Which is better? An installation with or without solar batteries? When planning the <\/span>installation of photovoltaic panels<\/span><\/a> in a home or business, we need to take into account all the factors that will influence their performance from an energy and financial point of view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the most important and difficult tasks is to calculate the available area correctly, and establish how many solar panels a house or building needs in order to cover its energy demands, according to the type of panel or the <\/span>orientation of the house.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

We must also assess whether we are going to choose <\/span>direct self-consumption<\/b> (a photovoltaic installation without batteries) or <\/span>self-consumption with storage<\/b> (a photovoltaic installation <\/span>with <\/span><\/i>batteries), as both options have their advantages and disadvantages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solar batteries: why are they important?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

The solar batteries in a photovoltaic installation <\/span>accumulate the unused electricity generated by the solar panels at peak times<\/b>. The stored electricity is <\/span>then used during the night or when there is no sun<\/b>, such as on winter afternoons when it gets dark earlier and on summer nights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally speaking, <\/span>we can consider these batteries as a back-up<\/b> to guarantee that we will have electricity available to us. However, when installing a photovoltaic system, it\u2019s actually an <\/span>optional element<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I need solar batteries in my solar installation?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

By using solar batteries we can <\/span>store the solar energy that we produce<\/b> and don\u2019t consume, and then <\/span>use it either when the panels are not able to produce energy,<\/b> or at times when our house or business requires more energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, <\/span>we depend less on the national grid<\/b> and the suppliers, and <\/span>save money<\/b> into the bargain.<\/span><\/p>\n

When are they recommended and what are their advantages?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Installing solar batteries is the best option for houses without an electricity connection<\/b> or <\/span>remote properties<\/b>. In this case, <\/span>the advantages<\/b> are:<\/span>
