Limited lifespan: Although durable, lead-acid batteries tend to have a shorter lifespan compared to some more expensive alternatives, which may require periodic replacements. In summary, lead-acid batteries are a solid and reliable option for energy storage in photovoltaic systems.
Lead acid batteries are the most commonly used type of battery in photovoltaic systems. Although lead acid batteries have a low energy density, only moderate efficiency and high maintenance requirements, they also have a long lifetime and low costs compared to other battery types.
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.
A lead acid battery consists of electrodes of lead oxide and lead are immersed in a solution of weak sulfuric acid. Potential problems encountered in lead acid batteries include: Gassing: Evolution of hydrogen and oxygen gas. Gassing of the battery leads to safety problems and to water loss from the electrolyte.
One of the singular advantages of lead acid batteries is that they are the most commonly used form of battery for most rechargeable battery applications (for example, in starting car engines), and therefore have a well-established established, mature technology base.
However, due to the corrosive nature the elecrolyte, all batteries to some extent introduce an additional maintenance component into a PV system. Lead acid batteries typically have coulombic efficiencies of 85% and energy efficiencies in the order of 70%.
