How Energy Flows in a Battery Storage System

The energy flow follows a logical sequence based on your consumption and production patterns.

1. Morning to Afternoon (Peak Generation)

Your panels produce maximum electricity. Your home draws what it needs directly from the panels. Excess power charges your battery bank automatically.

1. Late Afternoon (Reduced Generation)

As sunlight decreases, panel output drops. Your home still draws from panels first. Any additional requirements come from the battery.

1. Evening to Night (No Generation)

Panels stop producing electricity. The stored battery power meets your entire energy need. The solar inverter with battery seamlessly switches sources without interruption.

1. Grid Interaction

If your battery is depleted, the system automatically draws power from the grid. When batteries are full, and you are still generating excess power, the power can feed back to the grid under net metering.

This intelligent switching happens in milliseconds. You never experience any disruption in power supply.
