Your guide to solar panel battery storage
How solar batteries work. Solar panel batteries store the surplus energy produced during the day and release it for use when the sun is not shining. There are two main battery technologies currently used: lithium-ion and lead-acid. Both types are designed to handle the cyclic charging and discharging necessary for solar energy storage.
