Use of renewable electricity sources is one the most important today topics . There are a large number of developments aimed at improving the efficiency of solar panels and wind generators. However, the wind is not persistent , just like the sun , and in other words batteries are needed. Typically, a power supply in conjunction with solar panels and wind generators are used with lead-acid batteries.
In a study conducted jointly by the University of Southampton and - manufacturer of rechargeable batteries has been developed REAP systems battery, making use of such renewable energy sources easier and cheaper. Using the new battery with a lithium-iron-phosphate cathode, the scientists were able to raise the efficiency of solar cells up to 95 percent. In addition, this battery has less weight and longer-term work, which reaches 1600 charge / discharge cycles. Studies have shown that the use of these batteries in commercial photovoltaic systems is very promising. On one hand, they reduce their costs, on the other hand - increase their efficiency and simplify operation. Related Products :
