Batteries in solar flood lighting systems are used to store electricity generated by solar panels. This allows the system to operate at night or during periods of low sunlight when the solar panels cannot generate enough electricity to power the lights. Batteries also help smooth out fluctuations in power production and ensure that lighting systems can continue to operate. The solar cells should be sized to provide backup for inclement weather and worst-case scenarios such as long winter nights. Most of these pack units have a couple of small batteries, usually Lithium-Ion, but can only be charged for a night or two at most, running at minimal output. On top of that, they often require perfect conditions to fully charge the battery. This means that even a bad day greatly increases the likelihood of failure. In addition, as the discharge capacity increases, the battery cycle number is very low, and the battery needs to be replaced every one or two years.
Systems with 1-day backup have smaller batteries and are less expensive to install, but require more frequent recharging and may not run for extended periods of time without sunlight. This may be sufficient for systems that only need to be run at night or in sunny areas. These lights require more frequent battery changes and are prone to failure when inclement weather occurs.
A system with a 3 day backup will have a larger battery capacity and be more expensive to install, but it will be able to run longer without sunlight and may be better suited for areas with more variability or limited sunlight. This is ideal for installations using lithium or other fast-charging batteries, and will greatly extend the time between battery changes.
A system with a 5-day backup will have the largest battery capacity, but it will be able to run the longest without sunlight and may be necessary for areas with extreme weather conditions or prolonged cloud cover. This is perfect for AGM or GEL batteries, and can handle extreme cold or hot conditions, unlike lithium batteries. Additionally, these setups are low maintenance and less expensive to replace.
Commercial solar lighting systems will be equipped with a minimum of three nights of fully operational backup lithium option or five or more nights of backup GEL/AGM option. This size allows the system to operate in more than a day of severe weather, which is common in northern climates, and allows the battery to last for many years. This not only reduces maintenance costs, but also reduces a lot of waste.
Knowing the climate is also important for battery components. For example, lithium batteries do not have the capability to operate in extremely cold or hot climates; therefore, they are only suitable for use in regions with milder climates than Arizona or Maine. GEL batteries, on the other hand, work down to -40 and are non-hazardous, air-shipable, etc.
Overall, the choice of battery backup will depend on the specific needs and budget of your solar lighting system. It is important to carefully consider the length of time the system will need to run without sunlight and the power consumption of the lights to determine the proper battery capacity. Solar lighting systems use batteries to store the electricity generated by solar panels so that the lighting system can operate at night or during periods of low sunlight and help ensure continuous operation. Without batteries, the solar system would not be able to operate at night. Having enough storage space is key to ensuring the longevity of your system.
