How Does a Solar Battery Work?
A quick explanation of solar panel systems might be helpful to start with. There are several types of solar panel systems. Some require a battery back up (or bank) and others are directly wired from solar panels to the solar powered device. In regards to the solar powered systems that require or utilize a battery, there are a few different types: • 12-volt DC used for RV lighting, boat lighting, and appliances. • Inverter battery systems that are capable of converting 12, 24, or 48-volt DC battery voltage into a 120-volt AC that can operate regular household appliances such as a stove, refrigerator, water heater, TV, etc. • Hybrid solar power systems utilizes several energy providing components such as a battery bank powered by solar panels, solar array, generators, and wind turbine used to provide energy on a 24/7 basis. When it comes to solar battery banks, each is designed for a specific charge or discharge level. Some are manufactured wet cells where are manufactured sealed or gel
