The generation of solar energy is growing explosively, especially at large solar farms. But how do you ensure that all that generated energy is also smartly utilized? By combining multiple home batteries with a solar park, you can capture peak production, store energy, and apply load balancing. In this blog, we explain how to set this up, what the benefits are, and what you need to watch out for to achieve the best results.
Why home batteries are essential for solar parks
Large solar parks produce enormous amounts of energy, especially during sunny peak moments. Without storage, a large part of this power is lost or has to be fed back to the grid, often at low rates. Home batteries offer a smart solution for this.
Main benefits:
Capture overproduction during peak hours.
Use stored power during high demand moments.
Reduction of grid load and grid management costs.
Better alignment with own energy consumption.
By making smart use of home batteries, you increase the independence of your solar park and get more return from your investment.
Energy storage: how multiple home batteries work together
When you connect multiple home batteries to a large solar park, a flexible and scalable storage solution emerges. Each battery contributes to the total, allowing you to respond much more dynamically to changing energy needs.
How it works:
The batteries are connected in parallel for greater storage volume.
Energy is automatically distributed based on availability and capacity.
Load balancing ensures the batteries are used evenly to minimize wear and tear.
A well-designed system with home batteries ensures that you always have a buffer, regardless of weather conditions or energy demand.
Smartly capturing peak production
On sunny days, a solar park can deliver more power than is immediately needed. Without storage, this leads to overloading of the power grid or loss of valuable energy. By deploying multiple home batteries, you can directly utilize this peak production.
Tips for capturing peak production:
Set up charging profiles that prioritize storage during peak moments.
Make use of dynamic charging and discharging strategies to optimally benefit from market prices.
Automate the process so surpluses are automatically stored without manual intervention.
This way, you utilize the full capacity of your solar park and increase the value of every kilowatt-hour generated.
Load balancing: the key to stable energy supply
Load balancing means smartly aligning energy supply and demand. Especially in large installations with multiple home batteries, this is essential to smoothly handle peaks and troughs in consumption.
What is important in load balancing:
Use smart inverters that actively manage based on current grid load.
Continuously monitor energy consumption and battery status.
Set rules in your energy management system to prevent peak consumption and optimize feed-back.
A well-tuned system with home batteries not only prevents problems with the power grid but also ensures lower costs and higher efficiency.
The relevance of home batteries in sustainable energy projects
More and more companies, agricultural entrepreneurs, and energy cooperatives are looking for ways to make solar parks future-proof. Home batteries play an indispensable role in this. They make solar parks less dependent on fluctuating energy prices and grid limitations, and provide more control over own energy management.
By focusing on home batteries, you not only enhance your returns but also actively contribute to the sustainability of the energy supply.
Frequently asked questions about multiple home batteries in a solar park
1. How many home batteries do I need for a solar park?
That depends on the total peak production and the desired storage volume. An often applied storage capacity is 30% to 50% of the daily yield.
2. Can different brands of home batteries be combined?
In theory, yes, but it is highly recommended to use the same brand and type for optimal compatibility.
3. How long can energy be stored in home batteries?
Depending on the type of battery and usage profile, energy can be stored for hours to several days without significant loss.
4. What happens when all the batteries are full?
Once the home batteries are full, excess power is usually fed back to the grid.
5. How much space do multiple home batteries occupy in a solar park?
On average, you should consider a separate technical space or container of a few square meters.
6. Are there subsidies available for energy storage in solar parks?
Yes, in some cases you can take advantage of investment deductions or specific sustainable energy schemes.
7. Can I manage the charging and discharging process of my home batteries myself?
Yes, through energy management software, you can fully automate and optimize the process.
8. How important is ventilation for multiple home batteries?
Very important! Good ventilation prevents overheating and prolongs the lifespan of the batteries.
