How big should a Battery Energy Storage for home?

If we select and dimension a Battery Energy Storage System for home or companies, we should speak to qualified designers and take several important factors into account, including:

1. Size of the solar system (available or new)
2. System type (on-grid or off-grid or hybrid)
3. Requirements for emergency power supply.
4. most importantly the energy consumption in the evening or at night (kWh),

Fortunately, most Battery Energy Storage systems are modular and scalable, so that they can be dimensioned accordingly. Against this background, we selected the best batteries according to the following six categories:

1st prize per kWh – advance costs and operating costs ($ per kWh per day)
2. Discharge depth (DOD) – Usable energy
3. Cycle life – number of charging cycles
4. Output power- max duration and top performance
5. Round-trip efficiency charging and discharge loss
6. Sustainability and environmental compatibility

The selection of the best battery is difficult due to the many available system types or configurations, each with different performance features. We should take into account the compatibility problem-many lithium batteries are designed for operation with a certain type of hybrid interrichter.
1 high-voltage or HV batteries can only be used with an HV-compatible hybrid inverter
2 AC-coupled batteries with built-in inverters, which enable them to retrofit them in a house with an existing solar system.
3 modular, rack-assembled battery systems that are designed for operation with powerful network-independent inverter charging devices.

Battery systems for energy storage in the household are available in different shapes and sizes. There are two common types:
1. Add the existing solar system batteries
2. Buy 2 new solar system and battery system at the same time.

The size of the energy storage is closely related to your budget, your place of residence, the type of solar system, your energy and battery consumption.

The homeowner can install an energy monitoring system to display the energy load and performance of the solar system to help you choose the system size.

On average, Australian households consume around 16 kWh per day. The battery size of most households ranges from 3 to 12 kWh. The battery installer can help you to determine the optimal size for your solar and battery system in accordance with your needs and location.
