STORAGE SOLUTION
Unused PV power is stored in a battery and used during a power outage or when PV production is insufficient. When there is a power outage, a combination of PV and battery is used to power important loads such as the refrigerator, TV, lights and AC outlets, day or night.
MAXIMIZING SELF-CONSUMPTION
A storage system is set up to maximize the amount of solar energy used by the homeowner to enable energy independence and unused PV power is stored in a battery and used when needed.
