BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS
Battery Storage Systems (BESS) have become and essential part of maximizing the potential of PV solar systems.
Battery Storage Systems
As solar energy becomes increasingly popular, one essential component that maximizes its potential is the battery storage system (BESS). For those who rely on photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, battery storage offers a way to store excess solar energy produced during the day for use when the sun isn’t shining, such as at night or during cloudy periods. This capability significantly enhances energy independence, reliability, and cost savings.
How Does a Battery Storage System Work?
Battery storage systems store the excess energy generated by your PV solar panels in a rechargeable battery. The stored energy can be drawn when your panels aren’t producing enough electricity—such as at night or during cloudy weather. This allows for continuous, uninterrupted power supply without needing to pull energy from the grid.
Most modern systems come with an intelligent energy management system (EMS) that optimizes when and how energy is stored and used. The system will prioritize your energy needs, ensuring that essential appliances continue running in case of power shortages or grid outages.
