Integrating Batteries With Existing Commercial Solar Panels

Solar energy has been able to transform energy requirements to a whole new level. Now, we do not have to worry about the adverse effects of the energy generation. However, there are certain requirements that we need to keep in mind during such installations.
 
It is especially true for commercial purposes where requirements are larger. So, in this article, we will try to look at the steps, which we need to keep in mind for the installation of certain aspects of such systems in our house.
 
Why add batteries to existing solar panels?
There are a number of reasons why we need to do battery installation for our solar panels. First of all, we need to conserve the excessive energy that is being produced through our panels. Additionally, this kind of energy storage can also help us in case of emergency scenarios.
 
As a next step, it can also help us in saving cost on our electricity bills, which can arise otherwise.
 
Also, we can use excessive energy during extensive electricity cuts. This kind of situation can give us energy independence in our everyday lives.
 
Accessing compatibility with existing systems
Before the installation of batteries for the commercial solar panels we need to ensure certain steps.
 

• Inverter type

First of all, we need to ensure that we have the proper inverter type for our usage. It is because some inverters can be used with the batteries. In some cases, some special kinds of inverters need to be upgraded before installation of the batteries.
 

• Battery type and size

Also, we need to ensure that the proper type of battery is being purchased for the installation. Then, it will help us in making our solar project model successful and beneficial.
 
 
Challenges to consider
There are a number of points, which we need to keep our mind for the installation of the energy storage system.
 

• Initial investment

First of all, is the initial cost of investment. We need to remember that what is the total amount that we need to invest in total. Then, we will be able to finance our commercial Solar Panel energy system properly.
 

• Space constraints

As an addition, we will also need to take care of the space requirements. So that we can calculate the additional space required for the solar project.
 

• System downtime

At last, we will also need to ensure the system downtime. It is necessary because it will affect our business. So, it is important to be prepared for the downtime period.
 
Apart from the above, there also needs to be some audit to get an idea of the energy needs of the business. We must also get some opinions from an expert regarding the battery type which we need to install. It will complement the changes which we may need to make to our existing system.
 
In addition to all these, there also needs to be testing of the system before initial use. This will ensure that everything is working as expected.
 
So, these are some of the points that we need to remember before the installation of the solar energy storage system. Such kind of installations will help us in the long run by making our business efficient and consistently running.
