Changing your energy system to something completely new can be challenging. Let's look at the main advantages and disadvantages of using solar battery storage system.
Advantage.
Invest in your future and help reduce energy bills.
You can do the minimal maintenance you need throughout your life.
Environment-friendly power option.
It may be difficult to operate in extremely hot or cold conditions.
Disadvantage.
Solar cells need a lot of space.
Solar cells are heavy, so your storage site needs to be able to cope with that.
High upfront costs.
Standby energy reserve.
Price will be an important consideration when choosing which solar cell storage system is right for your home. Buying a system is an investment designed to pay you back over a few years through savings on energy bills.
In terms of your time, your solar cell storage system will need maintenance (albeit at a fairly low level) so that it can continue to work the way you want it to. This self-maintenance may not cost you money, but it will cost you very little in terms of time.
Solar energy has better green credentials than other traditional forms of household fuel, making it a sound environmental investment for the future. What's more, the batteries can be stored when the sun goes down, meaning you won't be without lights on nights when your solar panels won't work.
Considering the downsides, a solar cell storage system is a huge addition to your home, and you need to create space for one of them. Unit weights typically range from 50kg (equivalent to a bale of hay) to 200kg (equivalent to a gorilla!). . Of course, the weight of the solar cell charging system you ultimately choose will depend on the unit you choose that best meets your needs, the available space in your home, and your requirements for the equipment.
As we have shown, the cost of installing solar cell storage can be high, depending on the type you choose. To quantify this, you need to consider the energy bill savings over time to see how big a payback you'll have.
Do you need solar cells to power your solar panels?
No - you can use solar panels independently of solar cells (as in choosing not to store energy you don't use during the day).
If you do this, you will revert back to the national grid for your energy supply when your solar panels are not in use.
Where should I put my solar cells/Can I put my solar cells in my attic?
Where you can store your solar cells depends on the type of battery you choose, as some have safety reasons that dictate their location in or near your home.
For complete information, check the manufacturer's guide, and if in doubt, consult your professional installer who will be able to assess the best place to store it.
Can I store my solar cells outdoors?
Again, this depends on the type of battery you choose. If it is a water-charged battery type, you will need to store it in a well-ventilated area, not in your home, in a battery case, in your garage or protected shed.
What's the price of solar panels?
Solar panels range from 1,800 GB to more than 10,000 GB, depending on the number of solar panels you choose and the roof space available.
How long does it take to install solar cells?
The exact answer depends on how many batteries you need, the type of battery you choose, and whether you install them with solar photovoltaic panels or retrofit them into an existing system.
Some solar cells, such as those made by Varta, can be installed in as little as an hour.
