Store your solar energy for use anytime. Never lose power again during load-shedding or blackouts. Get a Free Solar Battery Quote on WhatsApp.

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

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

Common Questions About Solar Batteries

Q: Do they work during cloudy weather?
Yes — batteries store excess energy from sunny days for later use.

Q: How long do solar batteries last?
Lithium lasts 10–15 years; gel lasts 3–5 years with good care.

Q: Can I add batteries to my existing solar setup?
Yes, most systems can be upgraded easily.

Q: How many batteries do I need?
Depends on your daily energy use — we’ll size it for you.

Q: Do they need maintenance?
Lithium: none. Gel: occasional checks on charge levels.
