Solar batteries: powering Pakistan’s home and future
One of the aspects of solar energy solutions of today that make sense, and allow homeowners a certain degree of energy independence is battery storage options. These are additions to a solar energy system that allow for excess energy to be stored for later usage, obviously, but this addition opens up new avenues for energy consumption and generation as well. With a suitably sized solar energy system, an entire home can be powered. But with added battery storage options, this equation gets changed to energy independence; even without energy for extended periods, the home can still be energised.
So, how is this simple addition of an accumulator or battery revolutionise the idea of solar energy? Well, the same can be said for Pakistan as a whole. With a history of energy issues and consumers having to pay extra for decimated transmission lines and an abysmal state of energy in general, solar energy was understood to become quite big in Pakistan, but with the addition of energy storage, now the grid’s importance seems diminished even more. So, in this blog post, let’s take a look at how solar batteries are powering Pakistan’s homes and the future.
Solar batteries: the revolutionary principle
Most people know what batteries are and understand the principle that governs their usage. However, it’s the addition to solar energy systems that makes it a considerable step up. With a conventional on-grid solar energy solution, the home can be energised, but only when the grid itself is functioning. Then, the solar energy acts as a system that fills out energy gaps and keeps consumption from the grid down, without the consumer having to actively do it, resulting in lower utility bills. But the issue remains; once the grid goes down, or there is a blackout, consumers say goodbye to the solar energy system as well, which can get problematic especially during summers, when blackouts are far too common.
With specific solar energy solution configurations, including hybrid and off-grid solar solutions, batteries are available to be added to the system, introducing an aspect of solar energy storage that isn’t available for conventional system users. This opens up an entirely new aspect of how consumers use their solar energy solutions. From using their solar energy solution just as a means of reducing their bills and getting some relief from the inflated bills, now solar energy solutions have a whole new utility to them. That is, energy independence. No longer is the consumer at the mercy of the grid and its many outages. With a suitably-sized solar energy system, now consumers can simply utilise this option to store energy for when they need it the most; usually during blackouts.
While previously, solar energy systems were themselves connected to the grid, working in tandem, now solar energy systems can work independently of the grid. Especially off-grid solutions, which work without any input from the grid at all. But this means that consumers don’t need to wait for the grid to work for the solar solution to kick in as well. Instead, provided you have enough battery storage available, you can easily energise the entire home with just the solar solution.
Energising Pakistan’s future
This simple addition brings new tidings for Pakistan’s energy future as well. Previously, rather than scheduling your chores, tasks and essentially your life around blackouts, now, consumers have energy independence. No longer do they need to rely on the grid to make their decisions for them. Now, you have energy whenever you need it, and blackouts really don’t matter all that much. Pakistan is now entering the phase where energy independence is going to be the byword.
