Batteries add value to your Solar PV system. If your solar panels generate enough energy, batteries can be charged at no cost and used during non-solar hours (evening, night, cloudy days). Some batteries provide backup power during grid failures, ensuring essential loads work during blackouts. Adding the right battery solution can make you almost or completely grid-independent, saving money and benefiting the environment.
