As we continue to face the effects of climate change, it's becoming very clear that traditional energy systems are not equipped to handle the challenges of extreme weather. From power outages during hurricanes to rolling blackouts from heat waves, our reliance on centralized energy sources is putting homeowners at risk. But luckily, there’s an emerging solution that protects our homes and communities from these disasters: battery storage systems that act as a solar optimizer.
Key Points
- Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity to use for your home, while battery systems store excess solar energy to use when sunlight isn't available.
- Torus Station is an energy management platform that combines solar power and battery storage. It features real-time monitoring with the Torus App, energy usage schedules, and smart home device integration.
- The Torus Station ensures a continuous energy supply even during grid outages, offers cost savings, and improves your environmental impact by maximizing renewable energy usage and reducing carbon emissions.
How Do Solar and Battery Systems Work Together?
Solar panels capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity, which is used to power your home. However, during times of low sunlight or high demand, solar panels alone may not be enough to meet your household's needs.
This is where battery systems come in—these solar optimizers store excess solar energy during peak production times and release it when needed, which provides a reliable and continuous source of electricity for your home.
Battery storage systems have many different parts working together to ensure effective energy management:
- Lithium Battery Pack: This is the main storage unit of a battery system. It stores electricity and releases it when needed.
- Inverter: The inverter converts the direct current (DC) electricity from your solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power your home.
- Charge Controller: This component regulates the flow of electricity from your solar panels to the battery pack, which ensures efficient charging.
- Energy Management System: The brain of the system, this component monitors and controls energy usage and chooses the most efficient source of electricity (solar, battery, or grid) to power your home.
