In recent years, Spain's residential photovoltaic installations have risen steadily. With favourable solar conditions across multiple regions, residents' willingness to generate and consume solar energy has markedly increased. However, the inherent variability of photovoltaic power generation—particularly during nighttime and overcast periods—means households still rely on grid electricity, preventing effective reductions in overall energy costs.
Against this backdrop, scalable, highly secure, and intelligently managed energy storage battery systems have become the mainstream choice in the Spanish market.
This project is located in a residential area in southern Spain, where the client had previously installed rooftop PV. To enhance the household's energy self-sufficiency and reduce electricity bills, two 16kWh mobile energy storage batteries were ultimately deployed in parallel, expanding the total capacity to 32kWh to meet the household's daily electricity needs.
System Specifications:
Battery Capacity: 32kWh (2×16kWh in parallel)
Cell Type: LiFePO₄ high-safety lithium iron phosphate cells
Design: Wheeled mobile structure for easy relocation and installation
Monitoring: Real-time monitoring via a dedicated application
1. Highly Flexible Installation Approach
The wheeled storage design offers greater adaptability than traditional wall-mounted or floor-standing cabinets. Customers can adjust the unit's position according to their home's wiring layout, reducing installation time and costs.
2. Dual-Unit Parallel Operation for Scalable Expansion
Two units deliver stable output through parallel operation, providing sustainable capacity upgrades for household energy storage. Should higher load demands arise in the future, additional units may be integrated—maximum support for 256kWh battery parallel configuration.
3. Comprehensive Coverage of Daily Household Power Needs
The 32kWh total capacity supports primary loads including lighting, appliances, refrigerators, and air conditioning. Daytime photovoltaic charging supplements night-time battery supply, achieving a near-complete energy cycle of ‘daytime generation, night-time consumption’.
4. Significantly Reduces Electricity Costs
Following system commissioning, approximately 70% of the customer's daily energy consumption is sourced from the storage system. This substantially lowers the cost of purchasing grid electricity, resulting in markedly reduced electricity bills.
5. Stable Power Supply During Outages
This energy storage system features UPS-grade switching capability, maintaining continuous operation of critical appliances during unexpected power cuts and enhancing household energy reliability.
Abundant solar resources make passive solar energy waste regrettable
Grid energy costs rank mid-to-high in Europe
Growing household demand for energy independence
Maximises return on investment when paired with PV systems
Persistent risk of domestic power outages in certain regions, where storage provides emergency backup
