Home / Solar Solutions / Residential ESS

Use more of the energy your home generates.

Match solar generation, battery storage and backup priorities to the way your household uses power.

What changes at home

Three outcomes a coordinated system is designed to deliver.

Each one depends on the configuration and the conditions at your site — not on a brochure claim.

✓

More self-consumption

Store surplus daytime generation and use it in the evening, instead of exporting it at a low tariff. The usable share depends on load profile, tariff and battery size.

✓

Clear visibility

Monitoring shows generation, storage and consumption separately, so you can see what the system is doing rather than inferring it from a bill.

✓

Backup that is defined, not promised

We list which loads are backed up and for how long, then specify the transfer arrangement. Backup is a design decision, not a blanket claim.

Find a configuration that fits your home

Approved models are released market by market.

Every proposal states the exact model and the five figures below. If a figure is still under test, the proposal says so.

✓

Usable capacity (kWh)

Usable, not nameplate — stated at the agreed depth of discharge and end-of-life criterion.

✓

Continuous power (kW)

Continuous output at the stated ambient temperature; the overload window is stated separately.

✓

Phase and connection

Single-phase or three-phase, and the grid connection arrangement the model is approved for.

✓

Backup limit

Which loads can be backed up, the transfer time, and the maximum backed-up power.

✓

Market availability

The markets where the model is released, its certification status, and the lead-time basis.

✓

What we will not do

We will not quote a rating that is not approved for your market. If a figure is still under test, the proposal says so.

Deep dive

What actually determines a residential storage outcome

Home energy storage has a marketing problem. On paper the pitch is simple: store the electricity you generate, use it when you need it, buy less from the grid. In practice, most homeowners who buy a battery system discover three things within the first month — it was harder to install than the brochure suggested, it does less than they expected, and nobody will tell them plainly what it will actually save.

For distributors and installers, the consequences are more concrete. Callback rates rise. Commissioning takes longer than quoted. And when something goes wrong, the installer is stuck mediating between a battery supplier, an inverter supplier, and whoever built the distribution panel — none of whom consider the problem theirs.

There is a structural reason for this. Residential storage is sold as a product but delivered as a system: cells, a converter, a distribution interface, a monitoring layer, and an installation. The product is chosen in a showroom and the system is commissioned in a garage. Most of what determines the outcome happens on the system side, where the buyer has the least visibility.

This page sets out what a residential storage project actually depends on, and where an integrated approach changes the arithmetic.

Read the detailed engineering discussion

The three failure modes we see most often

The interface problem.

Battery, inverter, and low-voltage distribution are typically sourced from three different manufacturers. Each works correctly on its own. The problems appear at the boundaries: communication protocol mismatches, conflicting protection settings, and coordination of charge and discharge limits. When these surface, each vendor can reasonably claim their product is behaving as specified.

The sizing problem.

Storage is often sized on a rule of thumb rather than on the household's actual load profile. A system that is too small cycles to its limits every day and degrades faster than expected; one that is too large never reaches an economical depth of discharge. Neither outcome is obvious from the specification sheet.

The service problem.

When a system is assembled from parts, warranty responsibility is fragmented. A fault in month fourteen means the homeowner, the installer, and three suppliers all need to agree on whose part failed before anything gets repaired.

What an integrated approach changes

One responsible party.

Storage, conversion, and low-voltage distribution come from one supplier, under one warranty, with one technical contact. The homeowner and the installer each have exactly one number to call.

Interfaces designed once.

Because the same engineering team specifies the battery, the converter, and the distribution stage, communication and protection coordination are resolved in design rather than in the field. Commissioning becomes a checklist rather than a negotiation.

Sizing based on the load profile.

We ask for twelve months of consumption data, or install monitoring first, before recommending a capacity. The objective is not the largest system the roof can support — it is the smallest system that delivers the outcome the household is actually paying for.

Honest performance expectations.

We will tell you when storage is not the right investment for a particular household — for example where consumption is low, the tariff is flat, or the roof orientation limits generation. A project that should not have been sold costs more in reputation than it earns in margin.

Typical configurations

Single-phase, 5–10 kWh

Apartment or small house with a balcony solar system. Wall-mounted, single-phase, sized for evening and overnight load shifting rather than full independence.

Three-phase, 10–20 kWh

Detached house with a rooftop array and an electric vehicle. Three-phase connection, higher continuous output, and integrated low-voltage distribution so the storage and the main panel are delivered as one coordinated package.

Retrofit onto an existing PV system

For households that already have panels but no storage. The critical question here is inverter compatibility — we ask for the existing inverter model and generation data before quoting, rather than after.

Technical read: the four parameters that decide whether the numbers hold

Depth of discharge, not nameplate capacity, sets cycle life.

A cell rated for thousands of cycles at eighty percent depth of discharge will deliver materially fewer at one hundred percent. This is why the usable capacity we quote is a design decision rather than a marketing figure, and why the reserve floor is set deliberately rather than left to the algorithm inside the inverter.

Temperature drives both calendar ageing and cycle ageing, and the two compound.

A pack held at thirty-five degrees ages several times faster than one held at twenty degrees, even at identical throughput. Installation location is therefore an electrical parameter, not a matter of convenience. We ask where the unit will live before we recommend a chemistry or a capacity.

Round-trip efficiency is quoted at the best point on the curve, not at the point your system will actually operate.

Real efficiency depends on part-load behaviour, stand-by consumption, and how much time the system spends at low state of charge. We publish the curve rather than a single peak figure, because the peak figure is the one that almost never occurs in service.

Backup changeover time has to be matched to the loads that matter.

A server rack, a sump pump, and a heating controller have entirely different tolerance to a supply interruption. Rather than claiming a single milliseconds figure, we map the critical loads first and then specify the transfer arrangement that actually protects them.

Integration considerations

Protection coordination.

Adding storage behind the meter changes fault current levels and protection requirements. This has to be evaluated at the design stage, not discovered during commissioning.

Thermal environment.

Where the system is installed matters as much as what is installed. A unit in an unheated garage in a cold climate will behave differently from one in a ventilated utility room — we ask about the installation location before recommending a configuration.

Grid connection rules.

Export limits, anti-islanding requirements, and registration obligations vary by country and frequently change. We confirm the applicable rules for your market before finalising a design.

Monitoring and data.

The system should produce data the household can understand and the installer can act on — not a dashboard only an engineer can read.

Common questions

Can a battery system work without solar panels?
Yes, but the economics change substantially. Without generation, storage only shifts consumption from expensive hours to cheap ones. That can be worthwhile on a dynamic tariff with a large peak-to-offpeak spread; it is rarely worthwhile on a flat tariff.
How long does installation take?
For a plug-in or wall-mounted configuration, typically half a day once the site is prepared. For three-phase installations with integrated distribution work, plan for a full day. We provide a commissioning checklist so the installer knows in advance what will be required.
What happens at end of life?
We publish an end-of-support policy covering spare parts availability and firmware support periods after the last shipment. We would rather state this now than have a partner discover it later.
Which markets do you support?
We confirm market-by-market, based on the certification status and grid connection rules applicable to each. Our certification roadmap is published on the Quality page and updated as statuses change.
