When it comes to storing solar energy, there''s a big question: Should you go with a battery pack or enhance your existing solar panels with batteries? Let''s dive into this topic and make the choice easier for you.
A battery pack which is too large relative to the PV system will not get fully recharged and therefore not be fully available to provide power in the event of a grid failure. Maximum Depth of Discharge: Each battery pack will have a recommended maximum depth of discharge, e.g. lead-acid might be 50% and Lithium Ion might be 90%.
