Are Solar Batteries Safe? Here’s What You Need to Know

As more Malaysian homeowners embrace solar energy, many are also exploring battery energy storage systems (BESS) to make the most of their solar power.

But one question always comes up first “Are solar batteries safe to use at home?”

The answer is a clear YES, solar batteries are safe, reliable, and built with advanced protection systems.
Let’s explore how they work, what makes them safe, and why they’re the perfect partner for your Solar ATAP installation.
 

 Why Add a Battery to Your Solar System?

When you install a solar PV system, it produces electricity during the day, but what happens when your energy generation exceeds your consumption?

If you’re on a Self-Consumption (SELCO) or Solar ATAP program, any unused energy is sent back to the grid without credit. This means some of your potential savings are lost.

That’s where a battery storage system comes in.

A battery stores your excess solar energy during the day, so you can use it at night or during cloudy weather, increasing your energy independence and maximizing your savings.
 

The Battery We Use: BYD Battery Storage LV 5.0+

At Solar Sunyield, we use the BYD Battery Storage LV 5.0+, one of the world’s most trusted and proven lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO ) batteries for residential solar systems.

BYD (Build Your Dreams) is a global leader in clean energy technology, the same company that supplies batteries for electric vehicles and large-scale renewable projects worldwide.

Here’s why BYD batteries stand out:

1. Built with Advanced Safety Features

• Overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit protection

• Temperature and voltage monitoring at every stage

• Fire-resistant casing with robust insulation

• Certified to international safety standards (IEC & UN standards)

2. Long-Lasting and Durable

BYD’s lithium iron phosphate technology is known for its stability and longevity, providing a life span of up to 6,000 cycles, that’s years of consistent performance with minimal maintenance.

3. Modular and Flexible

The BYD LV 5.0+ system is modular, which means it can be expanded based on your home’s energy needs. Whether you want a simple backup system or full energy independence, it grows with you.

4. Trusted Worldwide

BYD batteries are used in over 400,000 installations globally, including residential homes, schools, and commercial projects. Their proven track record ensures peace of mind for Malaysian homeowners.
 

Safety Comes from Design and Professional Installation

Even the safest battery requires proper setup and system integration.

• International wiring and protection standards

We don’t just install, we design, test, and commission every system to operate safely, efficiently, and seamlessly with your solar panels.
 

Real Benefits of Having a Solar Battery

1. Use Solar Power at Night: Store the excess energy produced during the day and power your home after sunset.

2. Save More on Electricity Bills: Maximize your solar usage and reduce dependence on TNB’s grid.

3. Enjoy Backup Power: Keep your lights on even during blackouts or power outages.

4. Go Greener: Reduce your carbon footprint by using clean, stored solar energy 24/7.
    

Solar + Battery Under ATAP Program: The Perfect Match

The Solar ATAP Program makes solar energy more affordable through government support and incentives.
When combined with battery storage, homeowners can enjoy:

• Greater energy independence

• Higher self-consumption efficiency

• Long-term protection from rising electricity tariffs

The ATAP program is limited by quota, meaning once slots are filled, new applicants may need to wait for the next phase.
Registering early ensures your system, including battery storage is ready for proposal submission when the program opens.

Safe. Smart. Sustainable.

With BYD’s proven technology and Solar Sunyield’s professional installation, you’re getting more than just a solar system, you’re securing a future of safe, reliable, and sustainable energy.
