Off grid installation with battery storage | Project features
- Address: 8730 Beernem
- Activity: research & educatie
Project requirements
- 100% disconnection to public power grid
- Solar panels as energy generator
- Battery system
- Installation of an emergency generator for times with high consumption and/or little sunshine
- Minimal use of the emergency generator
- Show a significant advantage as opposed to connection to the public power grid
YouPower off-grid system
Energievoorziening voor
- Private home
- Supply to greenhouses and ponds
- Scientific research
Great advantage as opposed to the current connection
- The customer now receives a monthly invoice for electricity of over 800 EUR
- No price decrease in the near futureg
- Eco-friendly choice
- The required number of solar panels to somewhat meet the energy demand, would imply the necessity of a grid study by Fluvius, the installation of a disconnection panel, and maybe even a medium voltage cabin. These are unnecessary costs that could amount to 30,000 EUR. By choosing an off the grid system, the expense is not needed.
Expandable
- A full power of 17 kWp of solar panels meets the energy demand
- Close monitoring of the energy consumption
- The entire system can be expanded at any given time
Battery system
- In the preliminary study, YouPower determines the required capacity for the battery storage
- The battery capacity is also expandable in a later phase
- No oversizing. During the process we learn all about the system dimensions, without unnecessary costs
Return on Investment
- The current energy cost through the public power grid is approximately 10,000 EUR per year
- High consumption during the day and excess at night: perfect to install an off the grid system
