About solar panel battery system
As energy prices continue to rise and power outages become more widespread, more homeowners are turning to solar to provide electricity for their homes and reduce their dependence on the power grid. However, the functionality of solar alone, can be limited at night or on cloudy days. Pairing solar with a battery storage system, allows the homeowner to store any excess energy generated on a sunny day and use it at night, when peak demand charges are high, or in the event of a power outage.
The Manly solar + battery storage system harnesses clean energy from the sun to provide you with backup power during utility power outages, while also helping to lower your electric bill.
How the solar panel battery system works
When sunlight hits the panel, known as a solar photovoltaic (PV) module, it is converted into an electrical current by silicon cells. This current is originally DC power, so an inverter then converts it to AC power, and then it’s ready to use in your home, office, or factory.
A PV system creates energy during the day and feeds any electricity that you don’t use onto the grid. Many homeowners can actually watch their meters running backwards! It’s called net metering (NEM).
When the sun is set, you pull power off of the grid instead, and the meter runs forward again. It is not uncommon to have a surplus of electricity produced by the end of the month. Your utility will often pay you for this surplus in credits, which you can then exchange for electricity from the grid in the future, instead of buying it at the retail price.

Solar Panels
Electricity is generated after the sunlight hits the solar panels and positively charges the silicon atoms contained within the panel cells.
The positively charged atoms travel in a Direct Current (DC) into the inverter.
Solar Inverters
The inverter has one main job – to convert the DC electricity received via the solar panels, into Alternating Current (AC).
It needs to make this conversion so the power can be used within your home in the same way power from the grid is used.
If there isn’t a battery storage system in place, the inverter also pushes any unused power back to the grid.
Solar Batteries
A solar power storage system usually contains one or more batteries and inverters.
The idea behind a battery storage system is to hold unused power so it can be used on days when consumption is higher.
Just like a car battery, a solar battery will remain full until the power is completely drained.
As more power is generated, the excess goes into the battery until it is full, then it’s drawn on, refilled and so on.
