Batteries

Self-consumption and independence from the grid are the ultimate goal of a PV system so combined with a battery, a well-designed PV system can reduce a household’s dependence on fossil fuels electricity by up to 80%.

Batteries in solar applications have to meet the demands of unstable grid energy, heavy cycling (charging and discharging) and irregular full recharging. There’s a variety of battery types fitted for these unique requirements. Considerations for choosing a battery include cost, cycle life and installation and maintenance.
