At i-Protech, we routinely supply and install battery storage systems for homeowners and businesses, either with or without solar panels.
We offer a range of systems, including GivEnergy, Tesla, Myenergi, Solis, Sunsynk, Purdrive and Duracell, all of which offer different benefits, depending on your specific situation and energy needs.
Why use solar battery storage?
Here’s why you should consider installing a storage battery into your property:
Energy Backup
A battery storage system can provide backup power in the event of a grid outage.
With the recent increase in winter storms – many of which can be devastating – this is especially valuable in areas prone to power outages, allowing you to maintain essential appliances and devices.
Load Shifting
Battery storage allow you to store excess electricity during periods of low demand or when electricity prices are low.
You can then use that stored energy during times of peak demand when electricity prices are higher, leading to significant cost savings on your electricity bills.
Peak Demand Reduction
Some utility companies charge higher rates during peak demand hours.
By using stored energy from your battery during these peak periods, you can avoid these higher rates and reduce your overall energy costs.
Grid Support
Battery systems can provide grid support by storing excess electricity generated during periods of low demand and feeding it back into the grid during peak demand times.
This can help stabilise the grid and reduce strain on power plants during high-demand periods.
Environmental Benefits
Using a battery to store electricity during off-peak hours can reduce the need for utilities to rely on fossil fuel power plants during peak demand, thus lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy Independence
You can reduce your dependence on the grid – particularly appealing if you are in an area with unreliable power supply – by installing a back-up system along with the SolarPV and/or battery system.
This facility can be retrofitted to most existing systems.
Time-of-Use (TOU) Tariff Optimization
In regions with time-of-use electricity pricing, a battery can help you optimize your energy consumption by storing electricity when rates are low and using it when rates are high.
Promotion of Renewable Energy Integration
Using a battery without solar can still contribute to the integration of renewable energy sources by allowing you to store excess electricity from renewable sources (e.g., wind or grid-generated solar) and use it when needed.
Resale Value
Installing a battery system may increase the re-sale value of your property, as potential buyers may see value in having an alternative power source and reduced energy costs.
