Your roof-mounted solar panels contain an array of solar cells. When sunlight falls on the cells they convert the sun’s energy into DC (direct current) power.
The inverter converts the DC power produced by the solar panels and battery to 240V AC – the electricity used in your home. The AKAI inverter is a hybrid model, which means it smartly manages the solar battery charging and discharging. A mobile app provides a real time window into the inverters operation, with easy to understand data on how much power is being generated by the solar panels, your battery status, and how much power your home is using.
A solar system can only produce electricity if there is sunlight. That means solar can produce electricity on cloudy days when small amounts of sunlight are still shining down onto a rooftop. However, at night time, when there is no sun light, your solar system will not generate any electricity.
It will charge your solar battery and when that is full it will be exported to the electricity grid where, depending on your retailer and tariff, you may be given a credit towards your electricity bill.
This is the rate at which you are paid for exporting excess electricity generation back to the grid and is retailer dependent.
Batteries store power produced by your solar panels during the day for use In the evening. In the evening, often called peak demand, is when energy retailers can charge higher amounts for electricity, hence a battery can really maximise your savings. Our battery also has an emergency power capability, which can keep an essential circuit like your refrigerator running in the event of a blackout.
