As solar energy systems become more affordable and reliable, more homeowners are seeking efficient ways to store excess electricity. Choosing the right battery for your home energy storage system is critical. The two most common types are Lead-Acid and Lithium-Ion. But which one is right for your home?


Quick Comparison


FeatureLead-AcidLithium-Ion (LiFePO4)
