When choosing and installing a solar battery storage system, make sure your installer is signed up to the Renewable Energy Consumer code (RECC) or the Home Insultation and Energy Systems Contractor Scheme (HIES), as this means you'll be covered should you need to make a complaint or claim.
Use any monitoring available to understand when free electricity is available from the solar PV or battery system. Use high power appliances one at a time. This should allow more of the power to be provided by the solar PV or battery system. Do not turn off your WIFI router.
Solar batteries connect to your solar panel system and store any excess energy that you haven’t used, keeping you online even when the grid is down. If you install a solar energy system without a battery, you’ll have to use any energy you generate immediately or sell it back to the grid.

Make sure you turn the power off before cleaning! Keep your battery at the right temperature: The optimum temperature for solar batteries to work is between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius. While they can function at temperatures as low as - 20, your panels will need to work harder to achieve the same results in these conditions.
It's a device that stores the electricity you generate (but don't use immediately) from your solar panels, allowing you to then use that electricity later in the day. It's a bit like portable power packs that you can charge your mobile phone with when you're out and about – only a solar battery is much much bigger (and less portable).
