SOLAR
Solar battery storage: questions to ask
Battery value depends on what you want it to do: backup, load shifting, solar self-consumption or another goal.
Define the backup goal
Ask which circuits or loads the proposed battery can support and for approximately how long under stated assumptions.
System design
Battery capacity, power output, inverter architecture, transfer equipment and installation location all matter.
Warranty and controls
Understand warranty terms, usable capacity, monitoring, operating modes and what happens during an outage.
