The adoption of solar energy in Uganda has revolutionized daily operations for homes and businesses in Uganda. However, without proper storage mechanisms, a significant portion of this sunlight can be squandered. This is where solar battery storage systems come in handy.
Solar battery storage systems allow one to store excess energy produced during the day to be used during the night or during power interruptions.
Previously, users had to be grid dependent, but now, stored power can be accessed whenever the user wishes to. Reduced blackouts and lower energy bills add to the benefits.
We at Fern Engineering & Supplies provide, install, and maintain solar battery storage systems for residential and commercial needs. We ensure that customers receive maximum value and energy savings through the systems we provide.
We supply a variety of batteries. Lithium-ion batteries offer the advantage of being lighter, having a longer lifespan, and, needing low maintenance. For smaller installations, Lead-acid batteries are cost-effective and efficient. We supply hybrid battery systems that combine cost-effectiveness and performance as well.
Regardless of whether you want to power your home entirely during night-time hours, keep your business operational during load shedding, or reserve power for emergency situations, we can help you with tailored solutions.
At Fern Engineering and Supplies, we offer complete solar battery storage systems from supply to the installation, integration, and subsequent servicing.
We assess your requirements as a first step. This involves looking at your energy consumption, the critical appliances, the desired backup time, and prioritization. From this, we can suggest an appropriate battery type, size, configuration, and number.
We source batteries from reputable manufacturers who have reliable batteries for the Ugandan environment. Our products are specially designed for the high temperatures, humidity, and the multiple charge cycles that are the norm here.
Your battery system is installed by our technicians who integrate it with the solar panels, inverters, and the entire electrical system. They ensure that the system is properly installed for the safety and efficiency of the entire system and for ease of use.
We give you other additional options and you can monitor the charging and usage of your batteries.
We offer maintenance services for smart battery systems that include checking connections, cell balancing, and firmware GPS updates for long-term reliability. In the case of a fault, our repair team ensures that any issues with the backup power systems are rectified promptly.
We offer professionally designed and installed battery systems that include simple backups for light and electronic systems, and large-scale battery banks for industrial use.
How long will a solar battery sustain power in a home?
It varies based on battery capacity and power consumption. While a small battery could sustain lights and electronics for a few hours, a fully stocked battery bank could keep supplying power to appliances for a full day or more.
Which is better lithium ion or lead acid batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries have a longer lifespan, are more efficient and require less maintenance, and less space. Lead acid batteries are cheaper, but require more work to keep them in service and have a shorter lifespan.
Can I add batteries to my current solar system?
Yes. In most situations, we are able to incorporate batteries to your existing solar system with little to no modification.
How long do solar charge batteries last for?
Most solar batteries will last for 5 to 15 years based on type, usage, and maintenance.
Can I work with batteries up in the clouds?
Yes but the charging process will be slower. The majority of systems are designed so that grid power could be used as a backup for charging.
Can I work with solar batteries that have no solar panels?
Yes. Using the grid to charge the batteries will enable them to serve as backup power, but the savings won’t be the same as with solar charging.
How do I know what size battery I need?
We determine it from your daily consumption, critical devices, and how long you need backup power.
Do solar batteries need maintenance?
Lithium-ion batteries need very minimal maintenance. Lead-acid batteries require water level checks and terminal cleaning regularly.
Is solar battery storage safe?
Yes. Our systems are equipped with safety measures that prevent overcharging, overheating, and short-circuits.
Can I expand my battery storage later?
Yes. Many systems are modular and allow you to add additional batteries as your energy requirements increase.
Solar battery storage enhances your solar panels by ensuring you do not lose energy generated during sunny periods. All excess energy can be stored and used at your convenience, day or night.
Fern Engineering & Supplies simplifies the selection, installation, and maintenance processes of solar battery systems for seamless power supply during outages and peak hours. From small residential setups to large commercial systems, we have the expertise and products to get it right.
We welcome you to book a call or visit our office to discuss your energy requirements. With the appropriate solar battery storage systems, you can enjoy consistently reliable, clean, and cost-effective energy, regardless of grid conditions.
