What advantages does a Sunlit Storage offer?

The Sunlit Storage offers numerous advantages for households looking to reduce their electricity costs and increase their energy independence. Key benefits include an increase in self-consumption of solar power to up to 80%, leading to significant savings. Modularly expandable up to a capacity of 8.6 kWh, it allows flexible adaptation to the energy needs of households of any size. App control ensures easy monitoring and efficient management of electricity consumption.

Another outstanding feature is the longevity of the LFP battery, which offers a lifespan of up to 10 years or more. DRBO Greenenergy supplies these storage solutions in combination with Deye inverters, which ensure optimal utilization of solar power.

How does a Sunlit Balcony Power Plant Storage work?

The Sunlit Balcony Power Plant Storage works by storing surplus solar power in a lithium iron phosphate battery. This battery is charged via an integrated PV hub, while the generated energy is stored during the day. When needed, the stored electricity is used to cover consumption. The system prioritizes the stored electricity, thus minimizing reliance on the grid.

An LCD display and app control allow users to monitor the charging and discharging status in real time. The system also ensures zero feed-in, so no excess energy is fed back into the grid.

What capacities are available for Sunlit Storage?

The Sunlit Storage starts with a base capacity of 2.15 kWh (BK215), which can be modularly expanded. Each module has a capacity of 2.15 kWh, so the total capacity can be increased to up to 8.6 kWh. This flexibility allows the storage unit to be adapted to the individual electricity consumption of a household – ideal for singles, small households, or larger families.

Capacity planning is based on the household's daily electricity consumption. A typical household with a consumption of 10 kWh per day can combine multiple modules to achieve optimal storage and utilization of solar power.

Is a Sunlit Storage weather-resistant?

Yes, the Sunlit Storage is weather-resistant thanks to its IP65 protection class and can be used both indoors and outdoors. The weather-resistant design protects the device from dust, rain, and splashing water. Furthermore, the system is suitable for temperatures from -20 °C to +55 °C, making it a robust solution for various weather conditions.

This resilience makes the Sunlit storage ideal for use on balconies, terraces, or in garages, regardless of the weather.

Can Sunlit Storage be expanded?

Yes, the Sunlit Storage can be easily expanded by adding more modules. Each additional module has a capacity of 2.15 kWh, allowing the storage unit to be flexibly adapted to the household's needs. The expansion process uses a plug-and-play system, enabling simple installation without structural modifications.

The expansion is compatible with existing PV systems and can be easily retrofitted. This ensures that the storage can grow with the increasing energy needs of the household.

How do you install a Sunlit Storage?

Installing a Sunlit Storage is quick and easy. Thanks to the plug-and-play system, no electrician is required. The modules are simply stacked on top of each other and connected with the appropriate cables. After that, the system is set up via an app, which also activates the zero feed-in.

Installation typically takes only about 15 minutes, making the storage unit a practical solution for renters and homeowners who want to quickly and easily benefit from energy independence.

What are the costs for Sunlit Storage?

The costs for a Sunlit Storage vary depending on capacity and model. The basic storage unit (BK215) costs approximately €1,000 to €1,500, while expansion modules range between €800 and €1,200. With a payback period of 2 to 4 years due to electricity cost savings, these storage units offer a cost-effective solution for utilizing solar energy.

Funding programs and special offers from DRBO Greenenergy can further reduce the initial price. Investing in a Sunlit Storage quickly pays off, as several hundred euros in electricity costs can be saved annually.
