Batteries for Solar Off Grid or Hybrid System
OK everyone, we have covered solar panels, a solar array, and charge controllers, so the logical next step is for us to discuss batteries. Over the lifetime of your system, Batteries will be the most expensive part because the ones that are cost effective when starting a system don’t last very long and the ones that last a relatively long time are prohibitively expensive. Batteries are the center cog of any system because they store the excess energy produces by your source(solar array, generator, or even the grid) and then distribute that energy when generation falls below need.
