Home battery storage system is an energy storage system designed for households. Usually, a family may need a residential battery storage system which capacity is 5kWh to 10kWh, compatible with PV solar system to satisfy their electricity consumption, achieve peak shaving and valley filling and save expense.
In areas where unexpected outages often occur due to storms, earthquakes and other disasters, people can store backup power with energy storage systems as emergency power supply for home appliances, ensure normal life won’t be interrupted and make people peace of mind.
How does residential energy storage systems work?
In short, the systems store energy from sunshine via solar panel at daytime and discharge at night; or charge battery from grid at off-peak consumption period and discharge at peak consumption period, saving bills according to the price difference.
A battery energy storage system mainly contains battery and inverter, and battery occupies big ratio of system cost, to choose a cost-effective battery is important. There are many things you need consider before purchase home battery packs.
What type of battery to choose?
Now on market, the safest lithium cell technology is (LFP) LiFePO4, it is non-flammable, non-toxic and fully recyclable, using LFP battery cells can ensure system’s stability and reliability. What’s more, the cycle life of LFP is longer, means your system can be used for more times and reduce average operating cost in long term.
Modular Design is Good Choice
You may notice that most of storage batteries are modular design, why is that? Different families have unique electricity consumption daily, it is not possible to design a standard capacity for all users, so manufacturers decided to make battery module and make a suitable configuration to cater for different demands. Some are 2.56kWh/unit, some are 5.12kWh/unit and there are other figures, modular design is more flexible and easier to carry and install.
Installation Methods of Home Battery Storage System
There are 2 installation methods: floor or wall mounted, wall mounted has requirement to wall because batteries are heavy (10kWh is about 100+kG), on floor installation is easier to conduct, and no damage to the wall.
Dowell Home Energy Storage Battery
Dowell designed a residential energy storage battery pack with most reliable lithium technology, inbuilt with CATL brand LFP lithium-ion cells, the storage capacity starts with 5.12kWh, up to 4 pack in parallel by stacking, 10-year service life, cycles >6000, a 5kW solar energy storage system can store 15.5MWh energy in its lifespan.
As it is modular designed and installed on floor, installation and inspection will be very easy to handle, if any battery modular out of function, just take it out and the system operation won’t be affected.
In addition, the appearance is well designed, elegant and fashionable, looks like a smart home appliance, and can even decorate the house. Do you like it? Get more details here: iPack home battery
