Choosing the right solar battery can be difficult. So many terms get thrown your way, AC vs DC coupled, battery capacity, round-trip efficiency, depth of discharge. Unless you’re already a battery guru, it’s hard to know what it all means, and just as hard to make the right choices based on them. That’s why we decided to make this article, breaking down not just what we consider the best batteries available, but the best ones for different circumstances.

Recently, our Echuca location had the opportunity to work alongside Clenergy on a unique solar energy installation in a rural area. A roof-mounted system was not going to work for homeowner Trevor Vincent’s beautiful 20-hectare property right by the creek. So, we had to come up with something unique.
