Storage solutions for PV systems: efficiency, independence and flexibility

Choosing the right storage system is crucial to the success of a photovoltaic system. Storage systems make it possible to store surplus solar energy and use it again when needed - ideal for both private and commercial applications. Modern technologies, long guarantees and high efficiency make battery storage systems an indispensable component for sustainable energy use.

The right choice of battery storage - what installers should look out for

1. capacity and performance:
The storage capacity should be tailored to the individual energy consumption and the requirements of the PV system. Precise dimensioning prevents both oversizing and undersizing and optimizes the efficiency of the system.

2. cycle stability and service life:
 The service life of a battery storage system depends on the number of charging and discharging cycles. Models with high cycle stability, such as the lithium-ion batteries from Pylontech, are characterized by a long service life.

3. compatibility and integration:
A storage system should be easy to integrate into existing PV systems and smart home solutions. Manufacturers such as SolarEdge offer storage systems that are specially adapted to their inverters and monitoring systems.

4. Safety and certifications:
Certifications such as VDE-AR-E 2510-50 ensure high safety standards. Manufacturers such as Sungrow Power rely on modern safety features that ensure protection against overloading and overheating.

The most important storage components

The BMS monitors the charging and discharging process of the battery and protects against overcharging, deep discharging and overheating. This function is crucial for the safety and longevity of the storage system.

A battery module consists of several battery cells and is the central component of a storage system. Depending on the required capacity, several modules can be combined with each other.

A battery system consists of several battery modules and an integrated BMS. It offers a complete solution for storing solar power and can be expanded on a modular basis as required.
A battery bundle includes all the necessary components for the installation of a storage system, including battery modules, BMS, inverter and accessories. These complete solutions make planning and installation easier for installers.

Why invest in storage solutions?

Maximize self-consumption:
storage solutions make it possible to store excess energy and use it when needed, maximizing self-consumption.

Reducing grid dependency:
Storing solar power reduces dependency on external electricity providers and their price increases.

Cost savings:
Self-generated electricity is generally cheaper than buying electricity from the grid. In the long term, the use of a storage system saves considerable energy costs.

Sustainability:
Storage systems promote the increased use of renewable energies and help to reduce CO₂ emissions.

What is the optimum storage capacity?

The ideal storage capacity depends on the electricity consumption and the output of the photovoltaic system. For a typical 4-person household, 5 to 10 kWh is usually sufficient. Commercial applications usually require larger systems with at least 15 kWh. Scalable solutions such as the BYD Battery-Box Premium or Huawei Luna2000 enable flexible adaptation to future requirements.

How long does a battery storage system last?

With good quality and appropriate use, the service life of a battery storage system is usually 10 to 15 years. High-quality manufacturers such as SMA and SolarEdge offer a warranty of up to 10 years. Modern systems also guarantee more than 5,000 charging cycles with minimal loss of capacity.

Current trends in battery storage systems 2024
