Recently one of our partners installed a single-phase low-voltage hybrid system for a family in Northern England. The household, which operates a small home studio with high energy demands, installed 30 solar panels (450W each) to maximise solar energy use during the day.
The homeowners, who enrolled in the Octopus dynamic energy tariff, needed a storage solution to charge batteries during low-cost periods and utilise the stored energy when electricity prices peak. They also required a system capable of providing at least two days of backup power to meet their household energy needs.
Leveraging OpenSolar for solar generation estimates, our team quickly identified the ideal solution for this household. The system incorporates two single-phase inverters paired with eight 9.4kWh HANCHU low-voltage batteries, delivering ample storage capacity within a compact installation space.
HANCHU’s 9.4kWh low-voltage batteries feature advanced blade cell technology from industry-leading suppliers. This ensures superior safety, stability, and efficiency, offering more usable energy compared to competing products. With a sleek and compact design, the batteries are easy to install and perfectly aligned with the household’s energy requirements.
The system is strategically designed to maximise available space and allow the family to benefit from dynamic tariffs – charging during off-peak hours and discharging when prices are high. Additionally, it offers peace of mind by ensuring reliable backup power during outages, delivering both energy security and significant financial benefits.
