Home Battery Comparison: AC-coupled systems

AC battery systems, technically known as AC-coupled battery systems, contain an integrated inverter that enables them to operate as a stand-alone energy storage system for solar energy storage or backup power applications. Most of these systems can also be retrofitted to buildings with an existing solar installation.

Battery pricing explained

Battery cost estimates:

• ** The battery upfront cost estimate is based on various distributors and wholesalers. The cost does not include installation or any electrical alterations which may be required.

• AC-coupled systems have an inbuilt inverter-charger, which increases the cost, thus, the higher upfront cost compared to simple DC-coupled batteries, which require a separate inverter.

NOTES:

• * DOD and cycle life values are estimated based on manufacturers’ specifications.

• EOL = End of life: Typical EOF is when the battery capacity has reduced to 60 to 80% of the original capacity, learn more about the expected battery life and rates of degradation in our detailed battery review.
