Andrew resides in a village in rural Wales, an area known for power outages lasting up to five days due to disruptive weather from Atlantic storms moving into the mainland.
Recognising that a more independent energy solution was necessary for consistent power, Andrew had previously installed a 3.8kW solar PV system and a small air source heat pump.
Their next step was to install a battery storage system to lessen grid dependency, take advantage of cheaper off-peak energy tariffs, and prepare for a larger heat pump installation in the future.
A system was designed for self-sufficiency, affordability, and regulatory compliance. It included two HANCHU 9.4kW LV batteries, a HANCHU 5.0kW Single Phase AC-coupled Inverter for power management, and a HANCHU Gateway for seamless backup during grid outages.
The installation was completed within two days, with minimal disruption. While the customer initially considered replacing their existing solar inverter with a hybrid model (requiring a full system overhaul), the HANCHU inverter is capable of working alongside his existing solar system. This minimises disruption and cost, allowing him to harvest his existing solar energy into the new HANCHU system.
Andrew and his family now enjoy lower energy costs, greater energy independence, and resilience against storm-related outages.
