Technical FAQs 4

Should I buy a solar battery?

While this can improve your return on investment, the most significant financial benefit of a battery is still maximising the use of your own solar power to avoid buying expensive electricity from the grid. Can I export excess battery power to the grid and get paid for it?

Do solar panels need a battery?

During sunny days, your solar panels often generate more electricity than your home consumes. Without a battery, this excess energy typically flows back to the electrical grid. With a solar energy storage system, you can capture and store this surplus energy for use during evenings, cloudy days, or power outages.

How do solar battery owners make money?

Grid Services Create New Revenue Streams: In 2025, solar battery owners can earn additional income through virtual power plant programs and grid services, with Tesla alone paying out $9.9 million to Powerwall owners in 2024. These programs provide compensation while helping stabilize the electrical grid.

Can you sell solar energy back if it's cheap?

The core idea is simple: store energy when it’s cheap (either from your solar panels during the day or from the grid overnight on a time-of-use tariff) and sell it back when grid prices are high. However, it’s important to distinguish between a standard solar feed-in tariff (FiT) and the revenue you can earn from a battery.
