Solar PV with Battery Storage
Battery storage systems help make the most of solar:
- Battery systems provide the capability to store electrical energy from solar panels in a chemical form, for use at a later time
- The stored energy is used when the sunshine is not available, for example during the evening
- Battery storage systems may also be configured to provide backup electricity when the main electricity grid is unavailable
LG Chem RESU Batteries
Quality storage for residential properties:
- Residential Energy Storage Units (RESU) bring energy storage to Australia at a top class quality and an affordable price
- With a high power density of 144Wh/L, the LG battery is ultra-compact
- The LG RESU system allows for expansion with up two additional 3.2 kWh units, giving Perth households up to 12.8 kWh of battery storage
- With an attractive casing the LG RESU can be installed indoors and easily mounted on sturdy walls
Bosch Heat Pump Hot Water
Hot water the efficient way:
- Operates using the same reliable technology used in refrigerators to extract heat from the air and heat water
- A large 270L tank easily provides hot water for a 3-4 person household
- Consumes only 600W, easily provided by solar power during the daytime
- Smart control options allow the heat pump to make best use of solar power and ambient air temperatures
- Support for different smart operating modes, including holiday, quiet, and one shoot boost modes
- Combine with PV Storage for even greater savings
- Features a backup electrical element for security of hot water supply
