Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar battery monitoring system (BMS)?

The primary role of a BMS for solar is managing the charge and discharge of the solar battery bank. It’s like the brain of the solar battery monitoring system, continually tracking the state of charge, voltage, and temperature of each cell.

What is a battery management system (BMS)?

Battery Management Systems (BMS) are vital components for solar storage, streamlining the charge and discharge of the solar battery bank while monitoring important parameters like voltage, temperature, and state of charge.

How much does a BMS cost for solar storage?

Understanding the cost of installing a BMS for solar storage is essential when planning your solar energy system. The cost varies depending on the type and size of the system, as well as the specific features required. On average, you can expect to pay between $500 and $2000 for a BMS.

What is the maximum operating voltage for a BMS?

Attention: The maximum operating voltage of the BMS is 60V. The 16s configuration is only feasible for LFP cells. For NMC cells, a maximum number of 14 cells may be used. The board dimensions are 70x135 mm² so that it can be easily integrated into existing housings with typical 18650 or 2170 cells.
