Home energy storage draws more and more attention, especially with the spreading popularity of renewable energy sources such as solar panels. Energy storage systems allow households to store energy generated during the day and use it later when the sun is not shining. This is particularly important because energy storage can reduce energy dependence on the grid, increases self-sufficiency and can lead to significant cost savings in the long term.

Why is it needed?

Conventional electricity grids cannot always handle the intermittent generation of renewable energy. For example, solar energy is only available during the day when many people are not at home. Energy storage allows people to use their own energy when they need it, reducing the amount of grid energy consumed during peak evening hours.

Benefits:

• Energy saving: Peak consumption costs can be reduced.
• Energy independence: Power can be supplied during power outages if a suitable inverter is integrated into the system.
• Environment: The use of renewable energy sources reduces the ecological footprint.
