Battery banks give a constant level of electrical power and stores energy produced from the large rooftop solar system (>500kW approximately) during the day and power appliances at night. For large scale rooftop solar systems, we need batteries with long, reliable life and low cost of ownership. Today’s batteries are better than ever before and […]
Why we need batteries for solar PV systems?
The vast majority of PV systems today are grid-connected. If the grid fails, power cannot be drawn from the PV systems even when the sun is shining. This is a precaution taken to protect the utility workers repairing the failed lines. So you’ve the PV systems (which you’ve […]

Batteries are one of the complex parts of a solar system and are highly likely to run into problems. Considering the fact that they do not last as long as the solar panels, regular maintenance and adequate care is necessary to prolong their life and ensure efficient functioning.
The ultimate goal of battery maintenance is to […]
Need for batteries
Batteries are required for rooftop solar power plants to increase the reliability of power generation from the solar power system. As solar is an infirm power source, batteries are required to ensure uninterrupted power supply from the rooftop solar power plant.
How much battery is required?
The capacity of the battery (also called battery sizing) […]
Need for batteries for rooftop solar power plants
For infirm power sources such as solar, batteries are required to make the power source more firm and reliable. Thus, for uninterrupted power supply through rooftop solar, use of batteries is inevitable today.
Types of batteries used for rooftop solar power plants
In practice, the two main types of batteries […]

Sweet Answer from Solar Mango: (updated Jul 2015)
While solar power plants around the world use either lead acid batteries or Li-ion (Lithium ion) batteries, the former is the more commonly used batteries.
So, a question that naturally arises is: Is there anything different between the lead acid batteries we use elsewhere and those that are used […]
