What is the Best Residential Solar Battery for rooftop solar?

It all known that good solar batteries complete the off-grid living. However, there are many types of solar batteries for various applications, such as RVs, boats, home energy. Today, in this article, we will specifically explore how to choose the best residential solar battery in 3 steps.

Step 1: Choose Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery

For residential solar battery, choose the Lithium iron Phosphate cell (LiFePO4) is better than other battery types. Because LiFePO4 solar batteries are with higher energy density, longer cycle life, and sensitive to the temperature.

Even though lithium iron battery is more expensive, it would be the most effective choice in long term perspective. 

Step 2: Choose the right capacity according to daily consumption

For 1-people’s home, the estimated daily consumption is between 8 to 10kWh.

The ideal amount of square meters to have per person is often placed between 55-65, when you live off-grid alone in that size of house, you'll need about 8-10kwh for daily electric use.

For 2-people’s home, the estimated daily consumption is between 15 to 20kWh.

Living in a typical 2-people's house usually requires 14-20kwh electricity for daily appliances running, such as fridge, air conditioner, lights and more.

For 3-people’s home, the estimated daily consumption is between 20 to 30kWh.

The ideal size for a 3 person's home is around 168-195 square meters. In that size of house, the average electricity needed is around 20-30kwh per day.
