Project Details
This specific Torquay home, similar to many in the town, had already embraced a solar PV system. However, it wasn’t operating at its peak efficiency. The homeowners realised that nearly 40% of the energy captured by their solar panels wasn't being used. To think, almost half the energy collected during Torquay's sun-drenched days was merely dissappearing! With winter evenings and increased energy consumption, there was a tangible need to store this elusive energy for those sunless hours.
That’s when the DePower Battery Storage came into the picture.
The decision was made to introduce a retro fit 9.6Kwh DePower battery, perfectly paired with a Growatt inverter. This choice was informed by DePower's known compact, aesthetically pleasing, and highly effective battery designs.
The DePower battery’s adaptability is one of its standout features. It can effortlessly be integrated into a fresh hybrid system or, as in the case of our Torquay homeowners, retrofitted into an existing solar framework. Considering its competitive pricing, it's no wonder that it's swiftly rising in popularity among renewable energy enthusiasts.
Why is a battery storage system such an essential addition to solar panel systems?
Continuity and Efficiency: While solar energy is a marvel, it does have its constraint - the sun doesn’t shine round the clock. Whether it’s nighttime, overcast conditions, or the occasional British rain, these factors can impede consistent solar energy generation. This is where the DePower battery shines. By hoarding excess power, it guarantees a steady energy output, day and night.
Emergency Backup
Torquay, like any city, can get power disruptions. In such scenarios, the energy preserved in a battery storage system becomes a beacon of hope. It offers an emergency backup, ensuring households remain powered even during unexpected grid failures.
Cost-Effective
With rising energy tariffs, letting 40% of the harvested energy go to waste isn’t economical. The DePower battery ensures that homeowners leverage every ounce of their solar energy. By conserving excess energy, it reduces the reliance on grid power, leading to substantial long-term savings.
If you're a resident of Torquay with an existing solar PV infrastructure or pondering a new installation, consider the potential of the DePower Battery Storage. By choosing this, you’ll be contributing positively to the environment while also ensuring maximal utility and cost-effectiveness.
