WHAT ARE SOLAR BATTERIES

Batteries store excess electrical energy generated by solar panels for use during times when sunlight is insufficient, such as at night or on cloudy days. Batteries are essential in off-grid systems and beneficial in grid-tied systems to utilize stored energy during peak periods.

TYPES OF SOLAR BATTERIES

• Lead-Acid: Traditional and low-cost
• Lithium-Ion: High efficiency and long lifespan
• Flow Batteries: Suitable for long-term storage

Selection Factors

• Storage Capacity
• Depth of Discharge
• Lifespan
• Efficiency
