Solar Battery
Solar batteries use three electrodes. It has a lithium plate base, two
layers of electrode separated by a thin sheet of porous carbon and
a titanium gauze mesh that played host to a dye-sensitive photo
electrode. Battery’s ions oxidize into lithium peroxide by porous
materials, which chemically decompose into lithium ions and
stored as lithium metal. The device used conventional liquid
electrolyte consisting of part salt and part solvent.
Solar batteries are the main component of solar applications like
off-grid and grid tied solar system. Also called deep cycle batteries,
solar batteries aren’t the regular type of batteries. Off grid
photovoltaic (PV) solar power equipment requires a battery to
store the energy accumulated during the sunny hours, for use at
night. These solar batteries store power from the main sun while
the conventional batteries stores power comes from power source
electricity. In most applications, lead acid batteries are preferred
as these are maintenance free and do not emit any harmful gases
during the charging process. Solar batteries are widely used in
solar home lighting systems and solar street light systems.
Tubular Battery
In Flat plate battery electrode type is positive and negative. Its life
is 3 years. It has low efficiency as there is much wastage of current.
Maintenance is high for Flat plate battery.
