How long does a 10KWh battery last for a family?

As green energy becomes increasingly popular, more and more families are choosing to install home energy storage systems to improve energy self-sufficiency, reduce electricity bills, and enhance the ability to cope with sudden power outages. As a manufacturer focusing on high-quality battery energy storage products, GreenMore is well aware that users are looking forward to the actual use of energy storage systems. So the question is: How long can a 10KWh energy storage battery power an average family?

This article will analyze this issue in detail from a professional perspective, combining real household electricity consumption and the technical advantages of GreenMore 10KWh energy storage batteries.

1. What is a 10KWh energy storage battery?

First of all, we need to make it clear that "10KWh" refers to the capacity of the battery, that is, it can store 10 kilowatt-hours of energy. This is equivalent to:

  • Can power a 1000-watt microwave oven for 10 hours
  • Or power a 200-watt refrigerator for 50 hours
  • Or it can support multiple home appliances to run for several hours at the same time

It should be noted that the actual usage time depends on factors such as the household's electricity usage habits, load power, and whether it is used in conjunction with a solar system.

2. Analysis of Daily Household Electricity Demand

The lifestyles of different regions and families vary greatly, so the electricity consumption is also different. The following is a reference data of the average daily electricity consumption of a typical family of three (unit: kWh):

Home Appliances Power (W) Average Daily Usage Time Daily Power Consumption
Air Conditioner 1500 4h 6
Refrigerator 200 24h 4.8
Television 150 4h 0.6
Illumination 100 6h 0.6
Computer/Mobile Phone 200 3h 0.6
Other Small Appliances Average 200 2h 0.4
Total     13KWh

Note: This is a typical high-power consumption scenario, especially when air conditioning is frequently used in summer. If a photovoltaic system is installed in the home and used in conjunction with energy storage batteries, daily power demand can be significantly reduced.

3. How long can a 10KWh energy storage battery last?

Assuming that the household consumes an average of 10kWh of electricity per day and relies entirely on energy storage batteries (without mains or photovoltaic input), then:

  • 10KWh battery = 10kWh daily power consumption → theoretical battery life is 1 day

However, in actual applications, the battery will not be 100% discharged. It is usually recommended to retain a certain amount of power to extend the life (for example, retain 20% power). Therefore:

  • Effective usable capacity is approximately 8kWh
  • Under the above power consumption mode, sustainable power supply can be about 19-20 hours

If the household electricity consumption is low (such as only 5kWh per day), a 10KWh battery can support about two days of continuous use.

4. How to extend the service life of 10KWh energy storage battery?

GreenMore recommends the following ways to improve energy storage efficiency:

  • Equipped with solar power generation system

By using solar energy to charge during the day and using energy storage batteries to supply power at night, a closed-loop system of "photovoltaic and storage integrated" is formed, which greatly reduces dependence on municipal electricity.

  • Intelligent load management

The GreenMore energy storage system supports an intelligent energy management system that automatically dispatches power resources based on power usage priorities to ensure the continuous operation of critical equipment (such as refrigerators, lighting, and medical equipment).

  • Peak-shifting electricity consumption strategy

As a manufacturer focusing on the research and development and application of energy storage technology, GreenMore is committed to providing efficient, safe and intelligent energy storage solutions for BIPV systems.

This article will analyze for you from a professional perspective: What is a BIPV system? What are its advantages? And the key role played by the energy storage system in it.

1. Definition of BIPV system

BIPV is a building-integrated photovoltaic power generation system. Different from the traditional photovoltaic system installed on the roof or ground, BIPV integrates solar cell modules directly into the structure of the building, such as the roof, curtain wall, windows, sunshades, etc., so that it has both power generation function and architectural aesthetic characteristics.

In short, BIPV is not only a power generation system, but also a part of building design.

  • Material-level integration: BIPV components must meet the specifications of building mechanics, fire protection, waterproofing, etc. For example, the use of 1156mm wide aluminum-zinc-magnesium trapezoidal tiles and 1134mm wide photovoltaic components without rail fixing technology, through hidden screws and waterproof gaskets to achieve zero roof seepage, wind resistance of 376 kg, and life span of the same frequency as the building.
  • Photoelectric conversion path: Monocrystalline silicon cells (efficiency 22%-25%) and cadmium telluride thin-film cells (strong response to weak light) are combined according to the scene to achieve an adjustable light transmittance of 10%-50% for the building facade. The four-way ventilation design under the components improves the power generation efficiency by 8%-12% compared with the traditional BAPV system.
  • System architecture: The grid-connected BIPV system consists of photovoltaic modules, combiner boxes, high-frequency inverters, energy storage batteries and smart meters. Among them, the high-frequency inverter converts direct current into pure sine wave alternating current to achieve grid parallel or off-grid switching.

2. Core features of BIPV system

  • Versatility

BIPV components are not only used to generate electricity, but also undertake the functions of traditional building materials, such as heat insulation, sun shading, lighting, waterproofing, etc.

  • Save space

Since photovoltaic panels are directly integrated into the building structure, no additional land resources need to be occupied, which makes them particularly suitable for densely populated urban areas.

  • Improving building energy efficiency

Through reasonable design, BIPV can significantly reduce the overall energy consumption of buildings and improve energy self-sufficiency.

  • Green and Environmentally Friendly

Utilizing solar energy, a clean and renewable energy source, can reduce carbon emissions and meet the requirements of the “dual carbon” goals.

3. Typical application scenarios of BIPV systems

  • Commercial buildings

BIPV components can be integrated into the exterior walls, glass curtain walls and roofs of large public buildings such as office buildings, shopping malls and convention and exhibition centers.

  • Residential buildings

Villa roofs, balcony sunshades, awnings and other locations can be used to install beautiful and efficient photovoltaic components.

  • Infrastructure

Infrastructure such as bus stops, parking lot roofs, and rail transit stations can also use BIPV systems to generate electricity for their own use.

  • Industrial Plant

The factory building has a large roof and facade area, which is very suitable for deploying BIPV systems and combining them with energy storage systems to achieve closed-loop management of green electricity in the factory.

 

BIPV system

4. The role of energy storage system in BIPV

Although BIPV can generate electricity during the day, its power supply is intermittent and fluctuating, and cannot meet the power demand around the clock. Therefore, in modern BIPV systems, energy storage systems are becoming indispensable.

  • Improve energy utilization: Store excess photovoltaic power generated during the day and use it at night or on cloudy days.
  • Enable off-grid/hybrid operation mode: Enhance system independence and reliability, especially for remote areas or environments with unstable power grids.
  • Reduce peak loads and fill valleys to save electricity costs: In commercial scenarios, energy storage systems can help users avoid using electricity during peak electricity price periods.
  • Intelligent management and remote monitoring: Real-time monitoring of power generation, storage and consumption through the Energy Management App.

GreenMore provides a variety of energy storage products suitable for BIPV systems, including:

  • Wall-mounted energy storage battery: saves space, suitable for homes and small offices;

What is a low frequency solar inverter ?

In a solar photovoltaic system, the inverter plays a vital role. It is responsible for converting the direct current (DC) generated by the photovoltaic panels into alternating current (AC) for home and commercial use. According to their operating frequencies, inverters are mainly divided into high-frequency inverters and low-frequency inverters. This article will introduce the characteristics, advantages and applicable scenarios of low-frequency solar inverters in detail from the professional perspective of GreenMore.

1. Working principle of low frequency solar inverter

Low-frequency solar inverters use power frequency transformers to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), and their core operating frequency is 50Hz or 60Hz. Compared with high-frequency inverters, low-frequency solutions use the principle of electromagnetic induction to achieve voltage amplitude adjustment and electrical isolation through transformer windings. This design retains the stability advantage of traditional power frequency transformers, while reducing harmonic interference by optimizing the filter circuit, and the output waveform is closer to a standard sine wave.

At the structural level, low-frequency inverters usually include DC input, full-bridge inverter circuit, power frequency transformer, filter circuit and control module. Among them, the power frequency transformer, as a key component, undertakes the dual functions of voltage conversion and safety isolation. Its core material is made of high-permeability silicon steel sheets to effectively reduce hysteresis loss and eddy current loss.

Key features of low frequency inverter:

  • High power output: Low frequency inverters are able to handle higher power loads due to the use of conventional oversized transformers.
  • Better shock resistance: suitable for starting equipment that requires instantaneous high power, such as motors, refrigerators, etc.
  • More stable performance: It has stronger adaptability to power grid fluctuations, especially excellent performance in harsh environments.

2. Advantages of Low Frequency Solar Inverter

  • High reliability and long life

Because their design is based on mature power frequency technology, low-frequency inverters have high mechanical strength and electrical stability. This enables them to maintain efficient operation for a long time and reduce maintenance requirements.
