Can I use telecom batteries

[Martynmiffy]

Hi there here are the panels
what would you suggest for a controller and batteries please

[SunEagle]

I guess I am a little confused. That inverter is not a charge controller so it is probably not the right equipment to charge batteries. It looks like a grid tie type inverter.

What are the specs of those panels? That will get you closer to finding a quality charge controller and batteries. If being off grid is what you want to be.

Hello Martynmiffy and welcome to Solar Panel Talk

Based on what I have heard and know usually telecom batteries were not designed for daily cycling which is needed for a solar energy storage system. A telecom battery is usually designed to be standby power in case standard power is lost similar to a UPS battery.

Sure you can use a telecom battery but you should expect them to not work in a much shorter time frame then a quality deep cycle battery.
