Solar energy has been an excellent alternative source of energy if you are looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint or wish to purchase power cost-effectively. Businesses are considering renewable sources of energy, it has become imperative to find ways to store this energy to be able to use it on-demand. It is critical when one considers the disparity between production and consumption of energy in a power system.
Grid energy is the preferred source of energy at the site (solar/grid electricity)
The battery gets charged using grid power
Load is powered from the grid
Power for the load is supplied by the battery
When the ESS is no longer able to provide energy, power shifts to the diesel Genset
The controller optimizes the diesel Genset for optimal efficiency and lowers fuel consumption
Control of operations is restored to grid online mode once grid power resume
One of the most exciting developments on the solar front in recent years has been the introduction of low-cost storage batteries. It represents a big step forward in terms of achieving a power-neutral home and zero energy consumption from the grid. In most cases you will be better off storing your excess energy for your own use rather than feeding it back into the grid.
Solar Battery Storage works by storing any excess unused power generated by your solar panels. By storing this power for when you want to use it, you will no longer be buying ‘back’ the excess power you sent to the grid when your solar was generating. Lower bills and less reliance on the grid. It’s that simple.
