Solar Charge Controllers: What They Are and Why They Matter
A solar charge controller is a vital component of any solar energy system, serving as the bridge between your solar panels and battery bank.
Islanding and Battery Backup: Essential Information You Need to Know
Islanding refers to the ability of a solar power system to continue operating independently from the grid during an outage, while battery backup systems store excess energy for use when…
Is a Lead-Acid Battery the Right Choice for Your Solar Storage System?
Lead-acid batteries remain a viable and cost-effective option for solar energy storage, especially for those with budget constraints or moderate energy needs.
Solar Battery Basics: Chemistry and Coupling
The right battery for you depends on whether it’s a retrofit or part of a new solar system, how often you plan to use it, and the available space.
Calculating the Number of Solar Batteries Needed
To maximize savings, you’ll typically need two to three batteries to ensure coverage for your energy needs during periods when your solar panels aren’t generating power.
Do All Batteries Come with Built-In Inverters?
Batteries or battery packs without an integrated inverter must be paired with an external, third-party inverter to connect to your solar panel system and home.
What Are the Benefits of AC vs. DC Solar Battery Coupling?
AC-coupled batteries are ideal for integrating a battery into an already existing solar panel system.
