Solar Power Batteries for Sale

Solar power batteries are a critical element of any self-sustaining home energy system. They provide greater flexibility and control over energy usage, save money and reduce electricity grid dependence. Off Grid Solar Kits is an Australian-owned and operated business offering an unrivalled selection of premium-quality batteries for solar power storage.

Types of Batteries for Solar Power Storage

• Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
  Most commonly found in residential solar power systems, lithium-ion solar power batteries are prized for their high energy density and superb efficiency. 

• Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)
  A step up from typical lithium batteries for solar power storage, LFP solar power batteries tend to have a longer lifespan and superior thermal stability.

• Lead-acid
  Considered a reliable, cost-effective option, lead-acid batteries for solar power storage are bulky and typically do not last as long as other options. 

• Flow batteries
  Flow solar power batteries have an extended cycle life. Due to their modular nature, they provide easy scalability.

• Saltwater
  Still considered an ‘emerging’ technology, saltwater solar power batteries use non-toxic, renewable materials and are environmentally friendly. They cannot yet match traditional versions regarding safety and energy density but are cost-effective and easily scalable.  
  
  
  
  

Calculate What Size Solar Power Battery You Need

Convenient online calculators are available to perform the calculations yourself, the steps are as follows: 

• Determine daily consumption—Study your energy bill or use an energy monitor

• Decide your preferred period of grid-autonomy—One to three days is common

• Calculate storage requirements—Daily energy usage x days of autonomy = energy storage required in kWh

Solar Power Battery Product Recommendations

When considering your Off Grid solar design, the following factors should be taken into account.

• Capacity (kWh)—This indicates how much energy the solar power battery can store.

• Power (kW)—How much energy the battery can deliver.

• Battery type 

• Depth of Discharge (DoD)—The percentage of the battery that can be depleted without damaging the unit. 

• Cycle life—The number of charge/discharge cycles a battery can undergo before significant degradation. 

• Efficiency—How much energy is lost during charging/discharging. 

• Expected lifespan

• Warranty 

• Cost

• Compatibility—Your chosen solar power battery storage must be compatible with your existing or intended system.

• Safety features—Some solar power batteries have in-built safety features, including thermal management and overcharge protection.

• Scalability—Whether capacity can be reduced or expanded. Modular systems are preferred for this. 

• Environmental considerations—From the sourcing and sustainability of materials to their potential for recycling.  

The best way to decide on the perfect batteries for solar power storage at your location is to speak with the experts at Off Grid Solar Kits. They will provide all the information, advice, and guidance you need.
