Solar Batteries

A solar battery is a device that you can add to your solar power system to store the excess electricity generated by your solar panels. You can then use that stored energy to power your home at times when your solar panels don’t generate enough electricity, including nights, cloudy days, and during power outages.

  • A battery has a cathode and anode, which are opposite kinds of electrical terminals. They are separated by an electrolyte, which facilitates electrical transference
  • The battery is attached to an exterior circuit. As electrons go through the circuit, their ions go through the electrolyte
  • The ions move between the cathode and anode and increase chemical potential energy, which results in the battery being charged
