Three Big Reasons You Should Pair a Home Battery with Solar

Jan , 10 2022

As residential solar installations increase across the country, homeowners are realizing that investing in solar alone won’t benefit them in the long run. The reason is because most solar energy is produced between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. while (pre COVID-19) you’re probably at work or school. When you return home and start using your electronics and appliances, it’s likely that there isn't enough solar...

3 Reasons to Choose Energy Storage over a Generator during Fire & Hurricane Season: Reason-1

Jan , 10 2022

Past 2 years will stand out in the history books as years that forced us to radically rethink (and adjust) the status quo. As we go into summer, the stability of our electricity grid will be put to the test when many of us are spending most of our time at home. Fire season will begin shortly in different places, with utilities sending out messages about public safety power shutoffs. On the East Co...

How long do solar batteries last?

Jan , 17 2022

There are two ways to answer this question and the first is to determine how long a solar battery can power your home. In many cases, a fully charged battery can run your home overnight when your solar panels are not producing energy. To make a more exact calculation, you’ll need to know a few variables, including how much energy your household consumes in a given day, what the capacity and power ...

Using carbon material in manufacturing process of VRLA battery

Mar , 02 2022

Several types of carbon find various uses in many types of electrochemical power sources. In this article, we focus on implementations of its elemental forms in presently used lead-acid batteries, as well as potential future improvements to their construction that carbon can bring. Unique properties of carbon and a variety of its allotropes allow it to find a use in different parts of lead-acid ba...

How to select solar inverter for your RV off grid system

Mar , 10 2022

Inverters are the final, crucial component to consider when piecing together your solar installation. Inverters turn DC power produced from your solar panels and stored in your battery into AC power. An inverter is necessary to power the common appliances found in your home or RV, from TV’s to microwaves. When shopping around for inverters, you’ll quickly learn there is not a one-size-fits-all app...

The need for a UPS

Mar , 28 2022

There is a common misconception that the utility power we use, except for occasional power outages, is continuous and constant, but it is not. As a public power grid, the mains system is connected to thousands of various loads. Some of the larger inductive, capacitive, switching power supplies and other loads not only obtain power from the power grid, but also cause damage to the power grid itself...

Battery charging tutorial-Part 1

Apr , 18 2022

Current battery charging technology relies on microprocessors (computer chips) to recharge; using 3 stages (or 2 or 4 stages) regulated charging. These are the "smart chargers", and quality units generally are not found in discount stores. The three stages or steps in lead/acid battery charging are bulk, absorption, and float. Qualification or equalization is sometimes considered another stage. A ...

Battery charging tutorial-Part 2

Apr , 18 2022

Equalization Equalization is essentially a controlled over charge. Some charger manufacturers call the peak voltage the charger attains at the end of the BULK mode (absorption voltage) an equalization voltage, but technically it's not. Higher capacity wet (flooded) batteries sometimes benefit from this procedure , particularly the physically tall batteries. The electrolyte in a wet battery can str...
