What are solar battery and what do they do?

Solar battery, as the name suggests, is a container for storing energy, similar to other batteries. When your photovoltaic roof tiles capture energy during the day and you don't need to use it for a while, you can store it temporarily in your battery for use at night. Of course, if your solar roof system is not equipped with a battery, you will only be able to send the electricity generated to the national grid to earn a profit.

A solar energy storage system is a green energy supply solution that provides reliable power to your loads and reduces your electricity costs. It converts solar energy into electricity through solar roof tiles, and realises the dual function of energy storage and power supply through solar battery, which is not dependent on the grid and guarantees the quality and stability of your electricity consumption.

It works as follows: when there is light, the photovoltaic panels convert solar energy into electricity, and the excess electricity charges the battery after meeting the household use; when there is no light or the electricity generated by the solar roof tiles can not meet the daily use, you can get the energy from the battery. The larger the battery capacity, the more energy you can store, which reduces your dependence on the grid and eases the pressure on your electricity bill.

1. Storage of excess solar energy

The ability to store excess solar energy is one of the most important features of a battery. This makes your life much easier. Although sunlight is a free resource and ubiquitous, geographic location and climate can affect the amount of power generated by a solar roof system, with a solar battery, you can control more energy.

2. Make the most of your resources

With a solar roof system equipped with a solar battery, you will be able to use more energy. Since the solar battery stores the energy generated during the day, you will have a continuous supply of renewable energy throughout the day. This means that you will be able to rely more on green energy and that it will not be wasted.

3. Environmental protection

Solar energy storage systems not only save energy costs, but also reduce CO2 emissions and environmental pollution. We take the utilisation and cost of each unit of electricity very seriously, taking into account the local light and climate conditions to achieve the best match. We are committed to providing users with efficient, environmentally friendly, energy-saving power solutions.

The best thing about solar battery is that you can use electricity at night or on blackout days without any interruption, which makes your life easier, which is very important at some point.

Selecting and configuring a solar battery requires consideration of several factors, including the system's energy requirements, budget, available space, and maintenance conditions. Here are some basic suggestions:

1. Determine the demand

Firstly, you need to define your energy requirements, including the required voltage and current. This will have a direct impact on the number of solar batteries you choose and how they are connected.

2. Select the battery

When choosing a battery, you need to consider the type, capacity, voltage and life span of the battery. Currently, there are several types of batteries on the market, including lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages, which need to be selected according to the specific needs and budget.

3.Configuration of solar battery

When configuring batteries, make sure that all batteries are new and have the same specifications. This is because if the batteries are of different ages, capacities or voltages, this may lead to a drop in performance or premature failure of some batteries.

Proper maintenance of the solar battery is essential to ensure its long-term stable operation. The following are some basic maintenance suggestions:

1. Regularly check the voltage and current of the battery to make sure it is within the normal range.

2. Clean the dust and dirt on the battery surface regularly to avoid affecting the performance of the battery.

3. Avoid overcharging or over-discharging the battery, which may result in a shorter battery life.

4. If the battery is damaged, it should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid affecting the performance of the whole solar roof system.
