β¦ Synopsis
The various load profile characteristics most commonly encountered in photovoltaic installations are analyzed in conjunction with solar array and battery performance data and used to generate battery specifications with particular respect to operating characteristics and cycle life requirements.
The design of lead-acid batteries for photovoltaic applications is discussed and illustrated with both operating, maintenance, and cycle life data. Other performance characteristics of lead-acid photovoltaic batteries are described including the effects of operating temperature and the correct choice of charging method for various operational requirements.
