The ElektrikGreen Firefly was created to ensure homeowners have 24/7 access to power. The concept is simple: when the sun is shining, you get the electricity you need from your solar panels and when the sun goes down, you use your stored energy. Adding storage makes it possible to store the extra electricity you’re generating during the day to use at night, as backup, or during seasonal periods.
“Green” hydrogen is by far the best choice as a storage medium for energy generated from solar – better for the environment, more sustainable, and longer-lasting than batteries. A battery’s useful lifespan is between 5 and 15 years. The more times you cycle a battery, the shorter the lifespan. If you install a battery today, you will likely need to replace it at least once to match the 25 to 30-year lifespan of your solar system.
