Solar batteries are of the really deep cycle type, providing energy storage for solar, wind and other renewable energy systems. Unlike a car battery, a deep cycle battery is capable of surviving prolonged, repeated and deep discharges

Selecting a proper battery for solar photovoltaic systems requires a complete analysis of the battery discharge requirements. The factors taken into consideration while sizing up the battery are operating temperature variations, environmental temperature extremes, weekly/daily usage, the voltage regulator design and the efficiency of the inverter. Also, the energy required to charge a battery will be the sum of the previous discharge energy output and the energy expended as work and excess heat during the recharge. Longer charge times and lower charge currents tend to increase charge efficiency.
In lead acid batteries, turnaround energy efficiency can approach 85 per cent. Shorter charge times and higher charge currents will come at the expense of energy efficiency and battery life. The charge time and power available from the solar array must therefore be considered when selecting the battery type and size.
The battery’s operating life in the solar PV system is a function of the operating temperature, the duty cycle, the depth of discharge, the charge control and the cell design. A significantly higher average operating temperature decreases life, and the number of available charge-discharge cycles decreases with increasing depth of discharge.
Featured here are some of the latest renewable energy batteries in the market.

Products available in the market

Su-Kam
Product: Solar battery – 20Ah/12V-220Ah
Su-Kam batteries, are built to last longer and are rugged enough to be used in any weather conditions.
Homes located in remote areas without access to grid power often depend on off-grid renewable energy systems to meet their power requirements. In such cases, energy systems designed to store solar, wind and hybrid power play a critical role in providing uninterrupted power when the sun doesn’t shine or the wind does not blow.
Su-Kam Solar batteries are designed with a C10 rating and are engineered for the long life requirements of off-grid/hybrid and DC based systems as well as residential systems. Home owners can optimise their renewable energy systems and dramatically reduce operating costs when powering their homes in remote areas—whether they use solar panels, wind turbines, or a combination of different sources in a hybrid system.

Su-kamKey features

  • Su-Kam Solar batteries are designed at a C10 rating for deep discharge performance
  • They have the capacity to sustain a partial state of discharge
  • The Ah efficiency of the battery is >90 per cent, whereas the Wh efficiency is >= 75 per cent and the endurance test meets IS 13369:1992 standards
  • Operating costs are quite low; hence, it’s pocket-friendly
  • Su-Kam Solar batteries need water topping twice a year unlike other batteries which need this at least four times or more, annually
  • These solar batteries are MNRE approved
