What If Solar Panels Without Battery Storage
Release time:
2024-06-17
If you have your own battery storage, you likely won't transfer much energy to or from the grid. You store your own energy and pull from that, and the grid serves as a backup to the backup.
With all the buzz about energy storage, you might be wondering if a solar battery system is essential for home solar systems. Can you even use solar panels on your home without battery storage?
The short answer is, yes you can. Despite the inconvenience of an incomplete system, it still serves a purpose.
If battery storage isn' t in the cards for now. You can still use your solar panels to power your home without battery storage. Here’s how it works:
Early morning and evening are times with lower solar production, but higher energy needs. You're waking up and getting ready for the day, or making dinner and doing homework with the kids. That's when you'll need a lot of power, but also when solar panel production is just getting momentum or tapering off.
During these times (and especially at night) solar owners without battery storage draw power from the grid, which acts as a giant energy backup system.
But during the day your solar panels are likely providing more than enough energy to power your home. The excess energy is sent into the grid to power your local community (if possible).
Simply put, when the sun's shining, you use your own solar power and send excess power to the grid; when it's not, you draw from the grid.
This kind of setup is called a grid-tied system. You essentially use the local utility grid as a battery to "store energy" without a solar battery system in your home.
If you have your own battery storage, you likely won't transfer much energy to or from the grid. You store your own energy and pull from that, and the grid serves as a backup to the backup.
