Case study of home energy storage upgrade in Germany
Project Background
The Schmidt family, located in the suburbs of Munich, Germany, decided to install a home energy storage system to cope with rising electricity prices (reaching €0.48/kWh during peak hours) and increasingly frequent power outages caused by extreme weather. The family already had a rooftop solar system, but only 35% of their electricity was used for their own needs, with a significant amount of surplus electricity fed back to the grid at low prices, indicating a need to improve energy efficiency.
Project Introduction
This project utilizes the Dawnice 15kWh residential energy storage system, equipped with high-performance lithium iron phosphate batteries with a cycle life exceeding 8000 cycles. The system uses an intelligent energy management system to intelligently allocate solar power generation, grid power supply, and household electricity consumption. The entire system is wall-mounted, installed on the garage wall, seamlessly integrating into the home environment.
Project Background
The Huber family in Berlin, Germany, faced with rising electricity prices and frequent power outages during the winter, decided to upgrade their existing photovoltaic (PV) system. Despite installing solar panels, the lack of energy storage meant that over 60% of their electricity had to be sold back to the grid at a low price, severely impacting their return on investment.
Project Introduction
This project utilizes Dawnice's latest energy storage system, equipped with a dedicated energy management system. The system is specially configured with:
Modular lithium iron phosphate battery packs, supporting flexible capacity expansion later.
Intelligent temperature control system to ensure stable operation of equipment under extreme weather conditions.
Intelligent application terminals for real-time monitoring of energy production and consumption.
System operating features:
Multiple revenue modes: Selectively sell electricity to the grid during peak electricity price periods to obtain additional revenue.
Worry-free backup mode: Instantaneous switching during grid outages, providing power to critical equipment for up to 72 hours.
User Feedback
"The intelligence of this system is beyond imagination. Last week, while we were on vacation, the system automatically adjusted to the optimal operating mode, not only meeting the electricity needs of our neighbors who were helping to take care of their house, but also generating additional income by selling electricity to the grid. Now, our energy self-sufficiency rate has reached 92%."
Project Results
Energy self-sufficiency rate increased to 92%
Monthly electricity expenses reduced by 70%
Annual carbon emissions reduced by 3.2 tons
