When the home battery is full and there is no immediate energy demand in the house, the electricity can be used or stored in different ways.

Firstly, the electricity can be used to power household appliances. For example, if you turn on your washing machine, dishwasher, or other appliances at that time, the electricity will be used directly to operate these devices.

If there is no immediate energy demand in the house at that time, the electricity can be directed to the home battery. The home battery acts as a storage medium where the excess energy can be stored for later use. The energy is stored as chemical energy in the battery cells and can be discharged later when there is an energy demand and the solar panels are not providing enough energy.

In addition, it is also possible to feed the excess energy back into the electricity grid. If you have a feed-in agreement with your energy supplier, the energy you do not use yourself can be injected into the electricity grid. In this way, you contribute to the general energy supply and the energy can be used by others.

The specific behavior of the home battery can vary depending on the brand, model, and configuration of the battery. It is advisable to consult the manufacturer's instructions for your home battery to gain a better understanding of how the electricity is managed when the battery is full.
