Hybrid Solar Panels with Battery Storage installed into New Houses

Friday, May 24th 2019 in Prime Hybrid Energy Systems

Together Housing is installing hybrid energy systems into new houses.

This first phase of new build housing by Together Housing will see the installation of solar panels on 250 homes fitted. Each house will include a battery creating a hybrid energy systems. The solar panels are complimented by smart battery storage units. These domestic smart batteries store generated electricity until needed. These batteries enable most of the power generated by the panels to be used in the property. Supporting energy usage during the day and night, when the residents need it most. Installing hybrid solar panels with battery storage installed into new houses saves homes money on their bills.

Solar Panels and Battery Storage

When domestic solar panel array are combined with a smart battery system it is called solar and storage. These combined technologies create a home power system supporting a homes’ needs both day and night.

The project is expected to save each household up to £300 a year on their electricity bills. It will also reduce their electricity based carbon emissions by 70-80%, an equivalent of 845kg per house per year. That’s a total of 633,600kg over the lifetime of the three year pilot.

Shifting to Solar and Storage

This shift from just installing solar panels to an integerated solar and storage solution increases the energy saving. Solar only saves around 30% of a homes electricity needs of a home for a year. By adding storage that increases up to 80% of energy saving. The biggest benefit comes from storage of electricity to when a household needs it most in the evenings and mornings. Solar and Battery storage, saves renewable solar generated during the day to use when you need it. This makes a huge impact on lowering your utility bills. Hybrid energy systems use a smart battery system which actively monitors your energy needs maximising your stored energy usage. This will minimise your grid demand.

A typical hybrid system makes a home electrical grid neutral for up to 8 months a year. By cutting your utility bill costs while reducing your carbon footprint.

“The beauty of battery storage is that power generated during the day can be stored and used when it is needed, even after the sun goes down.”
