When it comes to storing energy for solar systems, lead-acid batteries play a crucial role. These batteries store the excess electricity generated by solar panels during daylight hours. The stored energy is then available for use when the sun is not shining, such as at night or on cloudy days.
Lead-acid batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that uses a chemical reaction between lead and sulfuric acid to store and release electrical energy. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, from automobiles to power backup systems and, most relevantly, in photovoltaic systems.
Limited lifespan: Although durable, lead-acid batteries tend to have a shorter lifespan compared to some more expensive alternatives, which may require periodic replacements. In summary, lead-acid batteries are a solid and reliable option for energy storage in photovoltaic systems.
Key Features of Deep Cycle Lead Acid Batteries: They are constructed from thicker, denser plates compared to starter batteries, allowing them to withstand repeated charge and discharge cycles. They have a higher energy storage capacity compared to starter batteries, making them suitable for applications where long-term storage is needed.
One of the singular advantages of lead acid batteries is that they are the most commonly used form of battery for most rechargeable battery applications (for example, in starting car engines), and therefore have a well-established established, mature technology base.
Lead acid batteries store energy by the reversible chemical reaction shown below. The overall chemical reaction is: P b O 2 + P b + 2 H 2 S O 4 ⇔ c h a r g e d i s c h a r g e 2 P b S O 4 + 2 H 2 O At the negative terminal the charge and discharge reactions are:
