There are currently two main options for off-grid batteries: lead acid, and lithium ion.

In this 4-minute video, we outline the pros and cons for both.

Lithium ion batteries (pros & cons)
Design Considerations for off-grid lithium batteries

In fact, we recommend lithium over lead acid as being the battery of choice, due to size, fewer installation compliance regulations, superior scope for upscaling, efficiency, and the advancement of technology.

What our clients say

MODE Electrical installed all three of my solar systems, after my initial enquiry they popped around for site visit, the first thing I noticed was how friendly and professional they were. They answered all my questions and provided all the information, right down to the amount of power I would expect to make from my systems from day to day. They also explained how the whole solar thing works ie: net metering and what happens to excess power. Come installation day the crew arrived early and by mid-afternoon all was finished, all done up and running! Very happy with MODE Electrical and the boys. Thanks for a pleasant professional experience! MODE Electrical come highly recommended, and I am glad I chose them for my solar needs.
