When choosing between low voltage and high voltage solar batteries, consider your system’s specific needs and configurations. Low voltage batteries (12V-48V) are often simpler to install and manage, making them a good choice for small to medium-sized solar setups (or DIY, if you’re looking to live off-grid, or just like doing-it-yourself!) However, low voltage systems may require thicker cables to handle the higher current, leading to increased installation costs for larger setups.
High voltage batteries (above 48V), on the other hand, are more efficient for larger, grid-tied solar systems. They can reduce energy loss during conversion and allow for longer distances between components without significant power drop. High voltage systems can handle more appliances and are generally more scalable, but they require a more complex setup and have stricter safety protocols due to the higher voltages involved.
So, the short answer is it depends. The long answer? Ask an expert for a recommendation!
