Sustainable energy with expansion options
The project aims to significantly improve energy efficiency and drastically reduce dependence on the power grid. The centerpiece is a 10 ft container, equipped with two air conditioning units and an impressive storage capacity of 261 kWh, which can be gradually expanded to a maximum of three systems, each with 261 kWh.
A powerful 166.83 kWp photovoltaic system (PV) supplies power to the common electricity area, the self-storage units in the existing building, and the eight e-car charging stations in the outdoor parking area during good weather conditions. At the same time, it charges the energy storage system, which steps in to reliably meet energy needs when PV performance is insufficient (e.g., during bad weather or shorter daylight hours in winter) – a perfect solution to minimize grid load.
The e-car charging infrastructure is also available to neighboring businesses, contributing to the promotion of sustainable mobility in the region.
In addition to maximizing the self-consumption of PV-generated electricity, the innovative energy storage system focuses on effectively reducing peak loads. Twenty percent of the storage capacity is reserved for peak load capping to avoid exceeding the power agreed upon with the grid operator and to prevent additional costs.
