No Power? No Problem! The Perks Of Installing A Battery & Backup System With Your PV Setup
With over 3,000 hours of sunshine in Malta, we have long been aware of the advantages of installing photovoltaic (PV) systems. We are fortunate to recognise that investing in a PV system offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution to our energy needs.
The introduction of new technologies, such as energy storage systems (commonly referred to as batteries) and backup systems uncovers new possibilities for homeowners and business owners alike.
What is a backup system and how does it work?
Solar panels capture energy from the sun and convert it into usable, renewable energy for your premises. When installed alone, the electricity generated by the system is used by the home or is sold to the grid. When installed alongside a battery system, the extra units generated are stored for use during periods of low generation, such as at night. This allows the homeowner to maximise the use of the solar energy generated, reducing the units of electricity purchased from the grid and thus lowering electricity bills.
A backup system can only be installed when a battery is present. In the case of a power cut, this system will detect the outage in the power supply from the grid, and switch to backup mode, wherein essential equipment on the premises will be powered by the energy stored within the battery.
As we all experienced throughout these past summer months, power outages can disrupt daily life – resulting in sleepless nights, spoiled food, inability to work from home, and a lack of entertainment. A backup system ensures that your lights stay on, your appliances keep running, and your home remains comfortable even in the event of a blackout.
