Lead acid batteries for solar energy storage are called “deep cycle batteries.” Different types of lead acid batteries include flooded lead acid, which require regular maintenance, and sealed lead acid, which don’t require maintenance but cost more.
When it comes to solar power, lead-acid batteries have carved a niche in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Their integration in these systems is pivotal for harnessing and storing solar energy. As sunlight is intermittent, lead-acid batteries ensure that the energy captured during sunny periods is not wasted but stored for later use.
Lead batteries are very well established both for automotive and industrial applications and have been successfully applied for utility energy storage but there are a range of competing technologies including Li-ion, sodium-sulfur and flow batteries that are used for energy storage.
They are commonly used in a variety of applications, from automobiles to power backup systems and, most relevantly, in photovoltaic systems. These batteries are mainly divided into two categories: starter lead-acid batteries and deep cycle lead-acid batteries.
Lead-acid batteries are beneficial for their cost-effectiveness when compared to other battery technologies. This affordability, coupled with their proven track record in energy storage, makes them an attractive option for residential and commercial PV systems.
Lead-acid batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that uses a chemical reaction between lead and sulfuric acid to store and release electrical energy. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, from automobiles to power backup systems and, most relevantly, in photovoltaic systems.
