BATTERIES

All standalone and battery-backup PV systems require battery storage. Photovoltaic modules charge the batteries during daylight hours and the batteries supply the power when it is needed, often at night and during cloudy weather. Utility gridtie systems supply power directly to the utility grid; no battery storage is needed. The two most common types of rechargeable batteries in use today are lead-acid and alkaline. Lead acid batteries have plates made of lead, mixed with other materials, submerged in a sulfuric acid solution. We sell 3 types of lead acid batteries, Gel, AGM and deep cycle lead acid. Call us for estimated shipping costs.
