Where to find cheap battery for a home solar power system?

Many people are really keen to use renewable energy source such as solar power to reduce their home energy consumption.

When the energy is generate by the solar array, most of the time, it will not be used immediately.

Most people with a Do It Yourself (DIY) solar energy system will build a battery bank to store the electricity generated. The size of the battery bank will be dependent on your household energy requirement.

Power will be drawn from the battery bank at night or when there is heavy cloud coverage. To have sufficient power, it may be a good idea to have 15 – 20 units of battery.

Getting 15 – 20 units of battery can be quite expensive. There are many ways to reduce your budget though.
