How Battery Storage is Revolutionising Renewable Energy in...
12th Nov 24
Battery Storage for a holiday house.
Anthony already knows benefits of Solar Panels as already own a property with solar system in place.
In fact, Anthony is so pleased with his existing Solar Panels, he asked us to design a system that will work for his holiday house.
We were challenged to design a solar system and find the way of using free energy while Anthony was not there.
Because Anthony knew so much about solar panels, we needed to sharpen our pencils to impress our client and a bluer idea of a battery storage was staring to come alive.
Large battery storage and smaller solar panels system.
We have focused on best system efficiency. First of all, we needed to understand how energy is being used. To do this, we broke down entire year to months and weeks.
We founded that Anthony was away for most of weekdays and mainly was using house for weekends. This lead us to a fundamental design decision.
We needed a large battery storage system that will provide enough free energy over weekend so there is no need to purchase any more from grid.
And to keep everything charged properly, 4 kWp Solar system was installed that has enough capacity to charge battery storage as well as to provide power for any household appliances that could be used at the same time.
After some setup issues, two battery storage packs were synchronised together.
Two LG batteries were set up in two charging modes. One 10 kWh kit was coupled through DC where second 10 kWh battery unit was engaged through AC connection.
Two SolarEdge new HD inverters are communicating between them and distributing generated free solar energy to either house or battery packs.
Worth mentioning is that one battery storage kit doesn’t actually need solar panels to operate.
Simply, we can charge one battery from grid at night. This could be done in conjunction with switching to Economy Tariff. So, you can charge battery storage at night when energy is cheap and use stored energy during day when is more expensive to buy.
Michael at Griff has done work for me both commercial and residential. Excellent ability to understand and execute every job with a great attention to detail and positive attitude.
Meeting Michael and the GRIFF team was a breath of fresh air. Michael and his entire team were on-hand and available through the whole process to cope with the inevitable challenges of a project this size, and their ongoing quality assurance throughout the programme ensured that on move-in day, we did not even have one item which was not fully operational. I would thoroughly recommend GRIFF tor commercial projects of any scale.
The onsite team from Griff were super respectful and got everything done in terrible weather conditions.
Griff Services ltd are an extremely dedicated and professional contractor, on which nothing seems to hinder their performance. Mike and Joanne has an in-depth knowledge of products and applications required for each job. We as his electrical supplier can only recommend any potential works his way with the upmost faith the project will be satisfied completely. Good luck in the future.
