When it comes to the batteries used in solar system,
the best kinds of batteries available out there are deep cycle lead acid
batteries. These are used in solar power system as well as in grid backup
system. There are many companies that produce batteries for the renewable
sources, so it is important that you understand and know about their system,
technology and other performance parameters on the basis of which you would be
buying these batteries.
There are two kinds of batteries available for solar
power system primarily, which are deep cycle flooded lead acid batteries and
deep cycle valve regulated lead acid batteries. Both these cyclic batteries
have their own advantages. Using flooded lead acid batteries is very common due
to its lower cost as well as longer life span. The operation and performance of
these batteries is known, tried and tested and would last a long time.
The valve regulated lead acid batteries are so
designed that it does not require water and its installation is easy. The
transformation of oxygen from positive plate to water ensures that no water is
required. It helps in reducing water loss. Make sure that the battery you buy
for your solar power system is good and from a good brand. As there are many
manufacturers of the same, you need to make sure that you do not only go by the
price, but also the quality. If you buy a cheaper battery, it might look lucrative
in the beginning, but in the long term it would not prove to be cost effective.
The capacity of the battery should be considered as
well as it is what showcases the amount of power it is able to store. Its
voltage should be checked before buying and matched with the solar power system
installed. Choosing a good brand is also important so that you get better
product and service and complete value for money. Do not only go by their
claims, but also check their background, experience, reputation and expertise
in manufacturing deep cycled batteries.
