Technical FAQs 4

What is a small capacity battery system?

Small capacity refers to residential systems designed with a storage capacity, ranging from 5 to 10 kWh. These systems are suitable for homes with modest energy needs or for providing backup power only to essential loads during short outages. They are more affordable and space-efficient compared to larger battery systems. Pros

What is a large-capacity battery storage system?

Large-capacity home battery storage often exceeds 20 kWh, allowing homeowners to store significant amounts of electricity for later use. This is ideal for homes with high energy consumption, providing extended backup power during outages and maximizing the utilization of solar energy. Pros

What is the difference between a small capacity and a large battery?

Underutilization Risk: If a household’s energy consumption is low, a large battery system might not be fully utilized, leading to inefficiency, and wasted resources. Small capacity refers to residential systems designed with a storage capacity, ranging from 5 to 10 kWh.

Should you choose a big or small battery storage system?

Choosing between big and small home battery storage systems depends on your household’s energy needs, budget, and long-term goals. Large battery systems offer greater capacity, extended backup power, and better solar utilization, making them ideal for homes with high energy demands and frequent power outages.
