ASHGABAT ENERGY STORAGE NEW ENERGY MANUFACTURER
The city''s new 140MW photovoltaic + storage project isn''t just another solar farm - it''s Serbia''s first large-scale marriage of solar generation with lithium-ion battery storage.
Predominantly, the batteries used in forklifts are deep-cycle lead-acid batteries. They're designed to provide a steady amount of power over a longer time. Rather than delivering short bursts of high energy, which makes them theoretically suitable. This is most true for applications like solar energy storage.
In contrast, repurposed forklift batteries, are obtainable at a fraction of the cost. While this sounds enticing, it's essential to factor in longevity and maintenance costs. A forklift battery that needs frequent upkeep or replacement sooner than a solar battery would negate initial savings. Safety is paramount when dealing with electrical setups.
A significant advantage of forklift batteries is their capacity. Their design is to power heavy machinery for long periods, they come with high capacity. This makes them attractive for solar setups. That's because you need ample storage for days when sunlight might be scarce. Yet, the lifespan is a factor to consider.
Instead of discarding old batteries, giving them a second life reduces electronic waste. This is especially relevant since solar setups are all about eco-friendliness and reducing carbon footprints. Not all solar setups are the same, and not all forklift batteries are identical.
