READ MORESolar battery storage is the ideal addition to a solar panel system. It can hugely increase your savings from the electricity your panels generate, allow you to profit from buying and selling grid electricity, protect you from energy price rises and power cuts, and shrink your carbon footprint. In this guide, we''ll run through everything you
READ MOREThe Basics of Solar Battery. At the most basic level, battery storage allows power produced by a solar system to be stored for use at a later time. All solar systems produce power at different times than homeowners use it. Solar systems will typically overproduce during the middle of the day compared to what the homeowner needs.

READ MORESolar batteries and storage systems can be integral to any solar panel installation. They store the excess energy generated by solar panels for you to use later
READ MOREOne of the most common solar batteries for solar panel systems is the lead-acid variety. This device has been around for decades and is popular in industrial applications. A lead-acid solar storage battery is reliable and doesn''t require that much maintenance. That makes them incredibly easy to use for a long time.
READ MOREMost solar energy storage systems have a lifespan between 5 and 15 years. However, the actual lifespan depends on the technology, usage, and maintenance. Lithium-ion batteries generally have a longer lifespan (around 10-15 years), while lead-acid batteries may need replacement after 5-10 years (Dunlop, 2015).
