Industry Thoughts

One of the biggest issues with the solar industry today is there are many installers and designers, and even end-users who don’t truly take proper battery charging into consideration.  Many often make the battery bank too large and the renewables or recharging system are not designed large enough to handle the load, and fully recharge the battery bank on a regular basis.  Many of our clients at Rolls Batteries see an average of 10-20 years of life from their flooded lead-acid batteries, this can be achieved by the proper design, and maintenance of a battery bank.
