Are you ready to install an efficient and reliable home battery backup solution?

Home battery options for your solar system

To choose the right solar battery storage for your home, you must understand the different options available in the market. Below are the three most common types of solar batteries.

Flow batteries

Flow batteries come with newer technology and are less common than lithium-ion and flooded lead-acid batteries. They store energy in liquid electrolytes, offer long life cycles, and are able to discharge power completely without getting damaged. However, flow batteries are the most expensive of the three options.

Lithium-ion
batteries

Lithium-ion solar batteries are one of the most popular options in the market. They are known for their long lifespan, deep discharge capabilities, and high efficiency. However, lithium batteries tend to be more expensive than other types of solar batteries.

Flooded lead-acid batteries

These are more affordable off grid solar batteries. However, flooded lead-acid batteries are less efficient than lithium batteries. Plus, they have shorter life spans and require regular maintenance.

How to choose the best solar batteries for your home
