Solar batteries are one of the most important components that ensure continuity in solar energy systems. Batteries store the energy generated by solar panels during the day and make this energy available for use during low-sun hours.
Choosing the right battery is critical to the system's efficiency and lifespan. Each battery model addresses different needs with its capacity, chemical composition, lifespan, and price.
With its domestic production capacity, advanced engineering infrastructure, and high-quality standards, Solinved prioritizes both durability and performance in solar battery systems.
In this article, we will examine in detail the types of solar batteries, the factors affecting their prices, and the solutions Solinved offers.
A solar battery is an energy storage unit that stores the energy generated by solar panels and returns it to the system when needed.
This allows solar energy systems to:
Continue to provide energy at night,
During cloudy weather,
During grid power outages.
Solinved's lithium-based solar battery systems offer higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and lower maintenance requirements compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
Solar batteries are divided into several different types based on their chemical structure. Each offers different usage scenarios and cost advantages.
This traditional battery type has been used in solar systems for many years.
Advantages:
Affordable.
Easy to find.
Disadvantages:
Low cycle life (approximately 500–800 cycles),
High weight,
Requires regular maintenance.
Usage Area: Preferred for small-scale systems with short-term energy needs.
This is an improved version of lead-acid batteries. It contains a gel-like material instead of a liquid electrolyte.
Advantages:
Maintenance-free.
Resistant to deep discharge.
More resistant to temperature changes.
Disadvantages:
Charge-discharge efficiency is lower than lithium batteries.
Heavier weight.
Usage: Small systems such as caravans, boats, and summer houses.
In these batteries, the electrolyte is impregnated between glass fiber layers.
Advantages:
Leak-proof.
Resistant to vibration.
Maintenance-free.
Disadvantages:
Limited lifespan (approximately 3–5 years).
Capacity loss may occur during deep discharge.
Usage: Mobile systems, camping vehicles, short-term solar applications.
The most preferred and highest-efficiency battery type in modern solar energy systems.
Advantages:
Charge-discharge efficiency up to 95%,
Long lifespan up to 6,000 cycles,
Lightweight and compact design,
Maintenance-free system,
Stable performance over a wide temperature range.
Area of Use:
Can be used in a variety of applications, from home systems to industrial facilities, from agricultural irrigation to electric vehicle charging stations.
Solinved Lithium Batteries offer long-lasting, safe, and high-performance energy storage solutions with domestically produced power.
Solar battery prices are not fixed; they vary depending on capacity, technology, and performance criteria.
1. Capacity (Ah – Amp-Hour)
As battery capacity increases, so does the amount of energy that can be stored. Consequently, the price increases.
For example: There is typically a 40–60% price difference between a 100Ah battery and a 200Ah battery.
2. Voltage (Voltage – 12V / 24V / 48V)
High-voltage systems are generally used in industrial applications.
48V systems are more efficient but also more expensive.
3. Battery Technology
Lead-acid: Economical but short-lived.
Lithium: High-performance but higher initial cost.
However, lithium batteries offer a more cost-effective solution in the long run.
4. Brand and Quality
Manufacturers with high engineering standards, such as Solinved, offer both longer lifespans and guaranteed technical support.
5. Usage Area and Integration
The compatibility of the battery with inverters, solar drives, or charging systems also affects the price.
High Energy Density: More energy storage capacity in the same volume.
Long Lifespan: 10–15 years of lifespan, over 6,000 cycle counts.
Full Integration: 100% compatibility with Solinved inverter, solar driver, and panel systems.
Smart Management: Safe and balanced energy management with BMS (Battery Management System).
Temperature Resistance: Stable performance from -10°C to +55°C.
Remote Monitoring: Battery status and charge level can be monitored in real time.
Domestic Production and Service Assurance: Manufactured in Turkey and maintained by Solinved's technical support network.
Determine Your Energy Needs: Daily consumption determines battery selection based on system capacity.
Deep Discharge Capacity: Lithium batteries are more resistant to deep discharge.
Efficiency Rate: High-efficiency batteries utilize energy more effectively.
Warranty and Service Support: Choose brands with strong technical service networks, such as Solinved.
Compatibility: The battery you choose should be fully integrated with inverter and solar drive systems.
Solinved offers not only products but also fully integrated energy management solutions in solar battery technologies.
From solar panels to inverter systems, solar drives to lithium batteries, every component works in harmony with each other.
This results in:
A longer-lasting system,
Lower maintenance costs,
Higher energy efficiency.
Solinved's vision is:
"Storing solar energy intelligently, not just generating it."
