Solar Batteries Adelaide
With the rising costs of energy charges, many Adelaide people are turning to Solar Batteries for storage of power and supply of power as needed. This allows them to reduce power bills and gain independence from the energy providers.
Adelaide Solarsafe’s StorEdgeTM energy storage system (Solar Batteries) is perfect for this purpose. When combined with SolarEdge and cloud-based monitoring you will have the latest in home energy management and storage systems.
SolarEdge – Solar Battery Management
SolarEdge is a solar battery storage management system that allows each panel to operate more independently.
Most solar installations string each panel together in a series. In this configuration, if one solar panel power output is reduced, for example by shade, then all the panels in the solar array are impacted.
This will dramatically reduce the overall solar system’s performance.
SolarEdge manages this minimise that the entire solar system’s power generation shaded panel that is shaded is affected. Every other panel continues to produce the maximum solar PV that it can.
This means more solar energy saved and potentially stored in your solar batteries for use later!
StorEdge – Solar Battery Storage
SolarEdge is a solar battery storage management system that allows each panel to operate more independently.
Most solar installations string each panel together in a series. In this configuration, if one solar panel power output is reduced, for example- by shade, then all the panels in the solar array are impacted.
This will dramatically reduce the overall solar system’s performance.
SolarEdge manages this reduction so that the entire solar system’s power generation is not affected by a single shaded panel but only the shaded panel is. Every other panel continues to produce the maximum solar PV that it can.
This means more solar energy saved and potentially stored in your solar batteries for use later!
StorEdge – Solar Battery Storage
StorEdge is a battery storage management system for your solar Photovoltaic system that automatically manages power exchange between:
- Solar generation arrays
- Household power requirements
- Outbound power contribution to the mains grid
For example:
When the sun starts shining
In the morning as the sun rises, your solar panels become active and start to take over the power production of the household.
If the solar power being generated exceeds your home’s power consumption, the solar battery will be charged.
Solar battery management
Once the solar battery is charged, excess power is exported to the mains grid.
If at any time during the day the household power demands exceed the solar power being generated, your solar battery will be automatically connected to supplement that power and minimise the use of grid power. When the house power usage drops or the solar-generated power increases, the system will ensure:
- home mains is supplied directly from the solar panels and
- the solar battery returns to charging.
When the sun sets
Once the sun goes down and solar power generation stops, the solar battery takes over supplying power to the household.
Should the solar battery be drained completely, the mains grid supplies the households power demand.
Back-Up Power Also!
It is also possible for StorEdge to be a backup power supply for the house if there is an interruption to the grid supply. This uses a combination of PV power and your solar battery. During periods when the solar panels are not generating – eg night-time – the battery takes over providing power to your home.
SolarEdge Solar Power Monitoring
The SolarEdge monitoring platform allows you to see real-time data in relation to the household’s solar power production, overall power consumption, and solar battery storage status.
Key Considerations for Solar Batteries Adelaide
While this sounds great, it doesn’t suit all homes in Adelaide. Consider these four situations, one of which is where you are at…
- You already have a Solar System and have a high solar feed-in tariff (44c/kWh or higher).
If this is you, then you will continue to receive this generous offer until 30 June 2028 unless you move house.
This situation rewards you for exporting your solar power to the grid and not storing it in a battery so it is more financially beneficial for you to stay as you are and not install a battery storage system. - You already have a Solar System and have a base feed-in tariff of 16c/kWh.
This offer ended on 30 September 2016, but you might have been lucky enough that your retailer gave you a continuation or a similar special offer. Once this ends, (if it hasn’t already), then you will want to consider installing a battery storage system so that you gain the benefit of your solar productivity rather than selling it to the grid. - You already have a Solar System and have the current feed-in tariff (around 6-10c/kWh).
In this situation, installing Adelaide Solarsafe’s SolarEdge and StorEdge systems is a great idea.
You will see a reduction in your energy bill and reap the rewards. - You do not have a Solar System but are in the market for one.
The benefits from installing an Adelaide Solarsafe’s SolarEdge and StorEdge System are yours for the taking!
