How to store electricity converted by solar panels

1. Electricity generated through battery storage

When solar panels generate electricity, the electricity is converted into alternating current through an inverter, and then stored in batteries. In this way, the power from the solar panels can be used at any time without having to worry about being unable to be used in bad weather or at night. When the weather is fine, the solar panels generate electricity that exceeds your home's electricity consumption. When there is excess electricity, the excess electricity will be stored in the battery pack in the form of DC.

2. Integration into the grid

If the electricity generated by the solar panels in your home exceeds your own electricity consumption, you can choose to integrate the excess electricity into the grid and sell it to the grid company. The electricity revenue generated can be used to offset the cost of household electricity. When the power generated by solar panels is insufficient, power needs to be purchased from the grid. This method allows household solar panels to obtain more benefits when power generation is unstable.

3. Water energy storage

Water energy storage is another way solar panels store electricity. When solar power generation peaks, solar energy can be used to drive a water pump to pump water to a high reservoir for storage. When electricity is needed, a pump pumps water into a lower tank, where the water flows over a turbine that drives a generator to generate electricity.

To sum up, the electricity generated by solar panels can be stored through battery storage, integration into the grid, and water energy storage. Families can choose a method that suits them to solve the problem of storing electricity after solar panels generate electricity.
