Battery storage systems or battery back-ups work by keeping energy produced by your solar panels for later use instead of sending it back to the grid. The higher your battery’s capacity, the more solar energy it can store.
If your solar panels are producing more electricity than you need, the excess energy goes towards charging the battery. Later, when your solar panels aren’t producing electricity, you can draw down the energy you stored earlier in your battery for day or night use. You’ll only send electricity back to the grid when your battery is fully charged, and you’ll only draw electricity from the grid when your battery is depleted.

Reasons Why You Should Consider Battery Back-Up For Your Home
Self-generation incentive program (SGIP).
This program offers cash rebates for installing energy storage technology at both residential and non-residential facilities.
Solar Panels stability
When the electricity goes out due to technical or weather conditions, solar panels with energy storage ensure you always have power at your property.
investment tax credit (ITC)
As a taxpayer, you are eligible for a 26% investment tax credit (ITC). However, keep in mind that the battery itself isn’t considered renewable energy, as it can also be charged by grid electricity.
EV Charging Impact
As a possible EV owner, it might be beneficial for you as Ev's increase electricity demand at peak times when you plug it in for a recharge.
What you should consider while choosing the best storage option
Capacity is the total amount of electricity a solar battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The power rating, measured in kilowatts (kW), is the amount of electricity a battery can deliver at one time.
A higher Depth of Discharge (DoD) means you can utilize more of your battery’s capacity before recharging. This increased capacity usage allows for greater energy storage efficiency, enabling you to draw more power from your battery when needed and potentially reducing the frequency of recharging cycles.
A higher round-trip efficiency means that less energy is lost during the storage and retrieval process, allowing you to get more economic value from your battery. This increased efficiency results in lower energy costs and maximizes the return on your investment in the battery system.
The typical lifespan of a solar battery ranges from 10 to 15 years. Your solar battery will come with a warranty that guarantees a specific number of cycles and/or years of useful life.
