Continuous vs Peak Power — What Every Homeowner Should Know Before Choosing a Solar Battery

When choosing a solar battery for your home, it’s important to understand continuous power and peak power — two key performance ratings that determine how your system runs.

Continuous Power refers to the amount of power your battery can supply constantly. This is what keeps your lights, fans, and other appliances running non-stop throughout the day and night.

Peak Power, on the other hand, is the maximum power your battery can deliver for short bursts — typically lasting just a few seconds. This comes into play when appliances like your fridge or air conditioner compressor start up and draw a quick surge of energy.

Think of it like this:

• Continuous Power = steady effort (your daily pace)

• Peak Power = quick push (for heavy starting loads)

When comparing solar batteries, both ratings matter. A battery with high continuous power can handle more appliances running at once, while a good peak power rating ensures your system doesn’t trip during sudden surges.
