Client’s Challenges
The previous solar and battery system installed at a home in Bedfordview experienced several challenges that affected its performance and reliability. The system had insufficient battery capacity and management problems that caused inefficiencies, frequent disruptions, and increased energy costs.
The situation was further worsened by load shedding events, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive solution to address these critical issues. However, our innovative solutions have successfully transformed the system into a beacon of sustainability. Discover how Dontuwire meticulously transformed the client’s solar and battery infrastructure to overcome limitations and achieve unparalleled efficiency and reliability.
Client's Goals
At the start of the project, Dontuwire collaborated closely with the client to overcome the limitations of the current infrastructure by developing practical solutions in line with the client’s main objectives:
- Enhancing Solar Efficiency: By amplifying the sun’s power more effectively, the goal was to maximise energy output and minimise waste, leading to optimal performance and cost savings.
- Augmenting Battery Storage: Increasing battery capacity to provide extended backup power during load shedding events, ensuring uninterrupted operation and peace of mind.
- Implementing Advanced Battery Management: By implementing battery management systems, the aim was to ensure smooth operation, bolstered protection, and extended reliability and longevity of the system.
Our Solutions
We added fourteen Longi 555W solar panels to the existing solar array to improve the home’s energy harvesting capacity. In addition, we integrated seven more Pylontech Powercube H2 HV 3.5kW Lithium batteries to address battery capacity limitations. This extended the backup power duration and fortified the overall system reliability.
To ensure optimal battery performance and longevity, we integrated a Master Battery Management System (BMS) alongside an additional standard BMS unit. Our team also implemented refined parameter settings to maximise energy storage and utilisation efficiency. These enhancements helped to enhance the system’s overall performance and effectiveness.
Our renewable energy solution was designed to address our client’s specific challenges and exceed their expectations. We strategically upgraded and meticulously enhanced the system to achieve a comprehensive outcome that addressed the client’s goals and objectives for his home.
