Adding a home storage battery means you can get the most from your renewables and enjoy cheap energy morning, noon, and night. Plus, this concept of consistent low-cost energy also applies during outages. With domestic battery storage, you can protect your supply from disruption, keeping your home powered even when the grid is down.
Your GivEnergy battery system must be fitted by an approved installer. The installer will talk you through appropriate installation locations when they come to assess your project. When it comes to positioning, the battery storage system is designed to be wall mounted or ground mounted, and always kept in an upright position.
In the first instance, a storage battery can take its charge from renewables. (I.e., from solar panels, or wind or hydro turbines.) So, you can charge your battery using free, green sources. And, because the energy from renewables is intermittent, a storage battery allows you to harness it more efficiently for consistent use.
With any installation – indoors or outdoors – your installer should leave adequate clearance around the system for ventilation. Generally, your installer will be able to fit and commission your domestic battery storage solution within a single day. 09 Will I need to manage my domestic battery storage solution?
The process primarily involves connecting and configuring the solar battery system via your solar inverter, which rarely requires disconnecting your existing power source. Your installer will ensure that the transition is seamless, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted electricity while your solar battery system is being set up.
If there’s not enough room indoors, you can go with an outdoor enclosure that can handle the weather. But you might need to take some extra steps to stop it from getting too hot or cold. Ultimately, it’s a good idea to speak with a professional installer to find the best location for your solar battery system.
