Solar batteries store excess energy from your solar panels for later use. They help power your home when the sun isn’t shining, like at night or during cloudy weather. They’re just big batteries that are designed to work with solar.

How do solar batteries work?
Solar batteries charge when your panels produce extra energy. This stored energy is used when your panels aren’t generating enough electricity, reducing your reliance on the grid.

What’s the difference between AC-coupled and DC-coupled batteries?
AC-coupled batteries store energy that’s already been through an inverter, ideal for existing solar setups. DC-coupled batteries like Powerwall 3 connect before the inverter, making them more efficient for new installations.
If you’re interested in learning about types of solar batteries, you might want to check out the following article titled, AC-coupled Battery vs. DC-coupled Solar Batteries.
What affects battery degradation?
Battery degradation depends on factors like temperature, usage patterns, and depth of discharge. High-quality batteries degrade more slowly, maintaining capacity for many years.

How do I monitor my battery’s performance?
Consumption monitoring tools track your energy use in real time, helping you optimise when to use stored energy and maximise savings. Every solar battery comes with an app or software to track and program your battery’s performance.

How long do solar batteries last?
Most solar batteries last 10-15 years, depending on their quality and how they are used. Warranties often cover performance and degradation over this period.
