Benefits of Choosing Solar Batteries

Solar power is a remarkable technology, and in many cases may generate more power than the property uses at any one time. Batteries allow property owners to capture that excess energy and store it for later use when solar energy is not available, or if there are power outages.

Just a few benefits of these batteries include:

• Low maintenance costs
• Reduced energy costs
• Reliable continuous power source
• Quiet operation
• Clean, renewable energy
• Keeps your solar system running when the power is out

There is an impressive variety of batteries at a wide range of different capacities to accommodate many different energy needs. It is generally recommended that the average property owner get a battery that can sustain them for around 12 hours of normal energy use, but we can work with you and determine the right option for your unique needs.

How Long Do Solar Batteries Last?

Depending on the type of solar battery you purchase and install, it can last anywhere between 5 to 20 years before you will need to replace it. However, because the life expectancy of newer solar panels continues to increase, experts are saying that many solar battery backup systems will typically last close to 30 years before you need to consider investing in a new one.

Factors that affect the lifespans of solar batteries include:

• Charging and maintenance: Different solar battery backup systems will require different charging times depending on the type, model, and size of the system. It's important that you make sure you're charging your solar battery for the proper amount of time so you can get the most from your system and ensure it will hold as much of a charge as possible. It's also important that you get routine maintenance to ensure your system is in proper working condition.
• Usage: The charge capacity and lifespan of a solar battery backup system depend on its usage. Additionally, different types of batteries have different amounts of cycles. For example, lithium ion batteries can offer 2,000 cycles whereas a GEL battery can have as low as 500 and as high as 5,000 cycles. Deep-cycle batteries can discharge up to 80% of their storage capacity before needing to be recharged.
• Temperature: The solar battery backup system needs to be stored in a place with optimal atmospheric and temperature conditions. Because Hudson Valley experiences its share of snow and cold temperatures, we recommend that you keep your solar battery backup unit in your garage or basement.
