Choosing the right battery size

Choosing the appropriate battery size for your home depends on several factors, including:

• the size of your solar photovoltaic (PV) system
• your typical daily electricity usage
• your energy consumption habits
• whether you require backup power during outages
• budget and financial priorities
• any future plans to modify your energy system, such as replacing a gas water heater with an electric heat pump or charging an electric vehicle

Benefits of home solar battery systems

Use more of the energy you generate

Batteries enable you to make better use of the energy generated by your solar panels. By adding a battery to your system, you can store the electricity produced during the day and tap into it later when needed, such as in the evening or during cloudy periods.

Reduce your power bills

Storing the surplus electricity produced by your solar panels can boost your energy savings. By pairing your solar panels with a home battery system, you can potentially reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid.

Backup energy security

Solar systems connected to the grid are typically programmed to shut down during power outages, regardless of whether they have a battery. This is done to protect workers repairing nearby power lines. However, you can still use your solar PV system during an outage if you have batteries specifically designed for backup power. Some batteries include this feature, while others offer it as an optional upgrade at an extra cost.

Backup systems are designed to safely disconnect your home from the grid and supply stored energy during a blackout. There are two main types of backup protection:

• Whole-of-home backup batteries, which power everything in the house during a blackout but will drain quicker.
• Essential load backup, which prioritises powering the essentials such as lighting and fridges and helps the supply last longer.

If you want to include backup power in your solar battery system, be sure to discuss your needs with Adelaide First Choice Solar so they can design an appropriate system.

Battery capacity

Battery capacity refers to the amount of energy a battery can store, which influences how long it can supply power to your home during the night or an outage. If backup power is a priority, you may need a battery with a higher capacity.

Power output

The power rating of a battery is crucial for understanding how many appliances it can run simultaneously. The peak power output refers to the highest amount of power a battery can deliver to your home for a brief period. The maximum continuous power output indicates the power the battery can provide over a longer, sustained time.

It’s important to consider whether you need to power large appliances or use the battery during an outage. Talk to us at Adelaide First Choice Solar to determine which option best fits your needs.

Battery Warranty

Warranties for battery energy storage systems can vary from 5 to 15 years or longer. It’s important to evaluate the warranty alongside the battery’s projected lifespan.

Charge and discharge cycles

The charge/discharge cycle refers to the number of times a battery can be charged and discharged before its capacity begins to degrade. Most battery energy storage systems are designed to last between 4,000 and 6,000 cycles, which translates to roughly one cycle per day for 10 to 16 years.

Efficiency

Battery efficiency measures the amount of energy lost during the charge and discharge process. Batteries with higher efficiency experience less energy loss and provide better long-term performance. For lithium-ion batteries, it’s recommended to choose models with efficiency ratings of 90% or higher to ensure optimal energy usage.
