Panasonic residential storage battery system

Panasonic’s residential storage battery system reduces reliance on the grid during peak periods. For consumers, it means access to clean solar energy during the evening peak and the opportunity to reduce the energy bill. For energy distributors and retailers it reduces the grid infrastructure expense, better managing the time of use during peak periods and offering longer term contracts and savings to the consumer.

The system has 5.3 kWh usable capacity and 2 kW output, using lithium-ion battery technology to maximise the benefit of residential photovoltaic (PV) energy. It has a slim, stand-alone design and is capable of retrofit installation to existing residential solar PV systems. For outdoor installation, it is robust, dustproof and waterproof and IP54 rated.

Demand response software allows programmed charge/discharge, remote control charge/discharge and controls and monitors usage through the LJ-NA02 Network Adapter. It aids utilities’ fleet management to meet peak shaving opportunity and improve stability across the distributed energy network. One utility server can control up to 20,000 storage systems and monitor their time-of-use tariffs and control of demand load.
