Battery Storage in Plymouth

What is Battery storage

myenergi-libbi-battery-storageIn a nutshell, Battery storage allows you to store electricity for use at a later time. Many homes have solar PV panels installed which generate electricity during daylight. By adding a battery to the system this energy can be used later when the sun is no longer shining, rather than buying energy from the grid. If you’re on a time-of-use tariff such as Economy 7, Octopus Energy Agile or Go tariff, you could save even more on your bills by charging on cheap overnight electricity. And your existing feed-in-tariff payments will stay unaffected. With the Libbi battery storage you have option of UPS back up when the National Grid is down. You do not need Solar PV to benefit from Battery Storage, this can be added later if required or take the cheap tariffs at night from as low as £0-01p per kWh

Battery storage is the future for storing energy captured from the sun or cheap tariffs at night. Lets have a look at why this is the case and the products that we recommend.

Why solar Battery Storage

Take a look at the graph, this explains why you would consider installing battery storage

solar consumption chart

Maximise your Solar Power Savings: As can be seen from the graph above most of the power is usually consumed at breakfast before the sun really gets up and in the evening when the sun has set, so a standard solar power system cannot really cover this consumption. Most of the solar power produced during the day is actually in the green section and is surplus to the homes requirements so it is sent back to the grid at a very low rate. To best maximise the solar power it really needs to be stored so it can be consumed when it is really required, not necessarily when it is generated.

Backup Power: With a normal grid connected solar power system if there is a black out or brown out and power is not available from the street the solar power system will shut down as well – the solar inverter needs to be connected to the grid to function. With AlphaESS storage you have backup UPS power from the battery and solar panels when the grid is down which provides you with additional security and energy independence. No more spoilt food because of a fridge or freezer being without power because of a blackout!

Myenergi Libbi Battery Storage

myenergi-libbi-battery-storageMyenegi have created libbi to store your electricity, to use it when you need it most. It allows you to capture as much surplus solar electricity as possible, whilst integrating with your existing myenergi devices. Due to be released January 2023

libbi is modular by design. Each module can store up to 5kWh of electricity, so combining 4 of them together would provide up to 20kWh of storage.

libbi isn’t just a battery system, it’s eco smart. This means it makes intelligent decisions about when it provides and stores electricity based on how much energy you use, how much you generate with your solar and the electricity tariff you use.

Advanced Controlmyenergi-approved-installer

You have ultimate control of what you want libbi to do and when you want to do it! Set priorities in the myenergi app, to control the libbi to charge and drain to suit your needs.

Solar Charging

Don’t give your free and green excess solar generation back to the electricity grid! Store your electricity through the day, and use it during the evening, especially during expensive peak periods.

Grid Charging

Don’t have solar? Charge libbi using cheaper overnight electricity tariffs, and use this stored electricity during expensive periods, saving you money! You can always add solar later.

Blackout backup

Optional blackout backup, to maintain power to a dedicated circuit in the event of a power cut.

You receive an update from Octopus Energy each day with times when the cheapest tariffs are, you then set your Battery / Electric Vehicle to charge at these tariffs. This is also a great way to save during winter months when there is little sun. You do not need Solar PV to save, this can be added later.
