Home battery

Take advantage of the power of the sun anytime with a home battery. As an owner of solar panels you are already well on your way to reducing your carbon footprint and saving on your energy bills. But what if you could hold and use that precious solar energy even when the sun isn’t shining? That’s where our home batteries come in. Discover how these advanced energy storage systems allow you to store excess solar energy and use it when you need it most, making you more independent of the energy grid and saving significantly. With dynamic contract, you can also use home battery dynamic market to trade with your power.

What are the advantages of a home battery?

A home battery, also called a home battery, is a smart way to store your own solar energy. During the day, your solar panels charge the battery. You use that energy later, such as in the evening or on a cloudy day. This way you reduce your dependence on the grid and keep control of your energy consumption.

With a home battery, you get more out of your solar panels. You feed less power back to the grid, which is beneficial now that feed-in refunds are getting lower and lower. You use the generated power when you need it. This saves costs and prevents a feed-in penalty.

A home battery also helps you toward a “0 on the meter” situation. This means that in a certain period of time, such as a month or a year, you generate as much electricity as you consume. Your home is then not completely off-grid, but you hardly draw any power from the grid and also supply little back. The generated energy is stored in the battery and used later when needed. This keeps you self-sufficient, without depending on fluctuating power prices or grid disruptions.

In addition, a home battery provides backup during power outages. Appliances keep working and your solar panels keep producing. If you have a hybrid inverter or system with an integrated inverter, everything functions automatically. With a dynamic contract, you can also take advantage of imbalance trading: charge power when it’s cheap and use or feed it back when it’s expensive.

You also benefit from 0% VAT on the purchase of a home battery. You can easily check whether you qualify for this by going to de-centrale.nl.

Advantages of a home battery in brief:

• Store solar energy and use it yourself: You use your own power when you need it, with no feed-in penalty.
• Backup in case of power failure: your appliances and solar panels continue to work if the grid fails.
• Trade with a dynamic energy contract: Buy power when it’s cheap and use or deliver it back when it pays off.
• 0 on the meter: smart energy management ensures that your energy meter stays virtually stationary.
• 0% VAT on purchase: do the test via this link and find out if you qualify for VAT refund.

Choose the right home battery: 1 phase or 3 phase

When choosing a home battery, it is important to know the difference between a 1-phase and a 3-phase home battery. Which one you need depends on your energy usage, the appliances in your home and your electrical connection.

What is a home battery 1 phase?

A 1-phase home battery is suitable for homes with a standard 1-phase connection. This is common in smaller homes or households with lower power consumption. You won’t be using heavy appliances such as a heat pump or charging station.

Advantages of a 1 phase home battery:

• Easier installation and usually lower cost
• Sufficient capacity for standard household use
• Ideal for smaller homes without heavy appliances

For example, if you do not use a heat pump or electric car, a 1-stage home battery can be an efficient and economical choice.

What is a home battery 3 phase?

A 3-phase home battery is suitable for homes with a 3-phase connection. This type is needed if you use energy-intensive appliances, such as a charging station, heat pump or induction cooktop. The battery distributes power evenly among the three phases, providing more balance and stability.

Advantages of a 3 phase home battery:

• Suitable for heavy-duty devices such as charging stations and heat pumps
• Prevents peak load and distributes power consumption evenly
• Increases the efficiency of your electrical system

A 3 phase home battery ensures that your appliances, such as charging stations or air conditioners, operate efficiently and are always supplied with sufficient power

How do you choose between a home battery 1 phase or 3 phase?

The choice between a 1-phase or 3-phase home battery depends on your current connection and future plans. Do you have a simple installation and do not use heavy equipment? Then a 1-phase battery is usually sufficient. Do you expect more power consumption or want to make your home more sustainable with heavier installations? Then you better choose a 3-phase battery.
