- Example Scenario: A larger home or a highly energy-efficient home with higher usage, around 9 kWh per day.
- Critical Loads: Suitable for backing up a significant portion of home functions including HVAC systems.
- Backup Duration: Can provide backup power for critical loads for a full 24-hour period or longer.
- Appliance example: Comprehensive daily use including larger appliances and systems.
12.5 kWh Moduly Nødz
- Daily Consumption: Suitable for homes with high daily energy consumption.
- Example Scenario: A large home or one with high energy needs, using around 11.25 kWh per day.
- Critical Loads: Ideal for homes needing comprehensive backup power across all major appliances and systems.
- Backup Duration: Can provide backup power for critical loads for more than 24 hours, ensuring extended outage protection.
- Appliance example: Large homes with extensive appliance use, HVAC, and additional systems.
Choosing the Right Module
-
Assess Your Daily Energy Consumption: Determine your average daily energy usage by reviewing your utility bills. This will guide you towards the right capacity.
-
Evaluate Critical Load Needs: Identify what critical appliances and systems you need to keep running during a power outage. Calculate their combined energy requirements.
-
Consider Battery Characteristics: Remember that the effective capacity of the battery will be slightly less than its nominal capacity due to efficiency losses (typically around 90%).
- Future-Proof Your System: If you anticipate increased energy consumption in the future, consider opting for a slightly larger module to accommodate growth and ensure a longer battery lifespan.
By assessing your energy needs and considering your future plans, you can select the Moduly battery module that best fits your requirements, ensuring efficient and reliable energy storage for your home.
Compared to other energy storage systems in the market, Moduly technology allows users to easily adjust and grow the capacity of their system.
Implementing effective energy management strategies, such as peak shaving, solar optimization and valley filling, contributes to optimize system performance.
The Moduly energy management system supports different modes to manage energy supply and battery storage, as the time-of-use and backup mode.
The optimized energy management of Moduly will set different periods to charge and discharge the battery according to mode and need, increasing energy efficiency and making the most use of solar energy.
