[{"type":"text","content":"What You Should Know When Buying a Home Solar Battery System\nSAN DIEGO, Nov. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEOVOLTA INC. (OTCQB: NEOV) – More and more American homes are pairing rooftop solar with a solar battery system. With utility rates constantly on the rise, storing solar power for nighttime use has become a smart investment for many households. Homeowners are also looking for blackout protection in the face of extreme weather and wildfire-related power shutdowns, especially in California.\n If you’re one of those homeowners looking to add a home battery system to your solar installation, here are five things you should know: Not all battery chemistry is the same. Most home solar storage systems use a lithium ion battery, the kind used in smartphones and electric cars. The problem with lithium ion is that it’s prone to thermal runaway, in which the battery rapidly overheats and combusts, potentially releasing toxic cobalt. NeoVolta offers a safer solution. Its innovative NV14 system uses lithium iron phosphate chemistry, which is cobalt-free and does not have the same thermal runaway concerns. Tests have also shown that lithium iron phosphate batteries last longer than ordinary lithium ion batteries.The importance of capacity and power. Solar batteries come with all kinds of specifications, but these are the two most important performance indicators. Capacity is the total amount of energy a battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The NeoVolta NV14’s high capacity of 14.4 kWh can power a home longer than most competitors due to higher capacity. Homeowners can expand the NV14’s capacity to 24 kWh with the addition of a second battery called the NV24 (no extra inverter needed). Power indicates how much inverting power the energy storage system has. Think of this like speed. The NV14 is rated at 7.7 kilowatts, higher than most other mainstream systems. High capacity combined with high power means this system can power more appliances for a longer time than competitors in its class.Whole-home backup protection is not possible for very long. No residential storage system on the market has enough power and storage capacity to run an entire home, regardless of their advertising. Think of it like this: A 5,000-watt inverter will afford the home 5,000 watts of energy use, or approximately 20.83 amps of power. NeoVolta’s ...
