Nowadays, the use of electricity from solar energy is becoming more and more popular thanks to technological developments. We need to store electricity to use when needed. So inventors have created solar power storage. So how much capacity solar power storage should you use? Let's find out with us through the article below!
1. What is a solar power system?
A solar power storage system is a necessary device in a solar power system. It is used to store the electricity absorbed by the panel. Next, the storage system is responsible for retaining the electricity to transmit electricity to electrical devices in the home/business.
2. Outstanding advantages of UPS
Nowadays, the demand for using mobile and electronic devices is increasing. Everyone uses mobile phones, computers, cameras, ... and many other smart devices. However, there are unexpected situations when using these devices, such as power outages in the middle. Or in the case of the device running out of battery. At this time, you need a solar power backup immediately.
Below we will list the outstanding advantages of this device to help you consider when choosing:
2.1 Ease of use
Solar power storage can help you solve the problem of no grid power, out of battery,... anytime, anywhere.
2.2. Can connect multiple devices at the same time
The advantage of a UPS is that it has many sockets for different devices. You can plug in many devices at the same time to charge or use. The storage ensures power supply for devices for a long period of time.
The storage is equipped with convenient features for you when you have no electricity to use. The UPS also has AC voltage with large capacity (from 1000W to 2000W).
2.3. Ensure safety and long-term use
The storage is equipped with many user protection features. In case of overvoltage or overcurrent, the storage will automatically disconnect the circuit to protect you. Not only that, it also has a cooling fan to help the device operate for a long time without overheating. This also helps prevent devices from exploding.
Manufacturers always commit to ensuring safety when using their products. Besides, they also have long-term warranties when you buy at reputable places.
2.4. The product has easy-to-understand instructions for use.
When you buy the product, you will receive a user manual. The UPS is easy to operate and it is easier than ever to use. On its surface, there are buttons and LED lights to display. You can monitor and control the device as desired. In addition, some types of UPS also have a smart feature that automatically turns off the power when no device is connected.
3. How solar power UPS works
The operating principle of the UPS includes 4 main steps. Accordingly, the energy will run from the components from the solar panel to the controller. Then to the UPS and finally to the converter.
Step 1: The solar panel will convert light energy into optical energy, which will be converted into electrical energy. However, this solar power source is not stable. This depends on the efficiency of converting electrical energy and light energy more or less. After step 1, the power source will run along the transmission line to the next part.
Step 2: The most important part of this step is the controller. It acts as an intermediary to stabilize the charging current between the solar panel and the UPS. Thanks to this controller, the current intensity will be more stable, the UPS will be charged faster. In particular, thanks to the controller, the UPS can limit battery failure.
Step 3: After being transmitted through the controller, this power source will be stored in the UPS. At this time, the UPS is ready to supply power to electronic devices.
Step 4: Finally, the DC -> AC converter will help you use large capacity household appliances.
4. The best types of solar UPS today
Like other types of solar energy devices, solar UPS also has many different types. Prices, features, materials, etc. may differ. You should buy and choose the product according to your needs. You need to answer the questions: What voltage should the UPS have? How much should the UPS cost?
Below we have suggested for you the types of UPS that are being bought a lot by people today:
4.1. Blue Carbon BCT-CF1.0 Solar UPS
This is the simplest type of UPS, for families who only need to use DC electrical devices. Including integrated solar lighting. Simply put, this device is like a backup charger. It will help you charge mobile devices.
With a low price compared to the market (about more than 1 million VND), Blue Carbon only has a capacity of a few dozen Wh.
4.2. UPS for home - A6-PSS
With more modern features, A6-PSS has a larger capacity (about 600Wh - 6KW). Along with that, the UPS has many more outstanding features. The price of A6-PSS is also higher than that of conventional UPS (From 2 million to 4 million). Some examples include:
Has AC fast charging technology
With LED lighting
Inverter up to 220V
Modern screen
Fast battery charging time
4.3. UPS 12V/17A SUNTEK KM-920
With a capacity of 50Wh, this solar UPS mainly helps to light up the electric lights. With a compact, modern design, the KM-920 can be carried when traveling. Especially to picnic places without electricity, very convenient. SUNTEK KM-920 uses bright, realistic LED bulbs, so there is no need to worry about bad light effects. The price of this UPS is also affordable, around 3 million.
5. What capacity and power should the solar UPS have?
There are many different types of solar UPS. The better the quality, the higher the price. In particular, the amount of electricity stored will also be different. Some types have only a few dozen Wh, some have a few hundred Wh, but there are also types up to thousands of Wh.
Each family/business has different needs. Therefore, you should choose the type that is suitable for your family.
With low demand, just need to light up the lights when there is a power outage, you just need to buy a low-power UPS, DC power equipment is enough. With this type, you can light up a 12V light bulb. Can also charge phones, computers, other small electronic devices.
With higher demand, you want to use household appliances when there is a power outage, for example. Then you need to buy a storage type with larger capacity and power. At least 1KWh. This type can be plugged into a power outlet up to 220V. However, this type of solar power storage will certainly cost many times more than the DC type.
Solar power storage is manufactured with different storage levels from tens of Wh to several hundred or even thousands of Wh. Depending on the purpose of use, such as the number of devices that need to provide power and the capacity of each device, the appropriate device will be selected.
