ENERGY STORAGE
What is that?
The energy sector constantly faces new challenges. The answer to some of them is effective energy management and storage. Each part of a home solar power plant is important for the profitability of the investment. Therefore, it is worth knowing which battery will work most efficiently and will help you start saving quickly .
An energy storage device is, as the name suggests, a device for storing energy. However, questions often arise: how does energy storage work, is it worth having energy storage or is energy storage a good solution? In this article we will look for answers to these questions.
An energy storage facility offers a number of benefits to its user. What exactly do we gain by investing in this type of devices? As we mentioned earlier, by storing energy in our own warehouse, we do not have to give part of the excess production to energy plants. Let us remind you that it is 20% or 30% for owners of installations with a capacity of up to 10 kWp and above 10 kWp , respectively . In addition, the warehouse allows its owner to become energy independent. We have electricity even when it is not on the grid. Thanks to this, we are not afraid of power outages. There is electricity even when we do not have access to the network – for example in a summer house in the forest.
In a photovoltaic installation, the battery works cyclically. When there is a surplus of energy produced by the panels, it will gradually be charged, and when there is a need to use the electricity stored in it, it will be discharged. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that such a battery should be adapted to work at different temperatures and be charged at intervals of even several days. The properties of the device are also important. Its capacity should be matched to the power of the photovoltaic installation. If we install an ordinary battery, it will not last as long as specially selected equipment.
