Solar Energy Storage VS Generators
26 Aug 2021
Finding the right source of backup power for your home or business appliances is an important safety measure in the event that the electrical grid fails or is damaged. Two popular solutions today are renewable energy storage system and gas-powered generators, each of which offers their own perks and drawbacks.
There are several important factors to consider when choosing energy backup power solution.
Cost:
The renewable energy storage system (EGS Energy Storage System, EGX Energy Storage System) or the only energy storage system (EverGen Energy Storage System) have a higher upfront price tag than a typical gas generator. This higher price is a factor of the costs of production and installation, among other variable costs. Although a energy storage system may cost more upfront than a traditional generator, you can expect the total lifetime cost of a generator to exceed that of a energy storage system. This is due to a few main factors:
•Maintenance and service: Energy storage solution require little to no maintenance, while generators need yearly service to make sure they are operational, safe, and clean.
•Fuel costs: If you connect your battery to a solar energy system, it can be recharged with electricity for free using energy from the sun. With a generator, you need to buy fuel to burn for power.
•Incentives: There are federal incentives available for purchasing a battery storage system, and often additional state and local incentives on top. Generators are usually not monetarily incentivized.
Considering of these aforementioned factors, renewable energy storage or only battery storage solution is more financial viable considered to generators.
Reliability:
A reliable backup power system should have the ability to operate for long periods of time. Gas-powered generators usually run on natural gas or gasoline, and it will only be able to produce power for you until that fuel runs out. Batteries have the advantage over generators in terms of power duration if you connect your battery to a solar energy system, which can continue to recharge your battery as long as the sun continues to rise in the morning.
Environmental impact:
A major advantage of energy storage solution is their minimal environmental impact compared to the carbon-based fuels required by generators. By utilizing the abundance of sustainable energy sources available, you can reliably power your home or small business without harming the planet.
Noise:
Although this isn’t normally a make or break issue for most businesses, the noise and smoke from diesel generators can be quite disruptive. If you have space to locate generators far from your operations, then it should be okay. Unfortunately, not every household or business have that kind of room to spare.
Earn extra money:
With the help of Hybrid Energy Storage system (EGX Energy Storage Solution), energy can be sold to grid to earn extra money. If the energy generated from solar is more compared to energy consumption, the extra energy can be sold to grid to earn extra money.
Smart Home Integration:
One of the most innovative and distinguishing features of a Energy Storage System is smart home integration. Systems allow you to monitor and manage your home’s energy usage and select different modes of operation depending on your energy goals.
Safety:
Generators are flammable and easy to explode during any type of accidents but in the other hand, energy storage system is really safe and don't tend to explode during accidents.
