Why You Need a Solar Battery
Load-shedding isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s lost time, lost income, and unnecessary stress.
Frequent outages disrupting work, refrigeration, and home comfort
Rising fuel costs and noisy, high-maintenance generators
Damaged electronics from sudden ZESA power surges
Wasted solar power when panels produce more than you can use during the day
Benefits of a Solar Panel + Battery Storage System
24/7 Reliable Power — Your lights stay on, even when ZESA goes off
Clean & Quiet Energy — No fumes, no noise
Lower Long-Term Costs — Save on fuel and generator maintenance
Protect Your Equipment — Stable power extends inverter and panel life
Safe for Electronics — Smooth power delivery, no sudden surges
Adds Property Value — Energy independence is a real value proposition when you want to rent out or sell your property
Example Use Cases
✅ Harare Homeowner: Installed a lithium battery backup — hasn’t touched the generator in months.
✅ Bulawayo Poultry Farmer: Runs freezers and lights through load-shedding using a 10 kWh system.
✅ Off-Grid Gokwe Family: 100% solar-powered living — lights, TV, borehole pump, and fridge.
How Do Solar Batteries Work?
A solar battery stores excess power generated by your panels during the day for use at night or during outages.
Core components:
Solar panels — capture sunlight
Charge controller — regulates charging
Battery bank — stores power
Inverter — converts stored power into usable electricity
How it fits in:
Sunlight → Panels → Battery → Home/Business
Unlike car batteries, solar batteries are built for deep discharge cycles, long lifespan, and safe daily use. Find out more in our solar battery beginner’s guide.
Types of Solar Batteries in Zimbabwe
Lithium Batteries
High efficiency and long lifespan (10–15 years)
Maintenance-free and compact
Ideal for both homes and businesses
Gel Batteries
Gel batteries are more affordable upfront
3–5 year lifespan with minimal maintenance
Great for smaller or budget-friendly systems
The best solar battery brands in Zimbabwe include Pylontech, BYD, Freedom Won and Voltek.
How to Choose the Right Battery
Key factors to consider:
System size (kWh/Ah) — how much power you use daily
Battery voltage (12V/24V/48V) — matches your inverter setup
Depth of Discharge (DoD) — how much capacity can be used safely
Cycle Life — how many charge/discharge cycles before replacement
Budget and Usage Patterns
Example setups:
Small Home (lights, TV, fridge): Gel or AGM battery
Medium Business (computers, freezers): Lithium-ion
Off-Grid Farm (irrigation, borehole): High-capacity Lithium or AGM
