Energy Storage

Energy storage through batteries is an integral part of modern energy solutions. It involves the ability to store the energy produced by renewable sources, such as solar or wind, to be used later on.

Batteries are used as energy reservoirs, absorbing the energy surplus during periods of low demand (e.g. nighttime) and supplying it when the demand is higher (e.g. daytime). This ensures a steady energy flow, reduces grid dependency, and protects you from potential power disruptions or price spikes.

Gesolar’s advanced battery storage systems provide grid independence, cost savings, and optimized energy usage.

Advantages of Energy Storage

Independence
Allows storage of excess solar energy for use when the production from photovoltaic systems is insufficient (e.g., at night or during days with low sunlight).
Cost Savings
Reduces the need to consume energy from the grid, especially during peak hours, when charges are higher.
Stability and reliability
Provides a steady energy supply, helping to avoid outages or voltage issues.
Sustainable energy use
Contributes to maximizing the use of energy produced by photovoltaic systems, preventing waste.
