I am planning to install solar to power my home. After some consultations here and there, I am made to understand a 5kva system will be enough to do the job. Further I have learnt that there are two types of batteries, the normal ones and the lithium-ion batteries with the lithium type being the more costly but longer lasting. Is there someone in this forum who has experience in this area who can assist especially those who are already using solar? Is it also true that lithium ion batteries can explode if installed wrongly?
