As residential electricity demand increases due to EV chargers, heat pumps, air conditioning, and smart appliances, traditional 10–15kWh batteries are no longer sufficient for whole-home energy needs. In 2026, a 25kWh home battery system has become the practical benchmark for achieving overnight energy autonomy, peak-shaving, and reliable backup power.
A 25kWh Battery system is not simply a larger battery. It represents the point where a home transitions from solar-assisted electricity usage to a battery-driven home energy model.
GSL Energy provides multiple flexible configurations to build a stable ~25kWh residential storage system, adapting to different installation environments, inverter types, and project requirements.
Based on typical household usage patterns in Europe, North America, and Australia, daily electricity consumption for a medium-to-large home ranges between 18 25kWh.

Total: ~18–22 kWh per day
This means a 25kWh battery can support an entire day of core household electricity needs.
A GSL 25kWh system enables homeowners to:
Run the house all night without drawing from the grid
Maintain power for 15–30 hours during outages
Charge an EV at night while still powering the home
Store excess solar energy for peak-tariff periods
Achieve 70–90% self-consumption of solar power
