- Description
- A modular, stackable residential energy storage system One inverter module Multiple 5 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery modules that are stacked vertically on site (1 to 6 modules, giving 5–30 kWh nominal capacity) A separate Connection Hub (AC combiner and protection unit) The complete system is supplied as separate modules and assembled on site by stacking the battery modules on a wheeled base and placing the inverter module on top How it works: The primary function is off peak - greener energy storage. The system charges from the UK mains electricity at cheap off-peak or time-of-use night rates, stores the energy in the LiFePO4 battery modules, and discharges it during higher daytime rates to power the household. It also provides backup power during grid outages. The system has no grid-export capability — it cannot send electricity back to the public distribution network. It is designed exclusively for residential use as an energy-saving material. It can accept optional solar PV input but functions primarily as a grid-charged storage and backup device. Installation (including stacking) is carried out by a qualified independent electrician. The system is supplied in multiple separate packages suitable for international container shipping: one package for the inverter module (including installation kit and accessories), individual packages for each battery module, and one package for the Connection Hub. All components are packed with protective foam and crating for safe transport.
