Case study of residential energy storage in Sydney's North Shore, Australia
Project Background
The Thompson family, residing in a modern smart home on Sydney's North Shore, decided to install an energy storage system to maximize the use of their existing rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system due to frequent electricity shortages during the Australian summer. The lack of storage meant the family still had to purchase electricity at high prices at night, severely impacting the PV system's return on investment.
Project Introduction
This project utilizes the Dawnice residential energy storage solution, equipped with an energy management system.
Next-generation lithium iron phosphate battery pack with a cycle life of 8000 cycles
Intelligent temperature control system, adapted to Australia's hot climate
Compact wall-mounted design, saving installation space
System operational advantages:
Solar energy optimization: Stores excess solar energy during the day for self-sufficiency at night
Emergency backup: Instantaneous switching during grid outages, ensuring basic power supply for 72 hours
Remote monitoring: Real-time system status monitoring via smart terminals
User Feedback
"This energy storage system has completely changed the way we use electricity. Now almost all the solar energy generated during the day is effectively utilized, and we no longer rely on expensive grid power at night. Last month's electricity bill showed a 75% reduction in our electricity expenses, which is a miracle in Sydney's summer. The system performed exceptionally well during the recent storms; when the entire community lost power, our lights remained on."
Project Results
Monthly electricity expenses reduced by 75%
Solar energy self-consumption rate increased to 95%
Annual carbon emissions reduced by 5 tons
Received a government renewable energy grant of AU$4500
