Solar Battery Reference Guide

Discover everything you need to know about solar batteries and energy storage systems with our comprehensive reference guide.

How a Solar PV System Works?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems convert sunlight directly to electricity. Solar panels are a reliable energy source that produce electricity, without noise or air pollution, from a clean, renewable resource. Many PV system components are manufactured right here in Australia and PV technology is becoming Australia’s energy source of choice for the 21st century.


Battery Energy 

Storage Systems

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) involve rechargeable batteries to store electrical energy, enabling its release at a later time when needed. This technology plays a crucial role in enhancing grid stability, supporting renewable energy integration, and providing backup power solutions.

Life Cycle 

Flow Battery
Flow batteries are a relatively new technology in the battery storage sector. Redox flow batteries store the electrolytes in external tanks apart from the battery centre.
Nickel-Cadmium Battery
Nickel-cadmium battery is a type  of rechargeable battery using nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes. The electrolyte is an alkaline solution.



Different Types of Batteries

Lead Acid Battery
A lead acid battery is a relatively common large-capacity rechargeable battery that uses the lead submerged into the sulphuric acid to allow a controlled chemical reaction.


Lithium-ion Battery
A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a rechargeable battery that stores energy through the reversible reduction of lithium ions.  



When it comes to selecting a solar battery, it is never an easy task. There are few factors a homeowner needs to consider before choosing the best home battery. For deciding between all the available battery storage brands, you should know about their storage capacity, lifespan, maintenance, etc. Also, the Price of the battery matters in battery selection.
To guide you in selecting the best solar storage for your PV solar system, we have compared the features of a few major brands in the Australian market here
