What Is Solar Battery Storage?
Solar battery storage is a system that allows you to store electricity generated by your solar panels during the day for use at night or during power outages. It reduces your reliance on the grid and can potentially save you more money on energy bills.
Solar battery storage systems typically consist of three main components:
- Photovoltaic solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity.
- An inverter that converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which your home appliances use.
- A battery that stores the excess electricity generated.
Get the Backup Solution That Meets Your Needs
For New Jersey residents looking to pair solar panels with the right backup power solution for them, Solar Me provides a range of options both in different types of storage or alternative means of energy production.
When it comes to battery backup systems, there are four main technologies used today for solar energy storage: lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries.
Lead-Acid
Cost: Least expensive
Efficiency: 80%-90%
Life Cycle: 300-500 cycles
Storage Capacity: 10-100 kWhBenefits: Inexpensive but have a shorter lifespan.
Lithium-Iron
Cost: More expensive
Efficiency: 90%-99%
Life Cycle: 2,000 - 5,000 cycles
Storage Capacity: 10-100 kWhBenefits: Highest efficiency, longest lifespan, but expensive.
Flow
Cost: Most expensive
Efficiency: 70%-80%
Life Cycle: 5,000 - 10,000 cycles
Storage Capacity: 10-100 kWhBenefits: Long lifespan and can release energy over long periods, but requires large, complex systems.
Nickel-Cadmium
Cost: Average price
Efficiency: 80%-90%
Life Cycle: 1,000 - 2,000 cycles
Storage Capacity: 10-100 kWhBenefits: Robust and tolerant of overcharging, but contain toxic metals.
Backup Batteries for Businesses
Backup battery systems store excess solar energy and provide businesses with power during utility outages or when it doesn’t shine. Today’s lithium-ion batteries are a popular, cost-effective storage option that can be scaled up to meet your largest commercial building’s energy needs.

FAQ
How long can solar energy be stored?
Solar batteries keep solar power stored for a few hours or up to a few days, depending on the size, type, and amount of solar energy generated.
How many solar batteries are needed to power a house?
The number of solar batteries needed to power a house depends on the size of the solar array, the home's energy usage, and the desired level of backup power.
Will I have power during a blackout?
If your solar system is connected to the utility grid and you do not have a battery, it will not work during a power outage. To have power during an outage, you need a battery storage system.
