Solar Batteries

Solar batteries are available in many different technologies and capacities. Lithium-ion batteries with a built-in battery management system and high cycle life are increasingly becoming popular and affordable. With the battery being the heart of any back-up power system, choosing the correct solar battery technology and capacity is an important step in the design of a solar or back-up power system to meet the customer’s requirements.

Since South Africa’s supply from the national grid has become inconsistent or unreliable, batteries have become a critical portion of the renewable energy sector’s requirement.

A complete solar system with solar batteries sized for the customer’s requirements provides both security of supply during load shedding and grid failures, as well as electricity cost savings from own energy generation through solar panels. It is advantageous, empowering and an excellent long-term investment.
