Australia has a high popularity among residential solar PV systems, yet the adoption of residential energy storage remains below 10%. This results in significant surplus electricity being fed back into the grid, contributing to frequent power fluctuations. Federal and state governments have introduced subsidy programs to support residential energy storage, such as grants of up to AUD 3,000 per household, supplemented by state-level incentives, making the economics of installing energy storage increasingly attractive.
Time-of-use electricity tariffs further enhance the value of home energy storage: charging during the day with solar power and discharging during peak evening hours can significantly reduce electricity bills. Additionally, households can participate in Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) to earn extra revenue.
Household Profile: A high-consumption household in Australia, equipped with a solar PV system.
Solution: Implementation of GSL Energy high-performance residential energy storage system, comprising six 51.2V 280Ah wall-mounted batteries (14.34 kWh each) in parallel, totaling 86 kWh. The system works in tandem with the PV installation to increase self-consumption and supports grid interaction.
Large Capacity for All-Day Power Supply: With a total capacity of 86 kWh, the system easily meets the daily electricity demands of the household.
Safety and Reliability: CEC-certified, complying with Australian market standards.
Intelligent Management: Equipped with a BMS for real-time monitoring and extended battery life. Users can access battery and consumption data via a dedicated app.
Durability: IP65, suitable for outdoor or semi-outdoor installation, with good low-temperature tolerance.
Flexibility and Compatibility: Compatible with mainstream inverters and energy management devices, allowing for future energy expansion.
The system operates in coordination with the PV installation, storing solar energy during the day for use in the evening, significantly reducing electricity costs. This 86 kWh GSL Energy residential energy storage installation demonstrates that large-capacity energy storage is not only feasible but also delivers tangible economic benefits for Australian households.
GSL Energy Advantages: Modular design, safety certifications, and intelligent management ensure easy installation, reliable operation, and long-term suitability for Australian households. The system also supports future energy expansion and grid interaction capabilities.
