Will persistent summer heat damage home photovoltaic equipment?

 

Marching towards August, the temperature remains high💦. While we are standing with the continuous summer heat, are you curious about the 'feelings' of your home PV equipment? Can they survive under ongoing high temperatures? Let's find out🧐!

Since PV solar panels do not contain circulating water, they can evacuate heat from each side of the panel, so they do not bear the risk of overheating. However, high temperatures can influence the efficiency of solar panels. So, how can we test solar panels for power output? The standard practice is at 25°C.

If a panel is rated to have a temperature coefficient of -0.34% (PERC) per °C, that panel's output power will decrease by 0.34% for every degree the temperature rises above 25°C (77°F). Although that number may sound small, the surface temperature of a dark roof in summer can be significantly higher than 25°C – imagine an asphalt road surface on a hot summer day. The small percentage of output power loss for each degree of heat compound.

Choosing the right solar panels and the right solar system size, together with high-quality installation, will help reduce the effects of heat.

So, be relaxed, be prepared, and enjoy your summertime!

Why Solar Panels Output is Always Lower Than Expected

At this point, it's safe to assume that everyone knows the products they buy never do their advertised qualities or quantities any justice. Be it the bag of potato chips which has more air than chips or a car that just won’t touch the mileage its manufacturer claims. We're used to stuff performing below expectations and don’t mind it either.

Solar panels on the other hand, are usually excluded from such handicaps. Most consumers go into a solar purchase expecting their panels to produce as many watts as their sticker states, at least in the best of conditions.

Unfortunately, solar panels are no different from any other consumer product in this sense. In fact, don't be surprised at all if you find your panel’s output well below its rated capacity even on the brightest and sunniest of days when they are sparkling clean.

Here's why this happens.

What Can You Realistically Expect from Your Solar Panels

So, that 300 watt solar panel you've been researching probably doesn’t dishout 300 watts of power. But, just what is its realistic upper limit here? The answer depends on a few key factors.

Firstly, a solar panel's rated output is decided through rigorous laboratory testing. These tests are done in perfect conditions devoid of dust, clouds or any other pollutants with light shining directly on the panels at a perfect 90 degree angle. We've covered this in greater detail in our post on solar panel quality.

At first glance, such tests may seem deceptive since ideal conditions are rare, if not impossible. But, the objective of a solar output test is to determine the absolute power a panel can produce, which is an important figure to have.

So, how much of this power can you actually expect to harvest? Solar panels usually achieve only around 80% of their rated peak capacity, but may fall lower. A number of factors contribute to such losses.

What Causes Solar Power System Losses

Losses in usable power start to occur as the light falls on a solar panel. For the purposes of this article, we're going to ignore power loss due to environmental factors such as clouds, shade, dust, etc and focus on losses that are inherent in a solar power system due to its physical limitations. Here's a rundown of how it happens at each level:

Mismatch losses

Also known as the “mismatch effect”, power losses here are caused if solar cells in an array have different properties, resulting in inconsistent voltages. Mismatches can result in serious power losses since the entire system defaults to the output of the lowest performing solar cell.

Besides low power output, excess electricity trapped in the solar module's electric circuit is converted into heat that can further damage the solar modules. Mismatch losses can result in around 2% power loss.

Temperature loss

Solar cells perform best below 25 degrees celsius, which is also what the temperature they are tested against. The catch here is that these figures refer to the temperature of the cells and not that of ambient air surrounding the panels. So, the panels themselves can get much hotter than 25 degrees even if the ambient temperature is a cool and breezy 20 degrees.

A solar panel's power output can drop drastically as it gets hotter than 25 degrees. Power loss due to heat is measured as “Pmax”, which tells us how much a solar panel's electricity production drops per degree rise in temperature. For example, if a solar panel's Pmax is -0.45%, then that's how much electricity we lose per one degree celsius.

Temperature accounts for the majority of a solar panel's output losses and can range from 10% to as much as 25% in very hot conditions. Since mean temperature in most Australian cities can reach well over 30 degrees celsius during summer months when we have the most sunlight, the solar panels will also experience the greatest power loss here.

Light-induced degradation (LID)

LID typically occurs during the first few days after a solar installation and causes power loss due to build up of boron-oxygen compounds in the solar cell's silicon base. Some solar cells are more predisposed towards LID than others. LID accounts for 0.5% to 1.5% of power loss in photovoltaic systems.

P-type monocrystalline solar cells have higher oxygen content and are doped using boron and accept electrons, which makes them more susceptible to LID.

Multicrystalline solar cells are not as efficient as monocrystalline cells, however have less oxygen making them resistant to LID. Similarly, N-type silicon wafers are doped with chemicals that release electrons making them impervious to LID.

Cable and wiring losses

Solar panels are a collection of photovoltaic cells stacked in an array. These arrays feed into a wire that runs from the panel into the inverter. Since no wire is fully efficient, part of the power flowing through it is lost as heat.

For most solar power systems, cable related power degradation accounts for around 2% of the system's total loss, which can be brought down to 1% by using thicker wires or positioning the system such that it requires shorter wires to reach the inverter.

DC to AC Loss

Solar panels produce DC current that's unusable by household appliances. A solar inverter then converts that DC power into usable AC electricity which is fed into your home’s electrical circuit and the grid.

Since solar inverters are around 93% – 96% efficient, a portion of DC power being fed into them will be lost as heat. The exact amount of electricity lost will depend on your inverter make, and whether it’s oversized or not.

Oversized inverters (or, inverters that are rated for a higher output than the solar power system's total output) are more efficient than those that are matched to their panel's output.

Inverter Clipping

Inverter clipping happens when the DC power input from the panels is greater than its rated capacity. In such a case, the inverter “clips” or derates the overall output to match its own capacity, causing a loss in power.

How Can You Maximize Your Solar Power System's Output

The reasons for power loss we've discussed above are mostly unavoidable, because physics. However, we can also bring down such losses by designing efficient solar power systems.

For example, selecting solar panels with low or no LID potential, using sufficiently thick wires and cables, strategically sizing the inverter to mitigate clipping and positioning the solar panels such that they receive as much direct sunlight as possible can all help increase the system's output.

12 Things You Need To Know For Gel Battery

The gel battery was invented in 1957. Gel batteries are one of two sealed lead acid batteries, the other being an AGM battery. Sealed lead acid batteries are distinct from other lead acid batteries in that they are maintenance-free.

Gel batteries are a maintenance-free alternative to flooded cell deep cycle batteries. They contain a silica-based gel in which battery electrolytes are suspended, allowing electrons to flow freely between plates. The nice thing about spill-proof gel batteries is that they don't leak even if the battery case is broken. These batteries also fight against corrosion and prevent overcharging.

                                                                   

The combination of Gel electrolyte along with highly porous glass micro fiber separator ensure reducing short circuit, higher capacity, longer service life,leak proof operation in any position. Brava advanced GEL Lead acid batteries approved with UL1989, CE, IEC60896, IEC61427, IEC60254, IEC60079 certificates provide maintenance-free and deep cycle performance for UPS, solar/wind, telecommunications, cathodic protection, navigation aids, remote monitoring, RV/marine, golf cart, switchgear, cellular radio etc.

                                                         

gel battery applications

What's a gel battery?

A gel battery is a dry battery since it doesn't use a liquid electrolyte. In a gel battery, the electrolyte is frozen with silica gel. This keeps the electrolyte inside the battery, preventing it from evaporating or spilling.

This design stabilizes the battery and gives it a low self-discharge. This is a handy feature for batteries that lie idle for long periods.

10 Advantages of a gel battery

  1. Maintenance-free. Because the batteries are comprised of gel instead of liquid, there is little to no maintenance to keep the battery working properly.
  2. 6-year lifespan.
  3. Better performance until its end of life then performance drops off sharply.
  4. You can install it sideways since it's spill-proof.Gel batteries have the advantage of being able to be used in virtually any position, because they don’t leak and are generally maintenance free. This greatly increases the number of applications gel batteries can be used for.
  5. Better heat tolerance.
  6. No Leaks: Even though wet cell batteries are sealed in a plastic encasement there is still the chance that it will leak. Gel batteries are also sealed but with a valve that removes excess pressure. This means that between the gel substance and the removal of pressure, there is nowhere for the mixture to go.
  7. Minimal Risk: When damage occurs to a traditional lead-acid battery you are faced with a massive and dangerous clean up (not to mention the impact on anything the battery acid may come into contact with during the process). Gel batteries will not leak out if the casing becomes damaged, so there is a reduced risk of harm coming to the equipment and clean up hazards.
  8. Vibration Resistant: One of the biggest complaints with wet cell batteries is that they are very susceptible to extreme vibration and other impacts. Gel batteries absorb the impact and vibrations, making them great batteries for items such as four wheelers.
  9. No Fumes: Because these batteries are comprised of a gel substance there are minimal fumes created as a result of use. This means that there is a reduced need for ventilation which increases the potential applications gel batteries can be used for, as well as making them easier to charge anywhere.
  10. Resistant To Discharge Death: When using a wet cell battery it’s important that you don’t allow the battery to discharge too much. Otherwise, it will never recharge. Gel cell batteries aren’t that way. They are deep cycle batteries which means that they can discharge more and still be recharged like new.

Disadvantages of a gel battery

  1. You need to store it in a charged condition although this is less critical than as for a flooded lead acid battery.
  2. It requires some ventilation as it releases gas when pressure builds up.
  3. Sensitive to overcharging though this is less so than AGM batteries.
  4. AGM is cheaper and can handle higher loads.

How Does a gel battery Work?

A gel battery (often referred to as a gel cell battery) is a lead-acid battery that is valve regulated. When the electrolyte is mixed with sulphuric acid and silica, it becomes a relatively stationary gel substance.

This gel mixture allows the battery to utilize the acid and electrolyte in the same way it would with a traditional lead-acid battery, just without the added maintenance.

When should you choose a gel battery?

Gel batteries are an alternative to flooded lead acid. They're suited for a battery backup system or an off-grid home. If you don't mind the extra expense, a gel battery is a better option if you're looking into lead acid batteries. This is because you won't have to worry about maintenance.

Are gel batteries better than AGM batteries?

Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are the other sealed lead acid battery. How do gel batteries compare to AGM batteries?

For starters, gel batteries can be more expensive. They also need specific chargers to prevent overcharging. Not using these chargers reduces the batteries lifespan.

They're also don't work as well with appliances that need a higher current because they have a higher internal resistance.

On the other hand, gel batteries have a longer lifespan. This is because:

  1. They hold more acid because of their design.
  2. They have a better temperature tolerance. They have improved heat transfer to the outside. The gel moves heat, whereas the absorbent glass mat of the AGM acts as an insulator.
  3. They also maintain their performance over a longer period. AGM batteries gradually fade as they get older.
Feature Gel batteries AGM batteries
Cost Expensive compared to AGM batteries Less expensive compared to gel batteries
Charge The battery can be ruined even if it is brand new if you make one charging mistake, like overcharging or using a tapering charger Hold their charge well and charge quickly
Technology Gel paste suspends the electrolyte in the battery case of a gel battery Internally, the electrolyte is wicked into a glass matt to prevent leakage
Life expectancy You can fully discharge gel batteries up to 90% and still get a much longer cycle life than you would with AGM batteries Discharging your AGM battery more than 50% and up to 70% is okay, but doing so frequently will significantly shorten the battery’s cycle life

Are gel batteries better than flooded batteries?

A flooded lead acid battery is a wet battery since it uses a liquid electrolyte. Unlike a gel battery, a flooded lead acid battery needs maintenance by topping up the water in the battery every 1-3 months.

Gel batteries are the safer lead acid batteries because they release less hydrogen gas from their vent valves. This makes them safer to install where there is limited ventilation. Hydrogen release or gassing is a minor safety concern with flooded lead acid batteries.

Because of how they're made, they can be oriented in any way. They can be stacked pancake-style which may improve cycle life. Flooded lead acid batteries are kept upright to avoid acid spills.

What Is A Deep Cycle Gel Battery?

deep cycle battery is a type of battery that can use to provide power for extended periods.

It stores more energy than conventional batteries, and it’s able to withstand the repeated charging and discharging cycles necessary in solar installations or other renewable energy systems.

Deep cycle gel batteries are among the most popular types of deep-cycle batteries on the market today because they’re designed with safety in mind while still providing high performance.

What Is The Difference Between A Deep Cycle Battery And A Gel Battery?

It is not uncommon for people to confuse deep cycle batteries and gel batteries. They are very different in many ways, but the most important distinction is that a deep cycle battery can be used regularly while a gel battery cannot.

So this is the big difference that I have shared with you between the deep cycle and gel batteries. Furthermore, the difference is;

Deep cycle batteries are made of lead-acid cells, which produce an electric current when they react with sulfuric acid and water.

A deep cycle battery is typically used in a boat or RV. It can be discharged more without damaging it than many other batteries, but it’s typically heavier and less expensive.

While A gel battery has additives that help prevent the electrolyte from leaking out of the cell when it’s overcharged.

This makes them safer to use in certain situations, like on motorcycles or scooters, often exposed to extreme temperatures.

Gel batteries also cost more than most types of lead-acid batteries, which means you’ll usually only see them in higher-end products.

Knowing this information will help you find the best type of battery for your needs!

How Long Do Deep-Cycle Gel Batteries Last?

When peoples buy an expensive battery, they want the time of lasting the batteries should extend. However, you can use deep cycle batteries for over 6 years or more if you charge properly and care about it.

It is totally up to you how you are keeping this battery to taking care of and whats your charging routine is to charge your battery.

Because, as you know, if you charge the battery over time, the battery may damage.

How Do You Revive A Dead Gel Battery?

Because gel batteries are sealed, unlike fluid-based batteries, the cells cannot access them.

The best technique to repair and recover a gel battery is fully discharged it and then slowly charge it again.

Are Gel Batteries Worth It?

Gel batteries are worthwhile since their performance is maintained throughout their lifespan. Its build custom, according to Battery University, produces a dome-shaped curve in its power output. There is no declining voltage, which is a common problem with other batteries.

Get a Gel Battery For All Your Needs

Gel batteries offer the ability to save energy for the benefit of future generations. As the supply of electricity decreases, batteries become more important to human life as the population grows.

We recommend using a gel battery because:

  • There will be no need to do routine maintenance.
  • There will be no spills, providing no considerable and hazardous risk because you will not come into contact with the acid.
  • Because of the low amount of corrosion, gel batteries can be used with sensitive electronic equipment.
  • Gel batteries are extremely durable and vibration resistant.
  • Because there is a reduced possibility of sulfuric acid burns, it is very safe.
  • The battery will last far longer than a lead-acid battery for the same amount of use because of its high lifespan.
