Additional battery types, including nickel-cadmium and flow batteries, are primarily used in commercial applications. You'll rarely see them in home solar setups, but the technology may improve and decrease in price in the coming years to make them more suitable for use in smaller systems. Lithium-ion is currently the gold standard for solar power.

Large-scale solar systems are currently testing the viability of flow batteries, such as with the Viejas community in California . Flow batteries have a 100% depth of discharge, meaning the solar power system can fully deplete the energy in the battery without any long-term damage or loss of functionality.
The drop in efficiency is around 1%-2% for each conversion. In most cases, the best solar battery for a home solar installation is a lithium battery. They are able to hold more energy in a small amount of space, discharge most of their stored energy, and they have high efficiencies.
