The main types of lead-acid solar batteries are Flooded Valve Regulated Lead Acid Batteries (VRLAB), Gelled Electrolyte Lead Acid Batteries (GEL), an d Advanced Glass Mat Valve Regulated Sealed Lead Acid Batteries (AGM or VRSLAB). . The function of lead-acid solar batteries is to store the electrical energy generated from solar panels during sunlight hours. • Life cycle assessment. Therefore, lead-carbon hybrid batteries and. . Alternatives: Consider other battery options such as lithium-ion, Nickel-Cadmium, or flow batteries for potentially better performance and longevity in solar energy systems. However, as with all technologies, they come with a blend of benefits and drawbacks.
