A home battery offers several benefits for homeowners:

1. Own Energy Storage:

   • Homeowners can store their self-generated energy, for example with solar panels, in the home battery. This allows them to use the energy when demand is high or when there is no sunlight.

2. Independence from the Power Grid:

   • During power outages, the home battery functions as a backup power supply, allowing essential appliances to continue operating. This keeps the household functioning even if the external power grid temporarily fails.

3. Optimization of Self-Consumption:

   • By storing energy when demand is low, such as at night, and using it later, a home battery can maximize the self-consumption of sustainable energy. This reduces the electricity drawn from the grid, which can lower energy costs.

4. Saving on Energy Costs:

   • Using a home battery can help reduce overall energy costs, especially if there are variable energy price rates throughout the day.

5. Environmental Friendliness:

   • By storing and using self-generated energy, using a home battery contributes to reduced dependence on non-renewable sources and decreases the household's ecological footprint.

6. Flexibility and Control:

   • Homeowners have more control over when they want to use their stored energy, allowing them to be more flexible with their energy consumption.

7. Encouragement of Sustainable Behavior:

   • Using a home battery can encourage homeowners to be more conscious of their energy use and promote sustainable behavior.

Combining a home battery with sustainable energy sources such as solar panels generally increases the benefits, bringing homeowners a step closer to an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly household.
