5 reasons to go for Lithium-ion-phosphate batteries.

Do you like interruptions while you enjoy your movie or are busy working on your computer? No! We hate interruptions! this is what you might answer!

To avoid interruption and high energy bills, we have a fleet of solutions which are broadly called storage systems. All of them feature solar battery backup, and some of them feature solar energy as well. Storage systems with solar are known as hybrid solar energy systems, where you get to save your energy bills while consuming electricity without interruption in an eco-friendly way.

But how do you get a continuous energy supply with a hybrid solar energy system?

It is the solar battery(energy storage system) affixed to the solar panels and grid that maintains power regardless of the weather condition and grid failure.

Although many rechargeable batteries are available in the market today, lithium-ion batteries(Li-ion) have made a name for themselves in the market due to their high performance and long lifespan.

The lithium-ion batteries in combination with renewable energy have a great potential to cater for the energy requirement of the people and reduce grid dependence.

But do you know the fact?

Lithium-ion batteries claim to be top-notch reliable and durable batteries but it is true only if they are handled with proper management. We at Fenice Energy, before dispatching the batteries, perform a complete quality check of the cell and solar battery to make sure it is in good condition.

Advantages of Lithium-ion batteries?

Higher Depth of Discharge (DoD): Depth of discharge is the amount of the stored energy in the solar battery that has been used, as compared to the total capacity of the battery. DoD for a lithium battery is 90-95% whereas for a lead acid battery is around 50-80%. This means that the Li-ion solar battery’s actual energy capacity is closer to the nameplate value of its energy capacity.

Higher energy density: Solar battery energy density refers to how much power a solar battery can hold concerning its physical size. In homes with limited space, lithium-ion batteries are a great option since they are space-saving (taking only 20-30% of the space) and store more power than lead-acid batteries per square foot.

Less Maintenance: Lithium-ion solar batteries do not require as much maintenance as lead-acid batteries. Fenice Energy’s batteries also have WiFi-based monitoring which makes it easier to monitor the systems through the app.

Battery Lifespan: These batteries are long-lasting due to their high DoD and minimal charging and recharging requirements. Fenice Energy’s Lithium-ion batteries have a minimum warranty lifespan of about 10 years.If we assume 1 cycle/day then the lithium-ion batteries have a lifespan of around 17 years.

Higher Efficiency: Compared to other types of batteries on the market, lithium-ion batteries have a round-trip efficiency greater than 95%.

Are lithium-ion solar batteries for residential users?

In general, lithium-ion solar batteries are the best solar energy storage system for everyday residential use because they take up little space while storing a substantial amount of energy. They also have a sleek IP55 enclosure and do not have exposed wiring, making the system safer.

Furthermore, their high DoD allows you to store more energy.

The long life of lithium-ion batteries means that the solar battery won’t need to be replaced as often as a lead acid battery. They also allow you to extract, store and release more energy (from your solar panels) due to their higher efficiency. With a lithium solar battery connected to your on-grid or off-grid solar energy system, you can get a continuous power supply.

Do you know LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries are more reliable than simple Li-ion batteries?

LFP batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery with very stable chemistry. LFP batteries consist of lithium iron phosphate as a cathode that gives the solar battery a longer life span with zero maintenance. Additionally, the LFP batteries don’t release any toxic or dangerous gases during charging or discharging and have better thermal management.

When it comes to safety and hot regions, LFP batteries are the best option.

Our Fenice Energy LFP batteries require zero maintenance and come with a 10-year product warranty on the solar battery.

How to install solar panels for free electricity in 6 simple steps?

One of the biggest myths about solar panel installation is that it is a tedious and long process. Not to mention expensive. But the fact is installing solar panels is a simple and easy task but surely it requires a skilled installer to install the solar panel at your location.

While researching frequently asked questions, there were innumerable ones we came across on:

1. Time

2. Money

3. Customer service

This article is aimed to break that myth for you. We’d like to take you through a step-by-step guide that will shed light on the processes involved at every stage. Right from the time, a potential customer reaches out to us, up until the post-installation service too.

What are the prerequisites for solar panel installation at your location?

As a customer, before going for solar installation and its design one must check the below points:

1. The amount of electricity required

2. The shadow-free area available on your rooftop

3. The peak sunshine hour in your area

4. Type of solar panel suited for your location as per your design requirement

5. One must also check the available government incentives for the particular location.

Once we have identified the above factor, the next task is to design the solar plant and its installation.

Installation of a solar energy system requires skilled labour to avoid any damage to the solar panel and increase the efficiency and lifespan of your solar energy system installed.

As a customer, this might seem a lot and a tedious task but don’t worry, we at Fenice Energy take care of this analysis and provide you with the best design solution.

To begin with, our website www.feniceenergy.com has something called a ‘Fenice Energy solar calculator’ wherein you enter some of the details asked and we tell you how much energy can be saved if you switch to a solar plant.

And then, of course, we also have a detailed form that you can fill out on the website to get an estimated quote. This is to ensure you are given an average cost to bear in mind before the installation.

6 Steps to Install Solar Panels

Stepping right into the step-by-step guide, here are the quick 6 stages you’ll be taken through, right from the time you reach out to us, up until the installation is complete.

1. Consultation

For all those of you who think solar panel installation would be a long process and there are chances, you may change your mind about it amid the entire process, this step is the most crucial one for you. To save your time and energy, we offer a free consultation wherein you will be informed:

1. What your initial costs are

2. What kind of electricity will you be consuming

3. What amount you’d be saving in your ROI

2. Site survey

Post the consultation, once you decide to go ahead with us, a site visit will be organized by our team. This step is basically to visit your property in person or virtually, take a look at the space and ensure there is sufficient area for solar panels to be installed that isn’t covered by a tree shade or any obstruction. Post the site visit our team will design an installation that is most suited to your space, bearing in mind the rooftop accessibility, your preference, and other criteria.

3. Financing
