In this article on solar panel systems with batteries, we’ll explore what they are, how they work, what they include, their advantages and how you can take the first step and implement this solution in your company.
We are currently entering a more developed and mature phase, where the way we produce and consume energy is being redefined. As some traditional sources that have a harmful impact on planet earth are already reaching their limits, the demand for solar energy continues to grow. However, there is a need to enhance the power of solar panels and avoid wasting the excess solar energy produced by companies. The solution is to integrate batteries into photovoltaic panel installations. In this way, we can leverage the advantages of this renewable source, not just in terms of monthly energy bill savings, but also in terms of contributing to the energy transition.
How does a solar panel system with batteries work?
The integration of batteries in solar installations represents a significant advance in the way a company manages its solar energy production and consumption. These devices make it possible to store the surplus energy produced by the photovoltaic panels during the day for later consumption. During the day, solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which can be used immediately or stored in batteries. Afterward, the stored energy can be consumed according to the company’s needs, usually during nighttime periods or when the grid energy prices are higher.
This integration provides more flexibility in energy consumption, greater autonomy and also results in greater savings.
What are the Advantages of Solar Panels with Batteries?
One of the main advantages of this solution lies in the way the energy is managed. In addition, there are advantages for companies in integrating batteries into their photovoltaic plants, including:
- Savings on electricity bills: By storing and utilising surplus solar energy, there is a significant reduction in electricity costs, essentially at times when tariffs are higher.
- Increased self-sufficiency: With the ability to store solar energy, companies become more self-sufficient, thus reducing the need to rely on the electricity grid and are less exposed to unpredictable market fluctuations, such as the effects of the war in Ukraine.
- Low maintenance: Batteries require little maintenance, making them a very reliable energy solution.
- Reduced CO2 emissions: By using solar energy, a clean and renewable energy source produced by photovoltaic panels and stored together with solar batteries, you can increase your contribution to the energy transition by further reducing CO2 emissions.
What does a battery storage system include?
A solar photovoltaic system with batteries contains solar panels and inverters, monitoring software and, of course, batteries adapted to the company’s consumption. Together, all this equipment captures, converts, stores and distributes solar energy in a sustainable and efficient way.
With Greenvolt Next you can guarantee the implementation of this entire system tailored to your company’s needs. From conception and design to implementation and subsequent maintenance. In addition, with this integration you also have the option of including intelligent, automatic or manual energy charging and discharging management. This means that you can manually choose and control the time at which your battery model stores and then discharges energy, you can also schedule this flow or you can let the software combine various variables, such as your company’s consumption, the time of day, the price of tariffs and the weather, and intelligently manage this whole process efficiently and without having to worry.
Is it worth implementing Solar Panels with Batteries?
If you are considering a change in how your company manages energy, investing in products like solar panels for production and batteries for storage simultaneously will lead to a greater reduction in energy costs. It will also be an important step toward achieving your company’s ESG goals and demonstrating a commitment to environmental preservation. Companies that engage in sustainable actions will have the opportunity to position themselves as leaders in corporate responsibility.
However, if investing in this type of equipment is something that can compromise progress and decision-making, know that with Greenvolt Next, you can implement a project in your company without the need for any type of investment. Greenvolt Next has financial options for all decentralised energy solutions, instead of companies having to allocate their own operating funds to this project.
This way, you ensure not only the entire planning and project design tailored to your company’s needs but also the investment, thereby ensuring the effective implementation of these measures.
