Once the installation of solar panels is decided, the next big dilemma immediately arises: "Should I include a battery to store the surplus energy?"
The answer depends almost exclusively on your electricity consumption habits:
1. Predominantly daytime consumption
If you work from home or group your highest power-consuming tasks (washing machine, dishwasher, air conditioning) during the morning and midday, you will directly utilize the generated light. In this scenario, allocating extra investment to a lithium battery system may not be as necessary, since your afternoon surpluses will be low and it will take more years to amortize the cost of said battery.
2. Predominantly nighttime consumption
Does the house remain empty all day due to work? If so, much of the energy generated by the panels will be injected into the grid, and at night you will have to buy electricity. Here, a lithium iron phosphate battery makes perfect sense. The system will store all the daytime production so that, when the sun sets, your home runs 100% free on accumulated energy.
In any true, our team will study your consumption curve to advise you with complete honesty about the storage capacity you need.
