How is solar energy stored in batteries?

August 17, 2020

Solar batteries work by storing energy produced by your solar panels for later use. In some cases, solar batteries have their own inverter and offer integrated energy conversion. The higher your battery's capacity, the more solar energy it can store.

When you install a solar battery as part of your solar panel system, you are able to store excess solar electricity at your home instead of sending it back to the grid. If your solar panels are producing more electricity than you need, the excess energy goes towards charging the battery. Later, when your solar panels aren’t producing electricity, you can draw down the energy you stored earlier in your battery for night use. You’ll only send electricity back to the grid when your battery is fully charged, and you’ll only draw electricity from the grid when your battery is depleted.

What this means in practical terms is that homes with solar-plus-storage can store excess solar power on site for use later when the sun isn’t shining. As a bonus, since solar batteries store energy at your home, they also offer short-term backup power in the event that there’s a power outage in your area.

Shenzhen Leadray Optoelectronic Company uses LiFePO4 battery for Solar street light.
In our solar light, the battery capacity configuration is 3 times more than the capacity that the lamp is using each day.
It only uses about 1/3 of the total capacity each day, and the rest of energy will be stored on the battery, then can help the street light work longer.
We also have other types of solar light using LiFePO4 battery, such as Solar post top light, solar billboard light and solar parking lot light. If you want to know more info, please browse our website: www.szleadray.com
