The technology for battery storage is continually evolving and most associate battery storage with storing energy produced from solar panels. However, that is not the only way to benefit from battery storage and this short blog post outlines three ways in which battery storage can be leveraged.
1) Storing low peak energy
With energy prices rising, taking advantage of any reduction in the tariff price is very tempting. With battery storage, you don’t need solar or a car charger, you can just use the battery for extracting the energy during off-peak times. You can then utilise the stored energy whenever you like, including during peak times. With some peak rates three times that of off-peak rates, the savings could be significant.
2) Using battery storage with a car charger
With the increase in electric car usage, more and more of us are exploring electric car charger installation for the home or for business premises. Using battery storage means you can store off-peak energy and use it to charge the car during peak rate times.
3) Using battery storage with solar panels
If you have ever thought about getting solar panels installed, battery storage can be utilised to store the energy from the solar panels, which can then be used for charging your electric car or contributing towards your household energy usage.
