Home energy storage system

With the rise of global energy prices and the enhancement of environmental awareness, more and more families are beginning to pay attention to solar power generation systems, hoping to reduce electricity bills and achieve green and low-carbon life by installing photovoltaic equipment. However, many users face a core question when planning a home photovoltaic project: How big a solar system do I need for my home? As a manufacturer focusing on the research and development and application of energy storage technology, GreenMore provides complete home energy storage solutions for users around the world. This article will analyze in detail from a professional perspective how to scientifically configure a suitable solar energy system based on your household electricity needs. 1. Determine the average daily household electricity consumption To calculate the size of the solar system you need, you first need to know your home's actual daily electricity consumption. You can find this out by: Method 1: Check your electricity bill Most power companies will show your monthly electricity usage (kWh) on your bill. Divide it by 30 to estimate your average daily electricity usage. Example: If your monthly electricity usage is 300 kWh, your average daily electricity usage is about 10 kWh. Method 2: Manually calculate the power consumption of major electrical appliances List the power (W) and daily operating time (h) of commonly used electrical appliances in your home, and estimate using the formula Power × Time = Power Consumption (Wh). Home Appliances Power (W) Daily usage time (h) Daily power consumption (Wh) Refrigerator 150 24 3600 Air conditioner 1500 4 6000 Illumination 100 6 600 TV 150 3 450 Total     10.650Wh The capacity of the energy storage battery is configured according to the number of days set The energy storage system needs to be configured with redundant capacity according to local climate conditions. Taking Beijing as an example, the average number of consecutive rainy days per year is 2.3 days. It is recommended that the energy storage capacity be calculated according to the following formula: Energy storage capacity (kWh) = battery charge and discharge efficiency × discharge depth average daily power consumption (kWh) × self-sufficient days (days) For example, if a household with an average daily electricity consumption of 30 kWh requires self-sufficiency for three days and uses a lithium-ion battery with a charge and discharge efficiency of 90% and a discharge depth of 80%, it needs to be equipped with: 0.9×0.830×3=125kWh 2.Calculate the required solar system capacity Once the average daily electricity consumption is determined, the required solar system installed capacity (kW) can be further calculated. Calculation formula: Required system capacity (kW) = average daily electricity consumption (kWh) ÷ daily exposure hours (h) Note: Peak Sun Hours refers to the standard sunshine time when the sunlight intensity reaches 1000W/m², which varies slightly in different regions. For example, in southern China, the average sunshine hours are about 4 hours/day. Example: If the average daily electricity consumption is 10 kWh and the average sunshine time is 4 hours, then: Required system capacity = 10 kWh ÷ 4 h = 2.5 kW This means that to meet your electricity needs for a day, you will need to install at least a 2.5 kW solar system. 3. Consider the supporting needs of the energy storage system Although solar energy systems can generate electricity during the day, household electricity consumption is often concentrated in the evening and at night. Therefore, in order to achieve true "self-generation and self-use", we recommend using an energy storage battery system. Energy storage battery capacity selection recommendations: If the system capacity is 3 kW, a 5–10 kWh energy storage battery is recommended; If the system capacity is 5–6 kW, a 10–15 kWh energy storage battery is recommended; If you want to achieve 24/7 off-grid operation, you can choose a higher capacity energy storage system, such as the stacked energy storage battery or home energy storage system provided by GreenMore. GreenMore Recommended Products: Wall-mounted energy storage battery: suitable for urban residences with limited space; Stacked energy storage battery: modular design, supporting flexible expansion; Home energy storage system: integrates photovoltaics, inverters, and energy storage into one, and can be deployed with one click.   4.Other influencing factors Before actual installation, the following factors need to be considered: Influencing factorsI llustrate Roof area PV panels require about 6–8 square meters of space per kilowatt Roof orientation South is the best direction, east/west is also acceptable, north is not recommended Location The light resources in different regions vary greatly, which affects the power generation efficiency Grid connection policy Some countries support the access of surplus electricity to the grid, which can provide subsidies and increase the return on investment Energy storage system compatibility Ensure that the PV inverter matches the GreenMore energy storage system 5.

With the rapid development of renewable energy technology, solar inverters, as the "heart" of photovoltaic systems, have a direct impact on energy conversion efficiency and system stability through technological iteration. As a company deeply involved in the field of energy storage batteries, GreenMore combines years of industry experience to analyze the technical principles, core advantages and application scenarios of high-frequency solar inverters, helping users build efficient and intelligent photovoltaic storage integrated systems. 1. Working principle of high frequency solar inverter High-frequency solar inverters use high-frequency DC/AC conversion technology, and its core process can be divided into three steps: Low-voltage DC boost: Through PWM (pulse width modulation) technology, the low-voltage DC power (such as 12V/24V) output by the solar panel is converted into high-frequency low-voltage AC power (frequency is usually above 20kHz). High-frequency transformer boost: High-frequency AC power is boosted to high-voltage DC above 300V by a high-frequency transformer, achieving miniaturization (traditional industrial frequency inverters require bulky 50Hz transformers). Inverter output: Through the precise control of IGBT fully controlled devices, high voltage DC is inverted into 220V/50Hz pure sine wave AC to meet the load requirements of household appliances, industrial equipment, etc. Compared with traditional industrial frequency inverters, the high-frequency design reduces the equipment volume by more than 50% and the weight by 40% through high-frequency switching devices and micro-transformers, making it particularly suitable for distributed photovoltaic scenarios with limited space. Core Features: No power frequency transformer design Small size and light weight High conversion efficiency Fast response speed and good dynamic performance 2. Advantages of high-frequency solar inverters High conversion efficiency Due to the use of advanced power electronics technology and optimized topology, the overall conversion efficiency of high-frequency inverters can usually reach more than 95%, which is much higher than that of traditional low-frequency inverters. This means less energy loss and higher power generation utilization. Small size, easy to install Since high-frequency inverters do not rely on bulky transformers, they are smaller and lighter overall, making them particularly suitable for home environments or distributed energy projects with limited space. Lower costs High-frequency inverters have relatively low manufacturing costs and are easy to mass-produce, so they are more price competitive in the market. Fast response and strong adaptability High-frequency inverters have faster load response capabilities and can quickly adapt to changes in light intensity and load fluctuations, improving system stability and reliability.   3. Typical application scenarios of high-frequency solar inverters Home photovoltaic energy storage system For ordinary household users, high-frequency inverters are very suitable for small rooftop photovoltaic systems with GreenMore's wall-mounted energy storage batteries or stacked energy storage batteries to achieve closed-loop energy management of self-generation, self-energy storage and self-use of electricity. Commercial distributed photovoltaic projects In small and medium-sized commercial photovoltaic projects such as office buildings and factory roofs, high-frequency inverters have become one of the mainstream choices due to their high efficiency, low cost and easy maintenance. Off-grid/hybrid system applications In conjunction with GreenMore's home energy storage system or commercial battery energy storage cabinet, high-frequency inverters can be used to build efficient and reliable off-grid or grid-connected hybrid energy systems to meet a variety of power supply needs. 4. High frequency vs low frequency inverter: How to choose? Feature High Frequency Inverter Low Frequency Inverter Conversion efficiency High (more than 95%) Lower (about 85%) Volumetric Weight Small and light Big and heavy Impact resistance Low High Cost Low High Applicable scenarios Household, small and medium business Industrial, high power, harsh environment As you can see, high-frequency inverters are more suitable for users who focus on efficiency, cost, and space utilization, while low-frequency inverters are suitable for industrial-grade scenarios that need to withstand high impact loads or operate for long periods of time. 5. Purchase Guide: How to match GreenMore energy storage products? Power matching: Select the inverter power according to the GreenMore energy storage battery capacity. For example, a 5kWh wall-mounted battery is recommended to be paired with a 3kW-5kW high-frequency inverter to ensure maximum charging and discharging efficiency.

In a solar photovoltaic system, the inverter plays a vital role. It is responsible for converting the direct current (DC) generated by the photovoltaic panels into alternating current (AC) for home and commercial use. According to their operating frequencies, inverters are mainly divided into high-frequency inverters and low-frequency inverters. This article will introduce the characteristics, advantages and applicable scenarios of low-frequency solar inverters in detail from the professional perspective of GreenMore. 1. Working principle of low frequency solar inverter Low-frequency solar inverters use power frequency transformers to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), and their core operating frequency is 50Hz or 60Hz. Compared with high-frequency inverters, low-frequency solutions use the principle of electromagnetic induction to achieve voltage amplitude adjustment and electrical isolation through transformer windings. This design retains the stability advantage of traditional power frequency transformers, while reducing harmonic interference by optimizing the filter circuit, and the output waveform is closer to a standard sine wave. At the structural level, low-frequency inverters usually include DC input, full-bridge inverter circuit, power frequency transformer, filter circuit and control module. Among them, the power frequency transformer, as a key component, undertakes the dual functions of voltage conversion and safety isolation. Its core material is made of high-permeability silicon steel sheets to effectively reduce hysteresis loss and eddy current loss. Key features of low frequency inverter: High power output: Low frequency inverters are able to handle higher power loads due to the use of conventional oversized transformers. Better shock resistance: suitable for starting equipment that requires instantaneous high power, such as motors, refrigerators, etc. More stable performance: It has stronger adaptability to power grid fluctuations, especially excellent performance in harsh environments. 2. Advantages of Low Frequency Solar Inverter High reliability and long life Because their design is based on mature power frequency technology, low-frequency inverters have high mechanical strength and electrical stability. This enables them to maintain efficient operation for a long time and reduce maintenance requirements. Excellent overload capability and peak power support Low-frequency inverters can withstand overload conditions for a longer period of time and provide strong peak power support, which is especially important for starting high-power electrical appliances. Better thermal management Compared with high-frequency inverters, low-frequency inverters can maintain good working conditions under high temperature conditions because they use a larger heat dissipation area and a more effective cooling mechanism.   3. Application scenario analysis Home energy storage system For households with many home appliances, choosing a reliable low-frequency inverter can ensure stable power supply even during peak power demand periods. For example, the low-frequency inverter provided by GreenMore’s home energy storage system can not only effectively manage daily power consumption, but also provide continuous backup power in emergencies. Commercial and industrial use In commercial buildings or factory environments, power demand is often greater and more diverse. Low-frequency inverters are one of the ideal solutions due to their excellent overload capacity and stability. The low-frequency inverters equipped in GreenMore commercial battery energy storage cabinets can meet various complex power needs, helping users achieve energy cost savings and green transformation. Remote areas far from the city power grid In these places, the power supply is unstable or there is a lack of grid access. The powerful functions of low-frequency inverters make them the first choice for independent solar power generation systems to ensure the basic living electricity of local residents. 4. How to choose a suitable low-frequency solar inverter?

In the field of energy storage batteries, 51.2V 200Ah is a common specification in home energy storage systems. For users, understanding the actual energy storage capacity (i.e. kWh) of this parameter is the key to evaluating system performance. Based on GreenMore's professional experience and combined with the technical standards of the energy storage industry, this article will analyze the energy calculation logic of 51.2V 200Ah batteries and explore their value in different application scenarios. Energy calculation method for 51.2V 200Ah battery The energy storage capacity of a battery is usually measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), while ampere-hours (Ah) and volts (V) are the basic parameters for describing battery capacity. The conversion formula between the three is: Energy (kWh) = Voltage (V) × Capacity (Ah) / 1000   ​Take GreenMore's 51.2V 200Ah lithium iron phosphate battery as an example: Energy = 51.2V×200Ah/1000 =10.24kWh This result means that the battery can store 10.24 kWh of electricity when fully charged, which is enough to meet 10-15% of the average household's daily electricity demand (taking an average daily electricity consumption of 60-80 kWh as an example). Why is energy storage battery capacity measured in kWh?       1. Directly related to the electricity price system          The global electricity market generally uses "kWh" as the billing unit. When users use energy storage systems to achieve peak-valley electricity price arbitrage or off-grid power supply, kWh can directly quantify economic benefits. For example, GreenMore's home energy storage system can help users release 10.24kWh of energy charged during valley power hours during peak power hours, saving electricity expenses.       2. Compatible with photovoltaic and inverter systems The 51.2V voltage design is suitable for mainstream 48V photovoltaic systems (such as 5kW-10kW inverters), and the kWh indicator directly reflects the matching degree between the system and photovoltaic power generation. For example, GreenMore's stacked energy storage module supports multiple machines in parallel. Users can flexibly expand to 30.72kWh (3 sets of 51.2V 200Ah batteries in parallel) according to the rooftop photovoltaic installed capacity (such as 15kW), achieving 100% self-consumption of photovoltaic power generation.       3. Comply with international standards and certification requirements International certification systems such as UL and IEC require energy storage equipment to clearly mark the kWh energy value to ensure safety and compatibility. GreenMore's 51.2V 200Ah battery has passed UN38.3, CE and other certifications, and its 10.24kWh energy parameter has become the core basis for overseas customers' purchasing decisions. Impact of technical parameters on practical applications       1. Cycle life and energy decay GreenMore's lithium iron phosphate battery has a cycle life of 6,500 times (80% DOD), which means that the 10.24kWh initial energy can still maintain more than 80% after long-term use. For example, the Colombian household energy storage project uses 51.2V 200Ah batteries, which are charged and discharged once a day. After 10 years, it can still provide 8.19kWh of effective energy, significantly reducing LCOE (levelized cost of electricity).       2. Effect of temperature on energy efficiency In low temperature environments, the internal resistance of the battery increases, resulting in a decrease in available energy. GreenMore's temperature-controlled lithium battery technology can extend the operating temperature range to -20°C to 60°C, ensuring that a 51.2V 200Ah battery can still release more than 90% of its nominal energy (about 9.22kWh) at -10°C, which is suitable for household energy storage needs in high-cold areas.       3. Parallel scalability and system redundancy Through modular design, GreenMore's 51.2V 200Ah battery supports unlimited parallel connection. For example, the Ethiopian hotel energy storage project uses 20 groups of batteries in parallel with a total capacity of 204.8kWh, which can achieve millisecond-level load switching with the EMS system to ensure power supply reliability. How do users choose the appropriate energy storage capacity?       1. Home energy storage scenario Need Plan Average daily electricity consumption ≤30kWh A single 51.2V 200Ah (10.24kWh) battery can cover basic loads such as night lighting and home appliances. Off-grid power supply needs It is recommended to configure 2-3 sets of batteries (20.48-30.72kWh) with a 5kW inverter to achieve 72 hours of self-sufficiency.             2. Commercial energy storage scenarios Need Plan Industrial and commercial peak-to-valley arbitrage According to the local electricity price difference and load curve, choose a 100-500kWh system. For example, a Spanish food processing plant installed 5 sets of 50KW/100KWh batteries (512kWh), with an annual arbitrage income of more than 300,000 euros. Microgrid and backup power GreenMore's commercial energy storage cabinet (40-foot container solution with a capacity of 2MWh) can support emergency power supply for communities or industrial parks for more than 4 hours.   GreenMore's technical advantages and cases As a professional energy storage battery manufacturer, GreenMore's 51.2V 200Ah battery has the following differentiated competitiveness: High energy density: The volume energy density reaches 160Wh/kg, which is 300% higher than traditional lead-acid batteries and saves more than 50% of installation space. Intelligent BMS system: real-time monitoring of battery status, supporting SOC (remaining power) accuracy ≤2%, avoiding the risk of overcharging and over-discharging. Case: A German household photovoltaic energy storage project uses GreenMore's 51.2V 200Ah battery, paired with a 10kW photovoltaic system, to achieve an average daily power generation of 40kWh, of which 25kWh is stored in the battery. The proportion of self-use electricity has increased from 30% to 85%, reducing carbon emissions by 12 tons per year. In summary, the 10.24kWh energy of the 51.2V 200Ah battery is not only a reflection of technical parameters, but also GreenMore's commitment to the economy, reliability and sustainability of energy storage systems.
