Solar Storage Guide

Solar Energy Storage Guide

Maximize your solar investment - store excess solar energy and use it when you need it most. Complete guide to solar battery systems

Why Add Battery Storage to Solar?

Solar panels alone are great, but adding battery storage maximizes your savings and energy independence

The Problem with Solar-Only

Peak Production, Low Usage

Your panels produce most energy during the day when you're at work and not using much electricity

Evening Energy Costs

You use most electricity in the evening/night when panels produce nothing - buying expensive grid power

Poor Feed-in Rates

Excess solar energy is sold back to the grid at low rates (€0.05-0.10/kWh)

No Backup Power

During power outages, your solar panels shut down for safety - no power at all

The Solution: Solar + Battery Storage

Store Daytime Solar

Charge your battery during the day with free solar energy instead of selling it cheap

Use Evening Solar

Power your home in the evening with stored solar - avoid expensive grid electricity

Backup Power

Keep essential devices running during outages - your stored solar keeps you online

Peak Shaving

Reduce peak demand charges - use battery during expensive peak hours

💰 Solar Only vs Solar + Battery: ROI Comparison

☀️ Solar Only

Self-consumption ~30-40%
Feed-in rate €0.08/kWh
Grid purchase €0.30/kWh
Annual savings ~€400-600
RECOMMENDED

☀️ + 🔋 Solar + Battery

Self-consumption ~70-90%
Feed-in rate €0.08/kWh
Grid purchase €0.30/kWh (minimal!)
Annual savings ~€800-1200
2-3x MORE SAVINGS with battery storage!
