Energydock Level 5 Premium hybrid solar energy system with 15.4kWp solar array generating on average 69.3kWh daily installation completed in Fernwood, Knysna.

Written by Arno Menkveld on . Posted in Energydock, Residential solar solutions.

In this installation, an Energdock Level 5 Premium was used and configured as a hybrid solar energy system. It features a 5kVA Victron inverter with an ES10k battery for storage – all neatly encased in a slick aluminum casing.

By adding a DC Attachment box and some solar panels, the Level 5 Premium was able to convert from a UPS to a hybrid solar system. The system makes use of a 15.4kWp solar array that should average 69.3kWh per day of usable power throughout the year.

The system is expected to pay for itself in 6 years providing many years of energy security and cost savings.

Some key information:

  • System design and installation: Specialized Solar Systems
  • System type: Residential Hybrid Solar System
  • Application: Energy cost savings and energy security
  • Inverter (kVA): 5kVA Victron Multiplus II and Solis 3p10k-4G inverters
  • PV Panel array (kWp): 15.4kWp
  • Average solar yield expectancy (kW): 69.3kW per day
  • Storage (kW): 10.24kWh from a ES10K Storagedock
  • MPPT: Victron Smart Solar 150/85
  • PV Solar panels expectancy: 25 years @80%/ Battery: >16years (>5 500 cycles) expected life at 80% DoD
  • Anticipated system break even (Capitalization): 6 years

Specialized Solar Systems Enegydock Product Range

In this installation an Energydock product was used. The Energydock and Storagedock product range by Specialized Solar Systems aims to provide a durable, compact and complete energy solution in a ground or wall-mountable modular form factor.  The attractively encased Levels neatly tuck away the very latest lithium iron phosphate batteries coupled with Victron’s Blue Power quality grade inverters and components. Dependent on your energy requirements these compact units come in a variety of Levels to suite the market’s energy needs. Read more about this product range

As standalone devices, these units can be used as backup energy systems for your business and households. With a simple DC Attachment upgrade, which includes a Victron MPPT,  solar panels can be added.

By adding solar panels the Levels can generate then supply their own energy and  have the ability to combine solar with grid power making these systems a good investment by giving you energy security and savings for many years.

Some key advantages of Hybrid solar systems supplied and installed by Specialized Solar Systems:

  • If the power generated by PV solar arrays is inadequate to supply daytime loads as well as charge your batteries, the system can recharge your batteries from the grid when generally a lower off-peak electricity rate is applied.
  • When electricity usage goes above a certain level nationally, the grid supply may charge you at a higher rate for the increased level of demand. Hybrid systems can provide ‘peak lopping’ where some of the stored power can be drawn from the batteries to help balance power usage.
  •  If your grid connection does not have the capacity to supply a required load,  a hybrid solar system will supplement any extra power. This may allow you to avoid a costly mains upgrade to your property.

Hybrid solar systems empower you with energy security, self-sufficiency, and lock in your future cost of electricity, control when you use your solar power and provide an uninterrupted power supply.

The utility grid is a virtual battery
Electricity should be used as it is generated. However, it can be temporarily stored as other forms of energy (e.g. chemical energy in batteries).  Energy storage typically comes with significant costs.

The electric power grid is in many ways also a battery, without the need for maintenance or replacements, and with much better efficiency rates. In other words, more electricity (and more money) goes to waste with conventional battery systems.

Additional perks of being grid-tied include access to backup power from the utility grid in case extra power is required or if your solar system stops generating electricity for any reason.  At the same time, you also help to mitigate the utility’s peak load.

Customers can contact Specialized Solar Systems for more information on purchasing a Grid-Tied solar system and for expert advice when choosing the correct solar system solution for all your electrical energy needs.

Energydock Econo Range Level 4 small commercial off-grid installation near George

Written by Specialized on . Posted in Commercial solar solutions, Energydock, Off-grid.

Just outside George, in the Western Cape, there is a small storage park that does not have any Eskom power. Earlier this week, we installed a small commercial off-grid for them, consisting of the Energydock Econo Range Level 4 energy system and four 400-watt solar panels. This provided our client with a 1.6 kWp off-grid solar energy system capable of generating a daily average of around 7.2 kWh per day throughout the year. Using this energy system, the storage park is now able to power the electric entrance gate, electric fencing, security lights, and a CCTV security system with nine cameras, a monitor, and an alarm system 24/7.

The complete energy system was installed inside one of the containers, and the four solar panels were mounted on the roof over the containers. As you can see in the photos, it is a very compact installation – no unnecessary clutter and cabling, thanks to the unique design of the Econo Range which houses everything in its single enclosure. This includes the 5 kVA inverter, the MPPT, the 5.120 kWh LiFePO₄ battery and all the necessary fuses and wiring, taking up just 71 x 42cm of wall space!

As this unit is PV-ready, the solar panels are simply connected to the system once they have been mounted on the roof the wiring is done and voilá… power is on. This entire installation, from the very start to the end of the final testing, took 2 hours to complete, as the Energydock systems are already pre-programmed in our factory, making this a simple, no mess, no fuss installation!

Energydock Premium Range Level 4 Installation in Glentana

Written by Specialized on . Posted in Energydock, Residential solar solutions.

One of our recent installations was this Energydock Premium Range Level 4 energy system at a home in Glentana (Garden Route). As you can see in the photos, the Level 4 system was installed in a rather narrow pantry, but it still easily fits into the space, along with a DC Attachment unit and an AC Bypass box, without cluttering the pantry or stealing space.

The Premium Range Level 4 energy system has a 5 kVA Victron Multiplus II inverter and a 5.120 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. To enable this energy system to also generate power, our client decided to add our DC attachment unit with a 150/100 MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker). This meant that the system could be connected to 15 solar panels (of 400 Wp each) that were installed on their roof, resulting in a 6 kWp solar array. Now the Premium Level 4 system is not only a backup unit, but it also offers the homeowners energy security and grid support, enabling them to reduce their monthly energy costs by using the power that the system generates (which is an average of 27 kWh peak per day – not bad for such a compact energy system!) instead of power from the grid.
