Battery Review - Energy storage systems
Most home battery storage systems are made up of lithium based battery modules housed within a unit containing a charger and battery management system (BMS).
Off-grid solar dairy farm - Project review
Dairy farms use a lot of energy to operate due to the high power requirements of vacuum pumps, compressors, milk vat refrigeration systems, and irrigation in summer. To add to the difficulties, over a third of the energy used is early morning before the sun. With this in mind, powering a dairy farm using a solar off-grid battery system posed many challenges.

How solar hot water works
The energy received from the sun can be used to heat water for a building, known as solar hot water. That hot water may then be used for heating of a building, energy storage, or more commonly as a hot water source.
