Storing Solar Power at Home: How Solar Batteries Work

If you already have solar panels, you’re enjoying the benefits of producing clean, renewable energy. But by adding a solar battery, you can store that energy for use anytime — giving you greater control over your power and reducing reliance on the grid.

As Melbourne’s trusted VEU-accredited solar and battery installation specialists, Climate Green helps households upgrade to energy-smart solutions with ease. Here’s how the process works.

1. Capturing the Sun’s Energy

Your rooftop solar panels soak up sunlight and turn it into direct current (DC) electricity — the raw energy your panels naturally produce.

2. Making the Power Usable

A solar inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is what your home appliances use. Any excess power can be sent straight to your solar battery for storage.

3. Charging Your Solar Battery

Your solar battery stores unused energy during the day, working like a giant rechargeable battery pack. Instead of exporting it back to the grid for a small credit, you keep it for your own use.

4. Powering Your Home When You Need It

At night or during cloudy days, your stored energy is automatically used to power your home — reducing or even eliminating your need to buy electricity from the grid.

The Benefits of Adding a Solar Battery

Lower Power Bills: Use more of your own energy and pay less to your retailer.
Energy Independence: Reduce reliance on the grid.
Blackout Protection: Keep the lights on with backup power (on compatible systems).
Better Sustainability: Maximise the clean energy your solar panels generate.
