Solar Batteries
Solar batteries are devices that store excess electricity generated by solar panels. They can be used to power a home when the sun isn’t shining, such as at night or during a power outage.
How do they work?
Solar panels generate electricity when the sun is shining. Excess electricity is stored in the solar battery. Needed, the stored electricity is used to power the home.
Benefits of solar batteries
