Solar Energy Storage Systems: Everything You Need to Know
Most solar energy storage systems have a lifespan between 5 and 15 years. However, the actual lifespan depends on the technology, usage, and maintenance. Lithium-ion batteries generally have a longer lifespan (around 10-15 years), while lead-acid batteries may need replacement after 5-10 years (Dunlop, 2015).

Using steam storage tanks instead of accumulators
Accumulator to solar ratio is 0.84 and accumulators store 5MJ. 0.84 * 5 = 4.2, so for every solar panel we need 4.2MJ of storage. One storage tank of 165 degree steam holds 750MJ / 4.2 = 178.571428571 solar panels per steam tank. For 1 solar panel you thus need 1 / 178.571428571 steam tanks or 0.056, same as your result.

Do I have to discharge the Steam Deck''s battery to below 25% and put it into battery storage …
Putting it into battery storage mode (which can be done at 80% or lower charge) is a fat-finger precaution so you don''t power it up while opened before battery is disconnected. It''s all optional of course, but I''d say at least the latter is a very sensible concern.
