Solar Power and Renewable Power Solutions
Solar batteries are rechargeable devices that store energy generated by solar panels and release it when the sun isn’t shining. With our large selection of batteries, we have what you need to get your system up and running.
Solar Plus Storage
What happens to solar power on cloudy days? Solar panels harness the power of the sun, which is stored in batteries, allowing for power even when the sun is not shining. The process of integrating batteries into a solar energy system is known as solar-plus-storage.
When selecting a battery for a solar-plus-storage or other renewable energy system, the primary consideration is capacity — or how much power the battery can hold. Most often, you’ll use multiple batteries with a solar-plus-storage system to increase overall capacity.
Type of Batteries for Solar and Renewable Energy Systems
The two most commonly used batteries in solar and renewable energy systems are lead-acid and lithium.
Lead-acid deep-cycle batteries have thicker lead plates and a large capacity to store energy. They are also durable and long-lasting, making them excellent for solar applications. Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries, like Trojan’s Solar Premium line, are specifically designed to operate under challenging conditions like fluctuating or extreme temperatures for the duration of their 10-year battery life.
Lithium batteries are an efficient and maintenance-free choice to power solar and renewable energy systems. Their lifespan is much longer than lead-acid batteries, but the up-front cost can be significantly more.
Sustainability
Solar and renewable energy are an important part of Continental Battery Systems’ commitment to sustainability — but it doesn’t end there. Learn how sustainability is at the core of who we are and what we do.

Golf Cart Batteries: 3 Signs It’s Time for a Replacement (and How to Do it Yourself)
Warm weather means golf carts are on the move once again. Whether you’re hitting the links or tooling around the neighborhood, there’s something freeing about gliding through the fresh spring air after a long winter indoors. But what happens when that first turn of the key is met with silence, or your smooth ride suddenly feels sluggish?
The Role of Batteries in Commercial Truck Safety
Commercial truck drivers spend a lot of time on the road, and that means they need heavy-duty batteries with the right specs to get from point A to point B to point C, and so on. But it’s more than just making it to the next delivery stop with all of the cargo intact — drivers need to be able to rely on their trucks to keep them safe.
