Power and energy derived from solar panel smart grids can be stored in a battery for later use. This allows for programmable delivery during peak periods when electricity is the most expensive, reducing electrical bills. The smart battery can also be programmed as a backup power source in case of blackouts, and help prevent grid surges to provide a steady stream of current for smooth operations.
Data on solar conversion, energy delivery, storage, and programmed features is valuable and needs to be captured, reported, and transferred for analysis. Near-real-time information is instrumental for analyzing and predicting usage patterns. Prediction allows charging and discharging cycles to be scheduled to ensure a sufficient supply of power, especially during peak usage periods.
