Storing solar energy at home instead of feeding it back to the electricity grid. It is possible with a home battery: a large battery in which you can store electricity. Some people are already trying them out in their homes. It is not yet financially attractive at the moment. But in the future, home batteries for solar panels may play a role in the energy supply. How does it work and what does it cost? This is how home storage works The power generated by your solar panels goes to the appliances in the house or to the electricity grid. But you can also connect a battery (a large battery) to the system in which you store power. You can then use that power later. How does that work? The solar panels generate electricity. The controller sends the generated power to the devices that need power at that time. Are you generating more power than your devices are currently using? Then the 'surplus' of generated power goes to the home battery, so that you can use it later. Only when the
