Has anyone had experience with a solar battery?

[MLAA]

2. Hey Miguelito,

I have nothing yet, so I will be getting solar panels and battery/batteries. A few months ago I had a couple companies come out and they seemed competent on panels but seemed to know little to nothing on batteries. Both were anxious to have me get the panels and deal with batteries ‘later’. That seemed like a red flag to me. Hopefully I will have better luck with the company coming next week.

I hope to have enough solar and battery capacity to power two large rooms (about 400 sq feet each) with mini splits, maybe a small fridge, lights, computers and tv. I figured installing two mini splits is a better way to go than trying to get enough power to operate the existing large AC/heat pump that powers the whole house.

I’m looking to have power in the event of city power outages.

What brand batteries do you have? Any general tips for me? Any questions I should be sure to ask the solar company?

Thank you!
