While advances in technology have brought us a very high quality of life, we are still not immune to the damage that natural disasters can do to people’s lives. If you live in a place where natural disasters frequently cause power outages, you may want to consider installing a set of home battery backups to power you when your grid is not working. These battery backup systems can consist of lead acid or lithium batteries, but LiFePo4 battery is the best choice for solar battery backup systems. Residential energy storage is undoubtedly one of the hottest industries right now, and there are a lot of options for home batteries for consumers, and BSLBATT, as experts in the industry, we’ve highlighted a few of the hottest LiFePO4 solar batteries that are above on the market, so if you don’t already have a home battery installed or are in the process of choosing the right one for your home, follow the article to find out which brands you should be investing in for the year 2024. Tesla: Powerwall 3 There’s no doubt that Tesla’s home batteries still have unassailable supremacy in the residential energy storage industry, and with the Powerwall 3 expected to go on sale in 2024, it’s a very worthy product for Tesla’s loyal fans. What to expect from the new Powerwall 3: 1. Powerwall 3 in the electrochemical technology has been switched from NMC to LiFePO4, which also proves that LiFePO4 is indeed more suitable for energy storage battery, to ensure the safety and stability of the energy storage system. 2. Enhanced continuous power: Compared to the Tesla Powerwall II Plus (PW+), the continuous power of the Powerwall 3 has been increased by 20-30% to 11.5kW. 3. Support for more photovoltaic inputs: The Powerwall 3 can now support up to 14kW of photovoltaic input, which is an advantage for homeowners with more solar panels. 4. Lighter weight: The overall weight of Powerwall 3 is only 130kG, which is 26kG less than Powerwall II, making it easier to handle and install. What are the Powerwall 3 specs?
