The cost attached to storing batteries with solar energy is usually dictated by the battery's brand, chemistry, features, and most importantly, capacity. Those with higher amounts and advanced chemistry like lithium -ion or LiFePO4 attract higher prices. Brand reputation alongside possessing features like battery management systems increases prices even further. Market competition and economies can influence price. To make informed purchasing decisions, consumers need to consider the performance, warranty, energy savings in the long run, and the cost of the solar energy storage batteries.
