, especially if you already have home solar panels. Residential Energy Storage Systems offer considerable energy and cost-saving benefits such as solar battery storage， peak shifting， grid services， and battery storage backup.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about energy storage.

 

 1、How do batteries differ?

There are four main types of batteries namely lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow, and saltwater. Lithium-ion batteries are generally the most suitable for homeowners, as they’re lightweight, compact, and typically have a longer shelf life than other battery technologies. They also have a higher depth of discharge, meaning you can tap into more of your battery’s capacity.

All of ZRGP’s BESS, modules use lithium iron phosphate to ensure the safest, most efficient, and cleanest product to power your life.

 

 2、What are the benefits of energy storage systems?

Coupled with your home solar system, the ZRGP PowerBase Max-X energy storage system gives you greater control over your energy usage and bills and helps you get the most from your solar investment.

  • Reduce Electricity Bills

Adding an energy storage system to your home can effectively reduce the electricity bill. Installing an energy storage system will keep the total power consumption below a specified value. With on-site storage, you can charge your batteries whenever electricity rates are at their lowest (during off-peak hours or with your free solar energy).

  • Maximize Self-Consumption

The energy storage system can perfectly suit commercial and residential uses. During the daytime, the system can collect and store energy, which can be used at night whenever needed. Property owners are provided with the most efficient use of solar energy at home, including grid independence, increased self-consumption, and reduced electricity bills.

  • Emergency Power Backup

Don’t worry about the sudden power failure. Residential energy storage solutions integrated with solar panels can ensure energy backup. The backup power system is used to provide energy when the primary source fails for the 24/7 power supply.

 

 3、Can I Go off-grid?

Installing battery storage in your home does not necessarily mean that you can disconnect completely from the electrical grid. While it’s possible to go off the grid, the number of solar panels and the amount of battery storage you may need to invest in could mean it’s not financially viable.

Generally speaking, going off-grid is not practical for the average urban consumer because:

  • It might be difficult to store enough energy to reliably cover your use during cloudy days in winter;
  • You would not be able to sell any surplus energy back to the grid;
  • There are likely to be significant extra costs (e.g. special additional equipment like the installation of an air-conditioning system) for the battery.
