Heating the water in your house with Lithium Batteries is very easy
Thanks to photovoltaic solar energy, it is now possible to heat water at home with lithium batteries at very low costs and now available to everyone.
Here’s everything you need to know about water heaters and how lithium batteries are your best ally.
Energy consumption for hot water
One of the main energy consumes for photovoltaic installations in homes is produced to heat water, either from heating or from a thermos of water for shower or cooking.
The purpose of solar panels in this process is to serve as parallel energy to the fuel that a boiler can use. Let’s look at some examples:
- To heat a 100-liter thermos the energy needed is 6kWh.
- To heat the water of a standard house heater (100 meters) we will need the energy of 60Kwh.
It is because of these data, and especially the use of solar energy to heat the heating of a house, that we would need to use solar energy from our solar panels in parallel with fossil fuels.
Estimated installation for heating water at home with lithium batteries
A solar installation consists of different elements needed to be able to convert solar energy into usable energy, and one of the most important elements for this purpose are solar lithium batteries.
Thanks to lithium batteries, we can store solar energy in the most optimal way in our solar installations, thanks to the characteristics of these batteries.
Storage is key to any renewable energy. It is through lithium batteries that we can store the energy generated and be able to use it at times when we do not have sunlight, such as at night or cloudy days.
It is possible to transform energy produced by solar panels into heat through a resistor, without the need for any inverter.
Why do we recommend Lithium batteries?
Lithium batteries can last up to 20 years if the battery is used properly and appropriate measures are taken to extend the life of these batteries.
They have a low self-discharge and, in addition, they have a considerable depth of discharge, which means that we can squeeze out the energy accumulated in them to the maximum.
It is worth highlighting the battery memory, since it is possible to completely discharge the battery. It is also possible to store energy with half its load, without the risk of damage.
Characteristics of Lithium Batteries:
- Energy accumulators with a better lifespan that currently exists.
- Stunning 20-year lifespan.
- Up to 4000 useful life cycles.
- 80% depth of discharge.
- Charging time approximately 4 hours.
- No need for an optimal load for proper operation.
- X3 energy density for lead acid batteries.
- They can store up to 120 Wh/kg.
- They can be used for multiple applications.
