A storage system is a set of equipment that allows you to store energy, generated from renewable sources, in a battery bank and then use it at any time. There are several storage systems with various working way and different products, listed below are some characteristics of those provided by Etneo Italy:

  • Etneo storage for retrofit: the kit consists of home automation control panel with off-grid inverters, with various power sizes, control unit for automatic activation of the loads, remote monitoring system connected to the Internet, sets with 24 or 48V battery pack. This system is installed where a photovoltaic system already exists and it’s able to increase the share of energy self-consumed, reducing the amount fed into the grid, without changing the flow of the existing plant and hence no need for Enel or GSE requests, it can always be completed with the micro wind turbine option to help charging the batteries.
  • Etneo storage for new plants with grid connection: the kit includes home automation control panel with grid inverters, with various power sizes, control unit for automatic activation of the loads, charge controllers for PV modules, remote monitoring system connected to the Internet, sets with 24 or 48V battery pack. This system is installed with new pv plants without any request for connection to the grid, it can always be completed with the micro wind turbine option to help charging the batteries.
  • Etneo storage for new installations without grid conneciton: the kit consists of grid inverters, with various power sizes, with MPPT charge controllers for PV modules, control panel of the system and control unit that monitors the network via LAN or via Internet. This system is installed in the absence of electricity network and become the main source of energy of the site, you can always add Micro wind generators as an option.

The advantages of storage systems are derived from the reduced use of energy drawn from the power grid, the cost saved on the bill is then proportional to the quality and size of the storage system installed. Today you can take advantage of the tax deduction for photovoltaic systems or for improving electrical system.
