How Solar Panels and Battery Storage Systems Work
Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits the panels, it excites electrons, generating an electric current that can be used to power your home. The panels are connected to an inverter, which turns the DC electricity from the solar panels into usable AC electricity for your property.
Solar battery storage systems store excess energy generated during daylight hours. This stored energy can be used during the night or on cloudy days when the solar system can not harness the full UV light for energy conversion. The battery can be modular for future expansion and more storage. Ensuring a continuous power supply and maximising the use of your solar-generated electricity.
