What is Solar Battery?

A solar battery is an energy storage device that can be paired with an off-grid and hybrid solar system. It is also known as a solar panel battery, solar power battery, or solar battery storage. Solar batteries are designed to connect with a solar charger controller or solar inverter for power backup. With a solar battery, you can store the extra power generated by your solar panels throughout the day and use it later as per your need.

Solar battery alters the way you use solar power. Installing a solar battery at your home allows you to use more of your solar power at home while purchasing less electricity from the grid. Your solar system will transmit power into the grid once your battery is fully charged. A solar battery might be worth considering if your grid electricity goes out frequently and you want backup power.

 

Main 2 Types of Solar Battery

If we talk about the types of solar batteries, then there are mainly two types of solar batteries. These batteries are being used in the field of solar for decades. If you are thinking of installing a solar system or want to add batteries to your existing solar system then take a look at these batteries.

  • Tall Tubular Solar Battery (Lead Acid)
  • Lithium-ion Solar Battery (LiFePO4)

Features of Solar Battery

Solar batteries have been increasingly popular in recent decades as a way to fulfill the world’s growing clean energy demand. These batteries have been specifically designed to be used in solar systems with great features. Let’s dive into these features.

  •  Excellent Efficiency

    The overall success of a solar system depends upon storage efficiency. Therefore, solar batteries have an excellent efficiency level. A solar battery maximizes the use of your solar panel system and increases your energy independence.

  •  Superior Life Cycle

    The expected life of a solar battery is very long. In addition, solar batteries have an extremely high life cycle which depends upon the type of solar battery. Lead-acid tall tubular batteries have 1500 life cycles while lithium-ion batteries have up to 5000 life cycles.

  •  High Round Trip Efficiency

    Solar batteries have high round trip efficiency as well. This means that the power loss during transmission will be very less and you will be able to use most of the stored electricity.

  •  Tuff Futuristic Design

    Solar batteries are made of highly durable materials and have a very premium design. They are robust and suitable for off-grid and hybrid solar systems. You can install them anywhere in your home.

  •  Water Level Indicators

    One of the specialties of solar batteries is that they come with water level indicators. Water level indicators will tell you how much water is in your battery and when you need to top up the battery.

  •  Ultra-Low Maintenance

    Solar batteries require very little maintenance. These batteries require to be top-up with water every 3 to 6 months. There is no additional repairing or maintenance cost for these batteries.
