Handbook of Secondary Storage Batteries and Charge Regulators in Photovoltaic Systems

Photo courtesy NRELSolar photovoltaic systems often require battery subsystems to store reserve electrical energy for times of zero insolation. This handbook is designed to help the system designer make optimum choices of battery type, battery size and charge control circuits.
