Application of Batteries

Off-grid electricity systems are relevant wherever conventional electricity is not available (there are no centralized distribution networks) or it serves as an alternative source of electricity. For example, when power lines are repaired or storms and other unforeseen natural disasters occur.

The sun is not always shining when the electricity consumption is the highest. Therefore, one of the most pressing issues faced by many owners of solar (photovoltaic) panel systems is the storage of the generated electricity.

If it is an office building or an institution where people work every day, then most likely the sun will shine on the photovoltaic panels at the right time.

ESS - the Victron Energy Energy Storage System is a special type of energy system that integrates a grid connection with a Victron inverter/charger, a GX device (controller) and a battery system. It allows you to store solar energy in a battery during the day to be used later when the sun is no longer shining.

It is no secret that sometimes the price fluctuation in the electricity exchange tends to be very large, so it is worth thinking about selling energy in the market when the price is the highest, and purchasing and storing it when the price is the lowest. When electricity is needed the most, it is usually the most expensive in the network. On the other hand, when prices fall, consumption is also not so great. In this way, we lose money every hour and every day by overpaying for electricity due to price changes in the electricity exchange.
