Loss of Power, No Worries?
Solar Battery Storage Can Keep Vital Appliances And
Lighting Running… Or Even Your Whole Home.
Solar power is one of the most energy-efficient sources available, and T&K Solar can make your system even more energy independent with a solar battery storage installation. T&K offers a wide range of batteries both for your home or business. We work with top brands like Enphase, Sol-Ark, Storz, Generac, and Kohler.
Solar Batteries Store Energy So You Have It When You Need It Most.
Our team can help you choose the right battery configuration for your system that can store extra solar energy so that you can use the energy when you need it. Solar batteries can keep your power up even when the power grid or the sun is down.
When you need solar battery storage, T&K is here for you. As a family-owned company, staffed with certified electricians specialized in solar, we take pride in offering high-quality services and affordable equipment for your home or business. Our goal is to build the right system for your needs, everytime.
A T&K solar system and plan will help you use less energy from the utility or none at all depending on the size of your array. New solar battery technology is dramatically expanding the effectiveness of typical solar energy systems by giving homeowners and business owners the flexibility to create and use power how they want and when they need it.
Using a Solar Battery Bank
A solar battery bank is a great way to store energy that’s produced by your system rather than sending it back to the grid. This allows you to use it later, when you need it. When your unit is not producing energy, like at night or on cloudy days, you can tap into those energy reserves in your solar battery bank. It’s really a simple concept, the more solar energy stored, the less energy you’ll have to purchase from your utility company. In recent years, however, people have started to realize the importance of solar batteries as backup power during a prolonged power outage. With growing instances of extreme weather exposing the vulnerabilities of the grid system, backup batteries and solar panels are becoming a mainstay for those in outage-prone areas like California and the Southwest.
Selecting A Battery System
Energy storage has long been one of the most prevalent challenges of solar power, but thanks to advances in solar panel battery bank technology, there are plenty of batteries on the market today that can allow homeowners to take full advantage of their solar production. Here are some of the best, your T&K solar specialists can help you choose the right battery system for your needs:
- Enphase Encharge
- Generac PWRcell
- STORZ Power
- Humless Reliable Power Systems
There are a number of different criteria and comparison points to make when deciding your battery options. Here are a few of the most common criteria:
- A High power rating: If you want to power more of your home at once.
- High instantaneous power rating: If you want to be able to power more energy-intensive appliances.
- Higher usable capacity: If you want to run your home with your solar battery for a longer amount of time.
- Higher round trip efficiency: If you want to get the most out of every kilowatt-hour of electricity you put into your battery.
- Lithium-ion nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) solar batteries: If you are space constrained and want to get the most amount of storage out of the least amount of space.
- Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries: If you want a battery with the longest lifetime that you can cycle the most amount of times.
- LFP solar batteries: If you want a battery with the absolute highest safety rating possible
What is the best solar battery?
That is based on your personal needs. The best battery for you will depend on a number of factors, from the size of your home to the characteristics of your solar installation, and all the way to what you even want to get from an energy storage system. If you have a large home with lots of appliances, you’ll want to look for a high-capacity battery that can keep pumping out electricity for hours on end. If you’re price-conscious and care more about optimizing your solar energy system, a smaller battery with great battery integration may be the best choice. The key is to properly build a system that works to fit your individual needs. T&K specialists are trained to build you the right system that will last for years to come.
