BATTERIES BUILT TO LAST: HALF THE COST OR TWICE THE LIFE?

Lithium battery technology is rapidly enabling the electrification of transport, and of the energy sector. However, the batteries themselves can often be seen as a short-lived commodity and as yet, recycling and reuse have not become major priorities in the industry. Dr Amrit Chandan, CEO of UK-headquartered Aceleron Energy discusses what it means to build […]

WHICH BATTERIES TYPE IS BEST FOR SOLAR—FLOODED, SEALED OR LITHIUM?

Solar batteries fall into three main categories. From least to most expensive, they are: Flooded lead-acid batteries use a tried-and-true technology that is more than 100 years old. They require monthly maintenance to stay operational. The main task is refilling the battery with distilled water, which evaporates during the charge cycle. Sealed lead-acid batteries also use a lead-acid […]

DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES INFORMATION WHAT IS A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY?

This type of battery is the key component in many renewable energy systems. A deep cycle battery is used to store electricity and release a steady current over time. Unlike a car battery, which only releases a quick burst of energy to spark the ignition, a deep cycle battery is used when you require a […]

BEST BATTERIES FOR SOLAR: CHOOSE THE BEST FOR YOUR SYSTEM

Solar batteries are a smart investment for energy storage. Without a battery bank, you won’t be able to store energy generated by your system for later use. If you’re tied to the grid, no battery means no backup power when the utility grid suffers an outage. If you live off-grid, your system simply won’t work at […]

Theoretically, two layers are better than one for solar-cell efficiency

Solar cells have come a long way, but inexpensive, thin film solar cells are still far behind more expensive, crystalline solar cells in efficiency. Now, a team of researchers suggests that using two thin films of different materials may be the way to go to create affordable, thin film cells with about 34% efficiency. “Ten […]
