HBL
BATTERIES FOR SOLAR APPLICATION
PRODUCT CATALOGUE
HBL is an acknowledged leader in the field of specialized batteries and DC power systems. A strong R & D focus
and a broad product range enable HBL to offer its customers the appropriate technology suited for their
applications.

Solar Photovoltaic Applications:

The need for renewable energy resources is increasing for past two decades to conserve the fossil fuels and to
meet the growing power demand. Solar power is one of the renewable power resources. The challenges with the
Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) systems are the storage of energy during sunny days and the availability of solar energy
is intermittent.

The solar battery requirements are critical as the charge input from solar photovoltaic systems is insufficient some
times to keep the batteries fully charged. During this sun-less days, batteries are discharged but not charged. This
condition result in battery operating in partial stage of charge (PSOC), cycling and sometimes resulting in to Deep
discharges. Also, solar systems are installed in open atmosphere most of the times exposing the batteries to
extreme temperatures.

Lead acid batteries in general may fail due to Sulphation, Stratification, Active material shedding and corrosion.
These are the important factors considered while designing solar batteries from HBL.

HBL has specifically developed two battery technologies to meet the SPV requirements:

1. Tubular Gel VRLA Batteries (2V and 12V)

2. Low Maintenance Lead Acid Batteries (2V and 12V)

These two product ranges uses a tubular construction positive plate for longer life.

Applications:
Rural Electrification
Street Lighting / Home Lighting
Telecommunication
Offshore Platforms
Hybrid Power Systems
Navigational Aids
