Project Background

Located in Kensington, London, this Victorian townhouse was upgraded by the Williams family to address the rising UK energy price ceiling (currently at £0.34/kWh) and winter power shortages. While the building already had an 8kW photovoltaic system, its efficiency was unstable due to the UK's rainy climate, necessitating an energy storage system to optimize energy utilization.

User Feedback

"Our energy storage system played a vital role during this unusually cold winter. It accurately predicted consecutive rainy days and stored sufficient electricity in advance. By participating in the National Grid's demand response scheme, we supplied the grid during peak hours, earning an extra £200 per month. Most satisfyingly, the system's perfect synergy with electric vehicles reduced our travel costs by 70%."
