What are the best types of batteries for off-grid small solar power systems


There are many types for batteries available for off grid solar power systems as follows:

1. Lead acid battery with or without maintenance

2. Lithium ion battery/ LiFePo4 battery

If you have enough space available & cost is concern, you can go with the lead acid battery. If you need light weight option which can give you more energy  & uses less space, you can go for lithium battery. 

The another advantage of lithium battery is that , it can be discharged for 100% unlike lead acid battery which can be used for upto 70% of its rated capacity.

Is a Smart Meter For Solar Power a Good Idea?

Image
The power generated by solar power can be measured by inbuilt meter. This can be seen on LCD display available onto the inverter. Some inverter don’t have the LCD display, so the solar power can be measured by the mobile app which is connected to the inverter with Bluetooth. Many of the solar grid connected inverters comes with the inbuilt data logger. If internet is provided to the data logger all power generation data can be seen on web portal/mobile app. The advantage of having this smart meter is that all power generation can be observed real time and faults can be notified immediately.  Click here to know more about  solar power system

How Does Solar Energy Play An Important Role In Protecting The Environment?

Image
  Solar energy is one of the easily available sources of energy that can be accessed from anywhere. With the latest development, there are various methods and techniques to harness solar energy and convert it into another form of energy like thermal energy, electrical energy, light energy. Using solar photovoltaic cells to capture the incident solar energy and produce the required form of energy is one of the common methods of harnessing solar energy. It can be used for a variety of uses like generating electricity, heating water, comfortable interior environment, providing light, etc. The solar power system consists of a few basic components like solar collectors that absorbs the incident solar energy, battery-related components to store the produced energy, mounting structure that carries the load of the entire system. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable source of energy that is easily available everywhere hence there are no geographical limitations to utilizing

What is the Most Efficient Solar System for Home Use

Image
There are many types of solar water systems for home use such as solar power generating system, solar water heating system, small off grid solar systems. If your aim is to have solar system then you can go for the solar grid connected system. This is more efficient than the off grid (with battery) system, as it requires little maintenance. It has designed life of about 25 years. So installing grid connected system for your home can be a wise decision. If you are using larger part of electricity for water hearting purpose, you can go for solar water heating system .
