Solar system became the fastest growing rate of character in the energy family, people are saving money from it every minute, benefit from the eagerly growing industry from China solar niches; Now, we’ll talk about how to choose solar battery for your home, select the better solar battery for your need, what type of factors we need to consider before purchase
Battery Type
The main type of solar battery is lithium, lead-acid battery, we recommend lithium battery only and LFP(Lithium iron phosphate battery) battery will be better, because lithium battery has obvious advantage features such as “costs”, “density”, “Lifespan”, “maintenance” ETC…
Battery Capacity
This is a math question relative to your solar panels, but we will describe it simply, the capacity of your solar battery in the range from 50% to 100% of your daily consumption is good, up and down depending on your condition such as the power of solar panel or inverter, the potential growing needs for energy, on-grid or off-grid….
Battery Brand
The best is choose your solar battery and inverter from same brand, of course the brand better the reliability better, but that will be spends more money, you could also choose other middle brand battery, which will be saving 20-30% of your cash, but please notice the compatibility of this battery, it must be compatible with your solar inverter
Battery Version
Nowadays, some versions of battery is well designed for end-user, you could settle it easily even non-profession person, like no-wire plug, plug-play, protection panels etc, buy the suitable one instead of cheapest one for save a little bit if you are not familiar with solar system
Battery Quality
We could test it or get the test record to analysis it, but this is a little hard for end-user, I recommend a easy way to you, to ask the scan qr code for your suppliar, before buy it, you could find some information such as “Production Date”, “Cell Brand”, “featuires” as that factors to assess it, remember the main goal is to avoid retired Solar Battery Cell
Battery Voltage
Usually we roughly classife lithium battery to two part:
You could choose LV-battery when your capacity needs within 5KWH, we recommend HV-battery if you need capacity above 5KWH, but you still could use LV-battery for big capacity for lower effciency.
Don’t forget your battery voltage must fit with the requirement of your inverter
