Introducing the Best-Valued Solar Battery from Sofar Solar

21.01.2021 News
Many Solar PV system residential customers have been constantly looking for ways to optimize the performance of their solar system. One of the most effective ways is to invest in your solar system with a home energy storage battery. Due to the rapid improvements in lithium technology, modern lithium-ion battery systems have been quickly superseded traditional lead-acid batteries. The new generation of solar energy storage is more cost-effective, more affordable, streamlined, and modern-looking.

Have you heard of CATL?

Contemporary Amperex Technology CO., Limited (CATL) is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-ion batteries are used in electric vehicles, therefore it is constantly evolving and improving year by year. The best example of lithium-ion batteries is the popular Tesla Powerwall. 

The CATL lithium-ion battery technology has created a combined system with renewable energy power generation technology. Through the high-level consistency of cells and the powerful computing of BMS, CATL enables the power generation to restore a stable power grid and optimize the power output curve.

How do solar batteries work?

The whole process starts with the solar panels which harvest the sun’s rays. Once the sunlight hits the rooftop solar panels, it converts energy from the visible light into an electric current.

Without a solar battery, the power generated from a solar system will need to be consumed straight away or it will be exported to the grid and the solar system cannot contribute to household consumption during the night time period. 

By installing a solar battery, the solar systems will still prioritise the daytime needs of your household or business, but any excess energy will be diverted to the battery instead of being shipped off to the grid. Although it will result in lesser bill credits, solar batteries will be generating electric current during the night, or when needed, saving you more than exporting the energy to the grid. 

GTX5000 is available now at our QLD, NSW and WA warehouse. Ask us for more details.
