Project Description
Solar energy is one of the most powerful and advanced energy sources since all renewable energy sources began to work. The problem with photovoltaic solar is that it is the most widely used and an energy source that attempts to accumulate and utilize all the energy we receive from the sun in solar panels. To be able to use solar power at night or on a cloudy night, you need solar cells. When PV panels are inoperable, batteries power themselves up when needed most.
How do solar battery work
The storage of solar energy and renewable energy in general has always been a headache. It’s great to be able to accumulate the energy we collect and use it, or transport it all the way to where we need it. In this case, there are some storage systems like solar cells. Sometimes, a lot of dark clouds, nights and rain can block solar radiation. In this case, the photovoltaic panels are unable to produce energy or there is insufficient energy, and we pull out the energy stored in the battery.
Batteries are charged when we generate more energy than we need. When we’re sunny and there’s little wind, it’s easy to generate more electricity than we consume. It is during these moments that excess energy is diverted to charge the solar cells. Osman Energy Technology is a leading energy storage system manufacturer in China. As LiFePo4 battery supplier. Provides reliable power backup storage systems worldwide.
OSM48100 is designed for small home energy storage system. As a 48v battery bank, it allow to add more modules to increase the capacity. Simply connect with solar panel and convertors. It’s a simple products just ready to power on any small project.
Types of solar battery
Low cycle battery
This type of solar cell has been designed to meet the needs of a building or house in a relatively short period of time. It’s actually designed for those electrical demands that suffer from some very high peaks. At that time, the battery helps to complete the power supply, so there is no interruption at any time.
These batteries cannot withstand much discharge, as they start to wear out and deteriorate. Like cell phone batteries, they have a fixed charge and discharge cycle, which is called the lifespan. If we continuously discharge the battery below 20%, it will put a lot of stress on it and will shorten its lifespan.
48v 10kwh lifepo4 battery
Deep cycle battery
These are designed to reach 80% capacity to discharge more times. Usually, it’s the most used and best option because you don’t have to worry about its use as they don’t deteriorate quickly. OSM battery has obtained the EU CE certification, and the safety of the battery is guaranteed. Currently, their products are sold worldwide.
The main features
Charging efficiency is another aspect to consider when choosing a solar cell. This parameter shows us the relationship between the energy used to charge it to the maximum and the energy we are accumulating. Some batteries take a long time to charge, so we consume more energy than we store. In this case, the energy balance is negative, so we will waste money and electricity charging the battery. The closer you get to 100% efficiency, the higher the quality of the product. The OSM high-voltage lithium battery uses lithium iron phosphate cells, which are safer and more reliable, with high efficiency and excellent performance, providing strong power for home power supply.
You have to look carefully at self-discharge. Of course, you’ve heard that the battery is completely discharged if it’s not used. This is a process of energy accumulation that tends to be released when not in use.
Nursing factor
Once we have purchased solar cells, there are certain factors that must be considered in order to maintain them and make them last as long as possible. Typically, solar cells have a lifespan of 10 years, and if we continuously discharge them to less than 50%, the lifespan of these batteries is greatly shortened. Therefore, take care to install enough capacity so as not to discharge less than 50% of the electricity continuously.
Temperature is an important factor. Generally, we should keep it between 20 and 25 degrees. If this temperature is frequently changed to 10 degrees above or below the previous value, this temperature can last half as long.
