The economics of residential solar: “Why battery storage is important”
With more homeowners considering the switch to solar, battery storage is becoming increasingly important. These systems provide significant backup power during outages, as well as significant savings benefits.
Let’s take a look at why storing batteries in your solar panel system makes sense for people using solar power at home. A growing trend in battery storage Major power companies also recognize the benefits of battery storage. Salt River Project (SRP), a large electric utility in Arizona, just said it will add two new battery storage systems to its grid This system can hold 300 MW together helping SRP manage peak energy usage periods and many clean energy sources have been used. SRP’s action reflects broader changes in the energy industry. As the government and energy companies invest in large-scale battery and storage projects, it is becoming clear that energy storage will play an important role in our electricity grid.
Why battery energy storage is important: “Get the most out of your solar system”
Solar panels provide electricity when the sun comes up, but adding a battery allows you to tap into that energy when you need it – at night when energy cost rise the battery can significantly reduce your energy bills and increase your return on solar energy input. If you have a battery system, you don’t have to rely on your power company as much. When the lights go out in your neighborhood, you can still run your essentials, giving you some peace and relaxation.
Economics of solar + storage
- Adding battery storage to your solar system increases upfront costs, but has long-term economic benefits
- When rates go up, using stored energy can significantly reduce your electricity bill. – Better return on investment
- Gradient of future price increases: As electricity prices increase, energy storage becomes more valuable.
