Photovoltaic storage systems with inverters and batteries are an advanced technological solution to maximize the efficiency and energy autonomy of solar systems. Here is a detailed description:
What are photovoltaic storage systems?
A photovoltaic storage system allows you to store the energy produced by solar panels in excess of immediate consumption. This energy can be used at a later time, for example during the night or in conditions of low solar radiation.
Main components
Inverter:
Transforms the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC), which can be used by household appliances.
In a storage system, the inverter also manages the flow of energy between the panels, the battery and the electrical grid.
Battery:
This is the component that stores the excess energy produced.
It can be of different types, including: Lithium batteries (the most common, thanks to their high energy density and long life). Lead-acid batteries (less expensive, but with shorter life cycles).
