The types of solar batteries most used in photovoltaic installations are lead-acid batteries due to the price ratio for available energy. Its efficiency is 85-95%, while Ni-Cad is 65%. Undoubtedly the best batteries would be lithium-ion batteries, the ones used in mobiles.
Batteries Europe is the platform bringing together all relevant stakeholders in the European batteries research and innovation ecosystem in order to develop and support a competitive battery value chain in Europe.
The batteries have the function of supplying electrical energy to the system at the moment when the photovoltaic panels do not generate the necessary electricity. When the solar panels can generate more electricity than the electrical system demands, all the energy demanded is supplied by the panels, and the excess is used to charge the batteries.
Solar battery technology stores the electrical energy generated when solar panels receive excess solar energy in the hours of the most remarkable solar radiation. Not all photovoltaic installations have batteries. Sometimes, it is preferable to supply all the electrical energy generated by the solar panels to the electrical network.
Currently, most installed batteries in Europe are designed to charge and discharge over relatively short time scales. By the end of 2023, the 16 GW of batteries operating across the EU could store about 23 GWh of power, meaning an average duration of about 1.5 hours if charging/discharging at full power.
Years of strong solar growth and high gas prices have increased electricity price volatility across the EU, strengthening opportunities for battery storage. In turn, batteries can increase power demand at peak solar times, supporting solar revenues.
