A guide to solar battery storage

How does the battery work?

Solar battery storage works by capturing the excess energy produced by your solar panels during the day and storing it in a battery. This stored energy can be used at night or during power outages, reducing your reliance on the grid and increasing your energy independence.

What type of batteries do you install?

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular type of solar battery storage due to their lightweight, rechargeable, and long-lasting nature.

Gardel Electrical & Solar offers a range of popular solar battery storage options, including the Sungrow SBR Modular battery range, SolarEdge home battery, and BYD B-Box premium.

• The Sungrow SBR Modular battery range is highly flexible and scalable, with a modular design that allows for the addition or removal of battery modules as needed to meet your changing energy needs.

• The SolarEdge home battery is a high-performance battery solution designed to work seamlessly with SolarEdge inverters, with a sleek and compact design suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

• Finally, the BYD B-Box premium is a high-end battery solution designed for exceptional performance and reliability, with a modular design and a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.

What are the benefits of solar battery storage?

• Energy independence: if there is a power outage, a home battery can provide instant backup power

• Lower energy bills: you can still get a tariff for any excess energy your system generates and feeds back into the grid

• A reduced carbon footprint: by producing clean energy

• Increased property value: 77% of Australians think that solar panels and batteries add value to a property

Solar battery storage is an excellent option to increase your energy independence, reduce your energy bills, and reduce your carbon footprint.
