Iron Edison - lithium batteries for Solar PV

Daox · 06-09-16, 12:12 PM

I was reading the homepower email I got the other day and in it they shared a company that is selling lithium battery packs for solar PV setups. The prices are pretty steep, but the cycle life is vastly longer than lead. At 80% DOD, they claim ~500 cycles for lead, and 2000 for their lithium pack. At 60% they claim 4000 cycles vs maybe 700-800 with lead. They offer 12V, 24V, and 48V packs with Ah ratings from 180 to 1000. They come in a nice metal enclosure with a battery management system, and probably best of all they are made to work with inverters designed for lead acid systems, so its pretty much plug and play.
