A solar battery is a device that stores electric charge in chemical form, and you can use that energy at any time, even when your solar panels are not generating power. Although the battery backup systems that are coupled with solar panels are often referred to as solar batteries, they can store charge from any electricity source. This means you can recharge a battery with grid power when solar pa...
