Basic Self-Consumption/ESS Explained:
-
Backup Load/Priority Circuits get power in this order:
-
1st: from Solar Panels 2nd: from Batteries 3rd: Last resort is the Grid.
-
-
Once the battery is fully charged (typically around midday) and the Load has power from the Solar Panels, excess solar power will:
-
Supply Solar Power to the Non-Essential loads in your home main DB (e.g. geysers, pools, ponds, washing machines, etc).
-
Maximising your Electricity Savings in the entire Home.
-
-
Battery Power (Solar Charged) will then supply the night time load (extending your Elec Savings even further).
-
A reserve amount of battery can be programmed in to be used in case of Load-shedding.
Monitoring System:
The Victron Energy VRM Monitoring platform offers an Advanced Monitoring portal for your Smart Phone (Real-Time) and an online historical Monitoring/Analysis portal which is easy to use, navigate and understand.
