🔋We are upgrading our battery storage from flooded lead acid to lithium batteries.
📊The new battery monitoring system allows us to accurately measure the state of charge and power usage.
☀️We are expanding our solar panel array with more powerful panels for increased energy production.
📱The new charge controllers and battery monitor can be controlled and monitored using a smartphone app.
🔌We are rewiring the system to increase voltage and improve efficiency.
Why are you upgrading your solar system?
—We want to increase our energy storage capacity, improve efficiency, and take advantage of the latest technology.
What are the advantages of lithium batteries over lead acid batteries?
—Lithium batteries are lighter, have a longer lifespan, and can be discharged to a lower capacity without damage.
Can the new batteries be mounted in any position?
—Yes, lithium batteries do not have any liquid and can be mounted in any orientation.
How do you monitor the performance of the new system?
—We use a smartphone app to monitor the state of charge, power usage, and control the charge controllers.
How will the system handle winter temperatures?
—The new inverter generates heat, which helps keep the batteries warm even in cold temperatures.
