Solar Batteries benefit everyone from homeowners wanting to reduce their electricity bills to businesses looking for a cost-effective way to meet their energy demands throughout the day without having to purchase from ACTEW.
We have professionals in our team who will advise you on the best solar battery storage option for your needs and budget. We have a range of solar batteries available at Solar Power Canberra, so whether you’re looking for a small battery to store energy for a few hours or a large battery to store energy for several days, we have the perfect option for you.
What are solar batteries?
Solar batteries are devices that store solar energy collected during the daytime to be used at night or during periods of low sunlight. Solar batteries are essential for households and businesses with solar panels as they allow you to use your solar energy when you need it most.
The battery system allows for your solar power to be stored during the day and then used at night or in cloudy conditions when there is no exposure to sunlight. The batteries are charged using photovoltaic panels that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. Solar Power Canberra offers different types of batteries, including various sizes depending on what you require. We feature Sonnen batteries – a company with an international reputation as an innovation leader that provides virtually maintenance-free storage for 15+ years guaranteed.
How much does it cost to install a new battery in my system?
The cost of solar batteries mostly depends on the battery’s size and the brand. However, generally, you can expect to pay around $350-$1,000 per kWh of storage. This price range is quite high, but it is important to remember that batteries offer a lot of value in energy savings and independence from the grid.
What should I look for when choosing solar batteries?
When choosing solar batteries, there are a few factors you’ll need to keep in mind:
– Battery capacity (measured in kWh): This is how much energy the battery can store.
– Cycle life: The number of times the battery can be discharged and recharged before it starts to degrade.
– Depth of discharge (DoD): The percentage of the battery is discharged each time it is used.
– Operating temperature: The higher the temperature, the shorter the battery’s life will be.
What types of solar batteries are available?
There is a range of different solar batteries available on the market, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Some of the most popular types of solar batteries include:
Lead-acid batteries: Lead-acid batteries are one of the oldest types of rechargeable batteries and are relatively cheap but also have a shorter lifespan than other types of solar batteries.
Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries: NiCd batteries are another older type of battery that are cheaper than lithium-ion batteries but have a shorter lifespan.
Lithium-ion batteries: Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most common type of batteries used in solar power systems. They offer extremely high energy density, meaning that more energy can be stored in a smaller amount of space. Lithium-ion is an expensive battery but has a much longer life span than other types of rechargeable batteries, meaning it will need to be replaced less frequently.
