Solar batteries serve as the solar energy storage that you can use during off-peak hours. In short, solar batteries can help power your home throughout the day and night.
However, did you know that an electric hot water system can be a great alternative? A recent “Active Hot Water Control” project in South Australia can reduce energy demand during peak times for hot water and utilise excess solar exports. As a result, this will help manage grid stability and lower costs. The project’s mission is to conduct trials on household hot water systems aggregated into a VPP, which is remotely integrated with home energy management systems.
The project will aggregate…
