Home energy storage in Auckland New Zealand

Why do New Zealand homes need battery storage?

In most New Zealand homes, a large proportion of the energy produced by solar panels is sent back to the grid because it's generated when it's not needed, i.e., the middle of the day. However, adding home battery storage to a new or existing solar power system allows you to store your unused energy.

Should I add home battery storage to my solar power system?

However, adding home battery storage to a new or existing solar power system allows you to store your unused energy. This makes your solar energy setup more efficient and maximizes the benefits of your solar PV installation.

What is solar battery storage & how does it work?

Battery storage is a smart way to offset your electricity costs as you maximise solar energy usage and minimise reliance on the grid. When combined with a new or existing solar power system, home batteries allow you to maximize the use of your solar energy by storing excess electricity produced during the day for use at any time.

Why do we need solar and battery storage?

Whether it’s to use energy during blackouts or extreme weather events, batteries can provide you with power when there is a grid outage and can be charged via rooftop solar. They’re important for our energy transition. With solar and battery storage, households can become a key part of our energy infrastructure.
