Identify why a customer is interested in batteries with their solar system. The project development for a fully-off grid cabin is different from someone who wants battery backup when the grid goes down. Understanding the role the batteries will play in a solar + storage system provides clarity early on and should shorten the sales process.
-
Determine the battery cycling frequency. Will the site be occupied daily and require battery cycling every day? Or will the site be a remote pump that only runs in the event of extreme weather? If a reliable battery with a long cycle battery is best for a project, a GS battery may be a great solution.
-
If a residential site is looking to add battery backup in case of emergency, select the loads that will be connected to the battery power. Is a refrigerator, a few light switches, and a microwave sufficient? Should a window A/C also be a designated load for back-up? Carefully selecting the critical loads for backing up makes sizing a battery bank much more precise.
-
Pinpoint which battery type is best for a given application. Flooded batteries are a great solution for an easily accessed site that can be visited regularly for battery maintenance. Sealed AGM batteries are reliable and maintenance-free. The GS battery lines are dependable and affordable. Lithium Ion solutions may be great for deep cycling usage.
-
After the critical loads are selected, check if they are 120V or 240V loads. This impacts the type of inverter/charger required to power those loads.
