UK homeowners offered a complete cost-efficient solar energy solution

energy and battery-management system to homeowners in the UK. The compact,

all-in-one solution offers solar modules from Sharp and an all-in-one

battery storage from Samsung SDI.

Peter Thiele, president of Sharp Energy Solutions Europe, said: “This

partnership is a strategic decision to help Sharp meet its objective of

becoming a complete energy solutions provider. Our solar modules and the

all-in-one battery from Samsung SDI fit perfectly together to provide a high

quality solution for homeowners, minimising their energy costs and

maximising their independence from suppliers."

By using the solution, which is quick and simple to install, homeowners can

cut their household bills and gain greater independence from rising energy

costs. Easy to use, a PC or smartphone interface lets users see in real time

how much energy has been generated and how much is currently stored, and

shows whether any system maintenance is required.

The stand-alone all-in-one solution contains all devices required to operate

a solar system: battery, photovoltaic inverter and battery inverter /

charger, as well as an energy and battery management system. The VDE tested

Lithium Ion battery system (3.6kWh) has a 10 year performance warranty.

The solution, including solar modules and battery, will be eligible for

finance through the accredited Sharp installer network. Sharp is a pioneer

in energy efficiency and energy management, with over 50 years’ experience

in the development of high-performance, reliable PV technologies. The

partnership with Samsung SDI is part of the company’s growing energy

solutions business in the UK, and will ensure homeowners benefit from

maximum efficiency on PV installations and substantial savings on energy

bills.

Samsung SDI batteries are the best in class. Samsung SDI’s integrated

battery charger stores the electricity generated during daylight hours for

consumption as and when required. The PV inverter is capable of a maximum

power output of 6.6kWp, which equals up to 26 units of Sharp’s 250W modules.

Two independent Maximum Power Point (MPP) trackers maximize the flexibility

for installations on south facing and east-west facing roofs, ideal for

family homes. The system is compliant to both G83/2 and G59/3, says the

company.
