SunRa Solar Staying Ahead with Battery Storage
SunRa Solar recently announced that we are partnering with Germany based sonnen, a leader in battery storage for home and business.
In order to stay ahead with energy storage in Massachusetts, we have chosen sonnen for both its reputation and demonstrated performance. Focused on providing start of the art and safe battery storage systems for homeowners, sonnen is rapidly expanding its presence in the U.S.
SunRa Solar has begun offering sonnen systems to enhance the value of both new and existing solar energy systems in Massachusetts.
Battery Storage Adds Value and Security to Solar Energy Systems
As we reported earlier, battery storage is the new energy efficiency option in Massachusetts. Incentives have been modified to include this energy storage technology in recognition of its positive functional and economic impact on power grid operations and ratepayer satisfaction.
Most power customers are more than inconvenienced by long term power outages, no matter if they are weather and storm related or not. For some, even short term outages are an inconvenience, or worse.
Recognizing this, Massachusetts utilities have begun to locate community level energy storage facilities as one method to reduce to impact of outages along the local power transmission network. But this offers some relief for a very limited number of residents in the state.
SunRa Solar knows some homeowners want power security, but cannot wait on utilities to solve the problem. Including battery storage along with producing solar power gives a homeowner good relief and adds value by utilizing even more solar power for personal use. When battery power is needed, the stored energy is clean, solar energy.
When to Add Battery Storage to a Solar Energy System
A battery storage system does not directly impact the production of solar power. It is connected to the home’s electrical distribution and is managed by the same power control circuits as your solar panels.
This makes the addition of this kind of energy storage simple either at the time of solar energy system design or later, as a retrofit. When designed together, the combines solar power plus battery storage system is the most cost effective option for energy security and saves the most over time.
Upgrading an existing solar energy system is nearly as simply. It often requires a quick swap of the power inverter in order to smartly handle the charging of batteries while also providing enough solar electricity to the home.
