Using renewable energy, like solar photovoltaic, to generate electricity for direct use and to electrify other sectors significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, the intermittent nature and dependence on solar irradiation – the amount of energy the sun puts out at a time – complicate the operation of the power network. Home battery storage systems can assist in multiple ways.
