Huawei 10kW Battery Storage Installation

Case Study: Huawei Luna Battery and 6kW Solar PV System Installation in Bedfordshire

At Climate Force Ltd, we recently completed an exciting project for a homeowner in Bedfordshire. The installation included a 10kW Huawei Luna battery, a 6kW hybrid inverter, and a solar PV array designed to maximise renewable energy generation and enhance energy independence.

The Project

The property owners were keen to reduce their reliance on the grid, cut energy bills, and take advantage of low-cost electricity tariffs. We designed and installed a bespoke solar PV system paired with Huawei’s advanced hybrid inverter and Luna battery to meet their needs. This solution enables the household to store excess solar energy during the day and draw on it during the evening or night. Additionally, the battery’s functionality to charge during off-peak hours ensures even greater savings.

Key Features of the Huawei Solution

1. Huawei Hybrid 6kW Inverter:
   • High Efficiency: The inverter ensures maximum energy conversion from the solar PV system, enabling optimal power usage.
   • Enhanced Safety features: AI learning arc-fault detection and AC and DC surge protection provide peace of mind.
   • Smart Energy Management: With AI-driven features, the system intelligently prioritises energy use, directing power to the battery, home appliances, or the grid as needed.
   • Scalability: The hybrid inverter supports future upgrades, including the addition of more battery capacity or extra PV panels.
2. Huawei Luna 10kW Battery:
   • Modular Design: The Luna battery is modular, meaning capacity can be expanded if energy storage needs grow in the future.
   • Fast Charging and Discharging: The battery’s advanced technology allows it to quickly store excess energy or release it when required.
   • Off-Peak Charging: With smart programming, the battery can charge using low-cost electricity during off-peak hours, significantly reducing energy costs.

The Savings

Thanks to the integration of the 10kW battery, the homeowners can now store excess solar generation that would otherwise be exported to the grid. By using this stored energy during peak times, they reduce their reliance on higher-cost grid electricity. Additionally, the ability to charge the battery at night using cheap off-peak tariffs has further enhanced savings.

Before the installation, the property’s annual energy costs were approximately £2,500. Following the switch to solar PV and the smart use of battery storage, the projected annual savings are around £1,200, with the potential for even greater reductions as energy prices rise.

Environmental Impact

This installation is also making a significant contribution to reducing the household’s carbon footprint. By generating and using renewable energy, the system offsets approximately 3.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.

Conclusion

This Bedfordshire case study highlights the transformative benefits of combining solar PV with a Huawei hybrid inverter and Luna battery. The solution not only delivers substantial financial savings but also aligns with the homeowner’s sustainability goals. If you’re considering a similar setup, Climate Force Ltd is here to help you make the switch to cleaner, smarter energy solutions.
