The Price of Solar Batteries in Zimbabwe (with 2023 Reviews and Recommendations)
In this blog, we break down everything you need to know about what affects the pricing of solar batteries, and also what features to look for so you can pick the right battery for your home.

The Use of Battery:

There are many factors to take into consideration when shopping for solar batteries for your home solar power system. Two things to keep in mind are the types of solar batteries you are looking for and what exactly you intend to get out of the battery. This determines the price of solar batteries. When shopping for solar batteries you should consider following the capacity ratings, size, efficiency, and most importantly the price.
 

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES AND SIZES OF BATTERIES?

There are four types of solar batteries. These are Lithium, Flooded Lead Acid, Gel, and AGM Batteries. Lithium batteries provide more energy but they are the most expensive. 

Here’s a detailed post on the pros and cons of lithium batteries.

Gel batteries are cheaper but don’t give as much energy. 

Here’s a detailed look at the pros and cons of gel batteries.

LEAD-ACID SOLAR BATTERIES:

To start with, lead-acid batteries have been used for decades and tend to be the cheapest solar battery option. Their prices range from $220 to $400 depending on size and capacity. However, because of their chemistry, they require more space per kWh storage than Lithium-ion batteries. This means you have to make sure you have adequate space to install them. 

Despite the fact that they take up more space, Lead acid batteries remain the most preferred brand because they are affordable. This is so because they are cost-effective. 

They might not be as efficient as Lithium-ion batteries but they get the job done. Lead acid batteries are 80-85% efficient depending on the model and condition. If one is to do a cost and benefit-analysis, it is clear that the lead acid battery is the best in terms of short-term costs and affordability.

Here Are Some Lead Iron Batteries and Their Prices.


Battery Price Type

  1. 240ah Acro Gel Battery: $379 Lead–acid
  2. All grand Solar Gel Batteries: $335 Lead-acid
  3. All grand 100ah Gel Battery: $220 Lead-acid
  4. ARCO 105 ah Gel Solar Battery: $255 Lead-acid
  5. Trojan Solar Battery 205 AH: $390 Lead-acid

LITHIUM-ION SOLAR BATTERIES

Moving on, when it comes to deep-cycle batteries, lithium-ion batteries are the new kid on block. Lithium-ion batteries are 3 times more expensive than Lead acid batteries. Based on this you might immediately conclude that Lithium-ion is not cost-effective.

For a proper lithium-ion battery, you might need to part with over $1000USD. However, despite being relatively new and more expensive, lithium-ion batteries have quickly become the favorite solar energy storage option among some homeowners. 

Lithium-ion batteries are 95% efficient, have an average 10 years life span and they are also smaller and lighter than lead-acid batteries. Their prices however remain a concern for a lot of clients because they are expensive.

Below Is Lithium-ion Batteries and Their Prices.


Battery Price Type

  1. BYD – 4 800WH: $900 Lithium-ion
  2. BlueNova 100ah12v: $600 Lithium-ion
  3. Polyntech Lithium -ion US3000 Solar Batteries $1 485 Lithium-ion
  4. Pylontech US 200 LI 48 150 AH: $1 300 Lithium-ion
  5. Pylontech US 2000LI 48V/750ah: $2 400 Lithium-ion

In conclusion, it is imperative for our customers to take into cognizance the efficiency, size, and capacity of solar batteries when looking at the prizes of solar batteries.

Solar Packages in Zimbabwe - A 3KVA Solar Panel System For The Zimbabwe Home!

A 3kVA Solar System is one of the most popular sized Residential Solar Systems in Zimbabwe. A 3KVA Solar Power System will generate approximately 12 units of electricity (called kilowatt-hours or kWhs) per day. As mentioned, this is about 2/3 of the electricity usage of a modest Zimbabwean home. At current pricing, you can expect to pay about $2,000.00USD for a good 3kVA Solar System installed on your roof.  Is 3kVA of Solar System Enough for a Home in Zimbabwe? The experts who deal in solar said that three kilowatts (kW) of a Solar Power System is enough for an average family of three to four people. But for a larger family or for running an AC at home, five to seven kilowatts of a solar system will be required. Back in 2014, a 1 kW solar system was sufficient for the efficient running of a home. But today given that inverter batteries are becoming more prevalent and popular, a 3kVA system is at least required. A 3kW solar system will generate 12 to 15 units per day of power which las
