Store Your Solar Power and Take Control of Your Energy Use
Your solar panels work hard all day—but without a home battery storage system, much of that excess energy is sent back to the grid for only a small return.
With a solar battery system from Dave Dunbar Electrical and Solar, you can store the energy you generate during the day and use it when you need it most—at night, during peak electricity times, or even in a blackout. It’s a smarter, more reliable way to get the full value from your solar power while reducing your dependence on the grid.
Why Install a Solar Battery System?
- Use Solar Power Day and Night – Store your excess solar energy and power your home after dark, reducing the need to buy electricity from the grid.
- Cut Peak-Time Costs – Avoid paying high evening electricity rates by using your stored energy. Perfect for homes on time-of-use tariffs or with high night-time usage.
- Stay Powered During Outages – Keep essentials like lights, fridges, internet, and medical equipment running during blackouts with dependable battery backup.
- Maximise Your Solar Investment – Get more value from your solar system by using your own energy on your terms instead of relying on low feed-in tariffs.
How a Solar Battery Works – Smart, Reliable, and Built for Savings
A solar battery storage system lets you capture the extra energy your solar panels generate during the day—so you can use it when you need it most. Whether it’s at night, during peak electricity
When electricity prices rise—or during a sudden power outage—a solar battery system gives you greater control over how and when you use your energy.
Here’s how it works throughout the day:
- Daytime – Your solar panels often generate more power than your home needs. Instead of sending that excess back to the grid for a small feed-in return, your battery stores it for later use.
- Evening & Night – When the sun goes down, your battery supplies clean, stored solar energy—so you’re not paying for expensive grid power.
- Peak Usage Times – Power prices usually spike in the late afternoon and evening. With battery storage, you can avoid premium rates by using your own stored energy.
- Blackouts & Grid Failures – With backup capability, a solar battery can keep your essential appliances—like lighting, fridges, Wi-Fi, and security systems—running during outages.
