LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate)
A lithium-ion battery chemistry (LiFePO₄) known for long cycle life (4,000-10,000 cycles), high safety (no thermal runaway), and lower energy density compared to NMC.
Why It Matters
LFP has become the default chemistry for home batteries. Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ 5P, and Franklin WH all use LFP. It's safer, lasts longer, and uses no cobalt or nickel.

A system that stores excess solar energy for use when the sun isn't shining, providing backup power during outages.
Cycle Life
The number of complete charge-discharge cycles a battery can perform before its capacity drops below a specified threshold (typically 70-80% of original capacity).
