About Our Home Battery Storage System
The EcoTech Home Battery Storage System represents the pinnacle
of residential energy storage technology. Using advanced lithium
iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, this system offers the perfect
balance of performance, safety, and longevity for homeowners
looking to maximize their renewable energy usage or ensure
reliable backup power.
Unlike older lead-acid batteries, our LFP system can be
discharged up to 95% of its capacity without damage, effectively
giving you more usable energy per kWh of storage. The integrated
hybrid inverter allows for seamless integration with new or
existing solar panel systems, automatically prioritizing the use
of solar power and only drawing from the grid when necessary.
The system includes sophisticated power management software that
learns your household's energy patterns and optimizes charging
and discharging cycles accordingly. During normal operation, it
can store excess solar energy produced during the day for use in
the evening, or charge during off-peak electricity hours to
reduce your energy bills.
Benefits of Energy Storage
-
Maximize Self-Consumption: Store excess solar
energy instead of feeding it back to the grid, often at low
feed-in tariff rates
-
Energy Independence: Reduce reliance on the
utility grid and volatile energy prices
-
Backup Power: Keep essential systems running
during power outages
-
Time-of-Use Optimization: Charge when
electricity is cheap, use battery power when rates are high
-
Grid Services: Potential participation in
utility demand response programs for additional savings
-
Carbon Footprint Reduction: Maximize usage of
your clean energy generation
System Design
Our battery system features a modular design that allows for
future expansion as your energy needs grow. The base 10kWh
configuration can be expanded up to 40kWh by adding additional
battery modules without replacing the main inverter/controller
unit. This provides flexibility and scalability while protecting
your initial investment.
The integrated Battery Management System (BMS) continuously
monitors the health and performance of each individual cell,
ensuring optimal charging patterns, temperature management, and
protection against potential issues. This sophisticated
monitoring extends battery life and provides peace of mind
regarding safety.

Installation Information
The Home Battery Storage System includes professional
installation by certified technicians as part of the package
price. Our installation process is thorough and ensures your
system is set up for optimal performance and safety.
Important:
Due to the complexity of energy storage systems and electrical
safety requirements, we do not recommend DIY installation.
Professional installation is required to maintain warranty
coverage and ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
