Weather fluctuations such as a passing rain or sudden cloud cover tend to fluctuate solar power output, and this change can disrupt some electrical systems. Solar battery storage systems alleviate this problem by discharging energy stored in the batteries to “bridge the gap” when solar output drops below a threshold. Avcon Solar emphasizes that the system conducts real time output monitoring. For example, in a situation where a cloud dims a solar panel and temporarily reduces its efficiency to 50, the battery may automatically trigger to discharge a fraction of its stored energy to compensate for the deficit.
For example, within a factory, a commercial solar system may experience a sudden drop in output during the afternoons on cloudy days, and the storage system averts equipment downtime by giving consistent power to production machinery. This feature to stabilize output further improves the intermittent operation of renewables by protecting fragile electronics and essential systems.
Provide a Backup Design During Blackouts
Traditional solar power users go dark during outage periods, which may be caused by a storm, a spike in demand, or equipment malfunction. Solar batteries now serve as storage systems, which guarantees that the energy supplied during a blackout is still from a renewable source. As Avcon Solar states, “off-grid capable” storage systems automatically switch to battery power within seconds of a grid failure. During blackouts caused by a hurricane, homes equipped with solar batteries can power essential devices, including oxygen concentrators, phones, or refrigerators. This crucial backup function is a lifesaver during emergencies, which shows that we can now rely on renewable power instead of grid electricity even in crises.
Enhancing energy independence by reducing reliance on the grid
Solar battery storage systems improves the reliability of renewable power by reducing exposure to grid issues, which lowers dependence on the grid.
According to Avcon Solar, the solar systems linked to the grid are subject to price hikes, maintenance shutdowns, and regional power shortages. With solar and storage, users are able to cover a larger portion of their energy needs from self-generated power. For instance, a household with a battery system of sufficient capacity, say, 20kWh, can cover a majority of their needs, only tapping the grid in prolonged cloudy conditions. Independence from the grid enables the users to not worry about disruption of supply or high prices of electricity. These households over a period of time, are able to lower the risk of renewable power being compromised by grid disruptions, making it a more feasible energy source in the long term.
Align demand response with energy needs
According to Avcon Solar, solar battery storage systems allow demand response to be more effective by optimizing the available renewable power to the time when it is most needed. Demand response is the practice of shifting power use to the times when there is an abundant supply or lower costs and Avcon Solar explains it well.
The storage system has the ability to automatically recharge during times when the grid is least busy (and charging is therefore less expensive) and discharge during the times of most intense demand (when the grid is most expensive or available at a premium). Commercial buildings, for example, can buy the required stored solar energy and use it to power HVAC systems and other utilities during the afternoon for a premium, thus reducing expensive grid power exploitation as well as relieving the peak supply grid shortages. This configuration of supply and demand is how power is controlled and maximize renewable energy use even during peak grid overload times.
Use of untapped sunlight increases the level of efficiency of the system. Their solar batteries range from 5kWh to 100kWh or even more, thus, offering enhanced reliability for powering residential, commercial, or even utility level systems, which includes small home systems to massive solar farms. The operational systems use advanced IT technologies, lithium batteries with 10 - to 15-year lifespan, operational compatibility with solar panels of any type, and grid outage backup. The Avcon solar storage systems are equipped with smart monitoring systems to optimize battery performance and maximize the efficiency of the entire solar power system. Regular battery discharge and recharge balancing performance monitoring guarantees batteries receive the required servicing for improved battery health.
With these solutions, Avcon Solar guarantees that customers have dependable, renewable energy for everyday usage, for emergency backup, or for energy self-sufficiency over extended periods.
