1) The sun only shines during the day and the wind blows intermittently, therefore solar and wind power is not generated on demand. Energy storage batteries allow you to store the excess power generated by your renewable solar or wind system. You can then use this stored energy, whenever you need it.

2) Self Consume your solar power, rather than exporting to the grid. Because the exporting rebates are lower than the cost to buy power, you save money storing your own power and self consuming during the evenings, when the sun isn't shining.

3) Energy Independence - complete independence from the grid is only possible with battery energy storage.

4) Batteries protect you from power failures and grid interuptions. Batteries act as a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply), meaning they will provide you with power, even when the grid is down.

5) Kick fossil fuels in the guts - batteries allow you to ensure you are using only renewable energy and not paying greedy energy companies.

6) Go anywhere - for mobile applications such as marine, automotive, caravan and camping, batteries are very portable, especially lithium batteries, which are now lighter and smaller than ever before in history.

7) Better return on investment then ever before - batteries are becoming very cost effective and the ROI is very attractive. Many applications pay for themselves in 2 to 4 years.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) or Home Energy Storage Systems (HESS) are batteries that are specifically designed for storing energy. A typical application would be either grid connected or offgrid array of batteries, which are connected to a battery charge controller or hybrid inverter, to store energy from solar or wind power.

Daytech Energy's batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, which have been designed with ultra high lifespan, safety and deep discharge in mind.

Yes! One of the best things about Daytech Energy's batteries, is the modularity of the system. We have designed our batteries to be expandable, meaning the system can grow as your needs grow.

Obviously, being a battery and renewable energy technology company, we are pro battery and have some bias here. But it is a reasonable question to ask and we beleive it is a great time to invest in battery technology right now.

Firstly, our management team and our friends have personally installed our technology at their homes and we are fitting out our workshop with an AC coupled Daytech Energy system, so we strongly beleive this is a good move right now, for both the environment and to save money.

Secondly, battery technology has advanced rapidly over the last 20 years and the price per kWh is at a record low. Daytech Energy has a very affodable price point in the market. It is at a lower cost than ever before and a good investment, with between 2 and 4 years ROI, depending upon the application.

Advancements in Lithium battery technology have stabalised and will only be incremental now, with no radical breakthroughs expected in the technology. We are in a refinement stage, with minor improvements occuring in the manufacturing processes, electronic control circuits, connectivity, software and apps. This means that if you invest in lithium batteries now, you can be pretty sure that you will not have any buyers remorse, which you might experience with technologies such as your smartphone, when the latest model is released.

With Daytech's modular approach to battery energy storage, the good news is, when new developments are released, you can upgrade without replacing your whole system.
