SOLAR BATTERY TERMINOLOGY
If you have made some research on solar
batteries, you must have come across a few
recurring terms on the way. We have discussed
them in detail below. Storage size or capacity
The capacity of a solar battery refers to how
much energy it can store. The higher the KW
(KiloWatt) per hour, the higher is the power of
the battery. Power Output It refers to how much
power it can discharge in one hour. Hence, the
higher the number of kWh, the more equipments it
can power. Cycles Cycles refer to the number of
rounds of charging and discharging possible in
that battery. A battery can degrade over time,
but modern, cost-effective batteries should last
up to thousands of cycles for longevity.
