What is life time of LIFEPO4 Lithium Solar Batteries?
SankoPower produce Lifepo4 solar batteries for its off grid solar system. Solar batteries are very necessary solar components of a residential solar system. According to recent data, 7 out of 10 solar panel shoppers express interest in adding a battery to their solar systems. Home energy storage lets you keep the excess electricity your solar panels produce during the day and use it when you need it most, such as back-up power during a power outage, at night, or when utility rates are the highest.
We understand that solar storage is a significant, long-term investment in your home. That’s why we’re answering common questions about the life expectancy of a solar battery to help you understand the benefits of switching to renewable energy.
How Long Does a Solar Battery Last?
Home solar battery units last anywhere between 2 and 15 years, depends on battery type. If you decide to install a solar battery today, it’s almost certain you’ll need a replacement in the future.
What are factors that affect home solar battery Life?
A. Your Solar Battery Type will affect home solar battery life.
If you’re asking, “What are the best batteries for solar power? " then you need to know that solar power batteries are made with one of three different chemical compositions: lead acid, lithium ion, or saltwater. Of the three types, lithium-ion batteries (also known as li-ion batteries) are the most common sources of energy storage for a home solar system.
What is Lead-Acid Batteries:
Lead-acid batteries have been used in off-grid energy systems for decades, and while they’re one of the least expensive options on the market, lead-acid batteries have a shorter lifespan, and lower depth of discharge (DoD) compared to lithium-ion batteries. The opposite of charging, a battery’s DoD reflects the amount of power the battery is able to discharge relative to its full kilowatt-hours (kWh) capacity.
What is Lithium-Ion Batteries:
When it comes to home energy storage systems, SankoPower Lithium Ion Solar Batteries are the gold standard because they're lighter, more compact, and have a longer lifespan and higher DoD than lead-acid batteries. Not only that, but higher demand has decreased the cost of lithium-ion batteries by 85%, making solar power backed by solar storage that much more attainable.
What is Saltwater Batteries:
Unlike lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, saltwater batteries don’t contain heavy metals and instead rely on saltwater electrolytes. This makes saltwater batteries more environmentally friendly and allows them to be easily recycled.
Still, as a new technology, saltwater batteries remain somewhat untested. If you’re looking to maximize your solar energy potential, lithium-ion batteries will offer the most reliable source of power.
B. Solar Battery’s usage will affect the life.
The life expectancy of a solar battery is mostly determined by its usage cycles. Luckily, most solar batteries are generally deep-cycle batteries, which allows them to discharge up to 80% of their stored energy before recharging.
For example, SankoPower produce and offer deep cycle LIFEPO4 solar batteries with 1500 circles, 3000 circles and 5000 circles. And SankoPower’s solar cell is from the top manufacturer BYD and CATL, which can maximum the solar batteries’ reliability.
Some battery banks need to be manually discharged before recharging. With SankoPower, your solar battery charges automatically to avoid overcharging and to ensure your battery stays healthy and efficient for as long as possible.
Solar Battery Temperature:
Depending on where you live, where you install your battery storage system at home can make a huge difference. This is because your battery unit should be kept at an optimal temperature to maximize its life and efficiency.
Solar Battery Warranty
Solar battery manufacturers offer a wide range of warranties for their battery products. Typically, lead-acid batteries are found on the low-end of the warranty spectrum, and lithium-ion batteries are covered for 2-5 years or more.
Solar Battery Maintenance
Proper maintenance will play a key role in your solar battery’s longevity.
