Picking right battery for solar key to optimal performance —  Yan

Selecting the right battery for solar system is crucial for optimal performance and efficiency, The Marketing Manager, BLUETTI, Benjamin Yan, has said.

He added that LiFePO4 batteries, such as those offered by BLUETTI, provide outstanding safety, stability, and long-term cost performance.

“Whether you have a household or small-scale solar system, BLUETTI offers top-notch battery solutions tailored to your needs.

“Solar power is on trend as a free and sustainable energy source. You may have already installed a solar system on your roof and are benefiting from it. But merely a solar system isn’t a sure card. What if there’s a long power outage occurring just on rainy days?

Yan noted that without an efficient battery, excess solar power is wasted.

“Storing extra solar energy in batteries, however, allows you to use it later at any time, reducing your dependence on the grid and saving on utility bills. Some batteries support grid connection and allow you to sell the excess energy back to the grid, so you can even earn money from your solar system.

According to him, some of the mainstream battery types and their features:
Lead-acid batteries offer high surge currents and have a relatively high energy density. Yet, they have a shorter lifespan and require regular maintenance.

Nickel-cadmium batteries are known for their durability and ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
