Efficiency is the sum of energy discharged from the battery divided by sum of energy charged into the battery (i.e., kWh in/kWh out). This must be summed over a time duration of many cycles so that initial and final states of charge become less important in the calculation of the value.
[pdf] Also, a typical LiFePo4 battery for solar maintains a higher charge and discharge efficiency, with up to 98% round-trip efficiency possible in off-grid energy storage applications.
[pdf] The solar payback period measures how long it takes for your system’s savings to equal its total cost. For solar generator systems — which combine PV panels, inverters, and lithium battery storage — this period typically ranges from 3 to 8 years, depending on use case and region.
[pdf] Their efficiency rates usually fall between 70% and 85%. This lower efficiency is partly due to higher internal resistance and the chemical processes involved, which result in greater energy losses.
[pdf] Lithium-ion batteries are by far the most efficient solar battery available today. These batteries boast high round trip efficiency (often over 90%), long cycle life, and a high depth of discharge.
