Solar Battery
We offer countless solar batteries of all shapes and sizes at manufacturer direct pricing!
Solar batteries are batteries that draw their energy from the sun. They keep their charge by constantly being attached to solar panels that are exposed to direct sunlight. It is during the times of direct sunlight that they build up their stored light energy and by way of additional processes, create electricity. These batteries can be found in just about any hardware store or garden store but are priced lowest by our manufacturers so you get manufacturer direct pricing without the markup costs of retailers. From small low-voltage to very large high-voltage solar batteries, our manufactures offer them all at extremely low prices. We suggest you see for yourself how much money you can save by buying direct.
Today solar batteries can be used to power just about anything that requires electricity. Many studies have shown that these batteries can power small devices like watches and calculators all the way to entire homes. As long as the batteries are large enough and in direct sunlight, you could even power an entire factory.
Using solar energy is easily one of the most efficient ways to power multiple devices. It is a very “green” approach to cheaply and cleanly power your life. While their cost of upkeep is very low, their cost is actually pretty high depending on the size of the battery. Their pricing can range anywhere from a couple hundred dollars and vary by thousands depending on what you have to power. Solar batteries are made up of groups of cells that hold specific amounts of energy. These cells are attached to semiconductors, which are attached to solar panels. Basically, when sunlight hits a solar panel a portion of that light’s energy is absorbed by the panel and processed into the semiconductors. This technologically advanced mechanism then sends the absorbed light energy into the solar cells for immediate use when the sun begins to set, or storage if the sun is still shining bright. The above mentioned solar cells function similar to that of a laptop computer or cell phone with the difference being that they draw their energy from the sun compared to that of an electrical outlet in your home.
Now, a deeper explanation of energy transfer: When light is absorbed by the numerous solar panels and transferred into the semiconductor electrons inside the semiconductor, they then begin to “shake” and “vibrate” and flow in specific direction. This movement of electrons is what generates the electricity utilized by the battery to power devices similar to electric razors or alarm clocks. The purpose of the conventional plug-ins that enter into wall sockets is to transfer the electrical current generated by the electrons into whatever is being powered. The same concept is applied in transferring energy from solar batteries to whatever they are powering.
There is a very easy way to test if your solar batteries are dead. You simply replace them with normal batteries for a few minutes to search for a difference in performance. If you are testing a solar light during the day, make sure to cover it or at least darken the room wherever you may be. The reason the room or area needs to be darkened is because the photocell must be triggered in order for the unit to produce light. If you solar battery had the opportunity to charge for the instructed amount of time and you have tested the unit with normal batteries and it works, this means your solar batteries are now defective and it’s time for new ones. For larger solar lights like what you see on top of homes, these are solar panels and are tested for effectiveness in a different manner.
