Why does a home inverter battery is needed in a Solar Panel System?

The home inverter battery is the powerhouse of the solar power system. It stores the energy generated by the photovoltaic cells and then can be used to power the house during the night.

Features:

  • What kind of battery is used in the inverter is new, high-efficiency, high-power, low-maintenance, fully imported field-effect integrated module production, and the efficiency is as high as 98%-100%.
  • Full protection equipped with digital power indicator and power adjustment circuit, with fast overload protection, output short circuit protection, battery reverse connection protection, ultrasonic low-frequency electric field output, safe for people
  • The frequency feedback circuit has an adjustable, locked circuit and voltage phase relationship to avoid load fluctuations caused by changes in ambient temperature and water level factors.
  • The low-fault power feedback circuit has the ability to limit the maximum power and maximum current, and effectively protect the switch tube from damage.

What kind of inverter battery is good for inverter?

It is required to use a power lithium battery with a larger discharge current. It depends on what you do. If it is outdoor, the battery is heavier. It is recommended to choose lithium battery for light weight. However, the price of lithium batteries is relatively high. If you use it indoors, in a car, and don’t carry around at will, the battery is more cost-effective, with strong endurance and low price.

Why a battery is necessary for a solar power system?

To understand the role of an energy storage, we first need to discuss how a standard solar panel installation works when connected to the power grid and without a home inverter battery.

Photovoltaic panels use the sun's rays and generate energy in the form of direct current. The direct current goes to an inverter, where it is converted into alternating current, identical to that in the electrical outlet. 

Solar panels generate more electricity in summer than in winter. When the days are cloudy, the performance of the panels drops, but they are far from idle. The generated kilowatt hours are consumed on an ongoing basis by the equipment operating during the day. In turn, they are really idle at night. What happens to the unused excess electricity produced during the day? It goes to the grid.

What if you go off-grid?

If you add a photovoltaic battery to the installation, the excess electricity does not go to the grid, but is stored in it. Properly selected batteries for photovoltaic installations are large enough to collect part of the surplus from the production cycle and can return it in the evening, at night and in the morning until the next cycle begins.

In a word, batteries reduce losses resulting from surplus on a daily basis, which also translates to a certain extent into a surplus on a seasonal scale.

A home inverter battery can also store energy taken from the grid. This is beneficial when you buy cheaper energy at night and then use it during peak times when electricity is noticeably more expensive. However, if you have the right amount of solar panels, this can only happen in winter or when you increase the demand for energy.
