Batteries
why batteries are important
In any solar system batteries or some energy storage device are key components. without them you are limited by the sun for your power. a good sized battery bank can allow you to store the excess power you collect throughout the day. Allowing you to run your system at night or in poor sunlight conditions. We recommend at least a 20kWh battery bank, this will allow you to have plenty of storage to run things like your fridge, TVs, phone chargers, laptops, lights and even an AC or two at night!
Battery features
there are many types of batteries and many different features to look out for. they type of battery you get depends on your budget and the features you need. for example if you live in a colder climate you might be more interested in a battery with an internal heater. there are different batteries that come in smaller form factors or bigger batteries with bigger capacity no matter what your use it is smart to do some research for the best fit for you.
