Energy Storage

Create your Energy Battery bank to supply your Solar Energy array, professionally.

 

Most solar energy systems utilize flooded batteries, which emit hydrogen gas and should be stored in a well-ventilated place away from the living area. A garage, protected shed or enclosed porch is ideal. It is best to store your batteries in a sturdy, well-vented battery box. A better approach is storing batteries in a well-insulated space with sufficient thermal mass and protection from direct sunlight. AGM and other no- or low-maintenance batteries can be stored inside a home. Flooded batteries should be stored in a locked, well-vented box in a garage or shed.

A battery bank is the result of joining two or more batteries together for a single application to store energy.
Battery packs allow you to store you solar energy or wind energy and use it when you want it.

 

 

 

There are 2 ways to successfully connect two or more batteries. The first is Series and the second is Parallel.

- Series adds the voltage of the two batteries, but keeps the same amperage rating (also known as Amp Hours).
- The other type of connection is Parallel. Parallel connections will increase your current rating, but the voltage will stay the same.

 

Battery Banks – Deep Cycle Batteries for off-grid solar power or back-up systems.
The battery bank of any off-grid renewable energy power system is one of the most complicated and costly components in your installation.

We offer 12V, 24V, or 48 Volt battery banks for use with most applications.

Battery banks are typically connected to a charge controller which acts like a tap, diverting power if the batteries reach capacity. The charge controller stands between the solar panels or wind turbines and the battery. Energy generated by the turbine or solar array will come in as DC, and this is how it's stored in the battery. The output of the battery is connected to an inverter, where the current is converted from DC to AC so that it can be fed into the mains power in your home - or possibly also to the grid.
