How Solar Batteries Will Shape The Solar Industry
With solar energy exports being reduced by over 75%, it no longer makes a lot of economical sense to keep directing solar-produced energy back to the electric grid. Storing solar produced energy for later use when there’s high demand for energy (more costly) works to your benefit will save you more in the long run.
More energy savings with smart battery technology
Be more reliant on your own solar produced energy
Have a source of backup power in case of power outages
