Details To Check Before Buying Solar System Battery

Everything around us works on electricity. It does not matter whether it is a device with which we communicate or the device which we use to make food for ourselves. We are very well aware of the ways to produce the electricity but there is an issue with that, the issue comes in the process of making electricity to supply. The issue resources are limited. So some genius scientists have found a way to resolve it by producing electricity through sunlight. That is a very efficient way to produce electricity without negative results. A few things are required in the process which are solar panels, a solar system battery, and an inverter.

Here is the real concern: the batteries, why? Because the batteries need to be replaced after a certain period and batteries would store the electricity which would drive the electronic items. It would be very confusing how to get your hands on the best battery according to your needs and requirements. Here are the details, you need to check before buying the solar system battery:

1. Type of Solar battery:

First of all, make the choice of where you want to install the solar system, like in the office, home, or somewhere else. Then decide where you want to keep the batteries because these batteries come in two forms factors which are tubular batteries and flat plate batteries. 

Flat plate batteries are smaller than tubular batteries so according to the space requirement you can choose which fits your needs. Both types of batteries are made of three chemical compositions such as saltwater, lead acid, and lithium-ion.

2. Storage Capacity of batteries:

The working process of these batteries is used to store the electricity which is converted by the inverter so that you can use the electricity later on. With that thinking, calculate how many electronic devices you want to drive with these batteries and choose the solar system battery which settles your needs and requirements. 

The question comes down to how many batteries you require to power the place. The simple answer is that different appliances use different amounts of electricity. For example, suppose there is one ac unit that takes 4 kW(kilowatts) per hour so  one battery with a storage capacity of 10 kWh can provide power to the ac unit for two and half hours (4 kW*2.5 hours= 10 kWh )

3. Battery Life and Safety:

Battery life means how much electricity can move through the battery in its lifetime. You can increase the battery life with proper care and servicing. 

Before buying batteries make sure it is MNRE certified batteries. MNRE( Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) is authorized to give certification to the solar system battery, inverters, and SPV modules after the safety check. Some of the batteries are a little bit safer than others due to their chemical composition.

4. Price of Batteries:

There are lots of companies that deal with solar system batteries. Every company has its price according to the battery type, capacity, and other factors. As per your need and requirement, you can choose the battery which fits your budget also. Some companies also offer a subsidy on solar system installation. You can also inquire about that where you buy the batteries. 

Conclusion:

It is difficult to say which one has the best solar system battery. It all depends on lots of factors, such as the size of the batter and capacity and the appliances you want to work with. With the above-mentioned information, you can have an amazing discussion regarding solar system batteries at the time of purchase.
