How does Grid-Tied Solar with Battery Backup Work? | Belmont Solar

Many people who are new to solar wonder how Grid-Tied Solar with Battery Backup works. In this video, Ben gives an overview of a grid-tied solar system that Belmont Solar recently installed near Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania. This grid-tied solar system has full grid interactivity, and utilizes SolarEdge components and an LG Battery Backup for power storage.

Essentially, this Grid-Tied Solar System with Battery Backup will store extra electricity on the battery backup as well as send extra electricity back to the grid when it's not being used. If the power from the electric company goes out, you’ll still have the energy stored in your home battery backup to power the house. With a solar panel system and home battery backup combined, you can reduce your energy costs, gain dependable electricity, and even achieve energy independence for your home.

In-home batteries work by storing electricity for when you need it and will save money with or without a solar system. Homeowners can charge the batteries during the off-peak hours when the cost of power is lower. Of course charging the batteries with clean solar power is the best solution from a financial and environmental point of view. Battery backup complements a solar system by saving up clean power for the quiet and dark hours of the day.
