Solar Batteries

Solar batteries are devices used to store electrical energy generated by solar panels. This stored energy can then be used during periods when the solar panels are unable to produce electricity, such as at night or on cloudy days.

Types of Solar Batteries

1. Lead-Acid Batteries

• • Affordable and easy to use.
  • Shorter lifespan compared to other types.
  • Suitable for small-scale solar systems.

2. Lithium-Ion Batteries

• • Lightweight and highly efficient.
  • Long lifespan.
  • Ideal for large-scale solar systems or residential use.

3. Gel Batteries

• • Excellent resistance to deep discharge cycles (Deep Cycle).
  • Suitable for applications requiring long-term durability.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Solar Battery

• • Capacity: The amount of energy the battery can store.
  • Lifespan: How long the battery can operate effectively.
  • Compatibility: Suitability with the installed solar system.
  • Budget: The total cost of the battery.
