Storage batteries

The new storage systems are composed of the latest generation lithium-ion batteries that have a much longer life than the old-concept batteries.Lightweight and compact, lithium batteries are able to store the energy generated by the photovoltaic system and supply it when required, generally in the evening, limiting the consumption of energy taken from the grid to a minimum.Storage systems with lithium batteries are most used in domestic photovoltaic systems where energy accumulations ranging from 3 Kwh up to 10-15 kwh are required. Generally these latest generation storage systems are modular, in the sense that it is Multiple battery modules can be purchased and connected in parallel in order to increase the capacity of the energy reserve.

Lead-acid batteries are the oldest and today the most widespread technology used for energy storage. Used for starting the engines of cars, motorcycles, boats, etc. but also for millions and millions of off-grid and on-grid photovoltaic systems. This type of battery has the enormous advantage of being extremely reliable. The latest construction types of AGM and GEL batteries are free of gas emissions, therefore also very safe, and guarantee a slow release of the stored energy. Some lead-acid batteries are able to guarantee even 5000 life cycles so as to be able to obtain the exclusivity as regards the storage system to be used in medium and large applications.
