FAQ
-
Can you go completely off-grid?
Yes, it is possible to go completely off-grid, but it requires a well-designed system that can generate and store enough energy. This usually includes solar panels, wind turbines, batteries for energy storage and sometimes a backup generator. The goal is…
-
What to do about grid congestion?
To combat grid congestion, measures such as peak shaving, improving energy efficiency, establishing local energy storage systems and upgrading the power grid can be taken. This helps reduce the load on the grid and ensure a more stable power supply.…
-
How does grid congestion work?
Grid congestion occurs when there is more demand for electricity than the grid can supply. This can lead to overloads and disruptions in power supply. The grid cannot supply power to all consumers at the same time, resulting in restrictions…
-
How does energy trading work?
Energy trading involves energy producers and consumers buying and selling energy in the energy market, also known as the imbalance market. This can be done directly between parties or through an energy market platform. The goal is to balance supply…

What does a grid reinforcement cost?
The cost of a grid upgrade varies greatly depending on the upgrades needed and the size of the system. We would be happy to help with a calculation based on your specific situation.
-
What is a grid attenuation?
Grid reinforcement is the process of upgrading the power grid to accommodate greater power capacity. This may be necessary if the current grid cannot provide enough power for increasing consumption. An energy storage system is a common way to add…
-
What is grid peak shaving on the inverter?
Grid peak shaving on the inverter means that the inverter helps reduce peak loads on the grid. It does this by using power from the battery during peak hours, reducing the load on the grid and lowering costs.
-
Is peak shaving worth it?
Yes, peak shaving can be worthwhile, especially for companies with high energy costs during peak hours. How much a company benefits from peak shaving depends heavily on the distribution of energy consumption throughout the day. Peak shaving can help lower…
-
What is peak shaving with battery storage?
Peak shaving with battery storage involves storing excess energy in batteries when consumption is low. This stored energy is then used during peak hours to meet the high demand for power and minimize energy costs.
-
How does peak shaving work?
Peak shaving means reducing the highest electricity consumption in a given period of time. This is done by using temporarily stored energy during peak hours. This reduces peak grid consumption and saves energy costs.
-
How should old or damaged batteries be disposed of?
Old or damaged batteries should be disposed of through certified recycling and disposal companies that specialize in handling lithium-ion batteries. These companies can safely dismantle the batteries and reuse or process the materials in an environmentally friendly manner. It is…
-
How should electrolyte leaks be treated?
Spills should be cleaned up immediately with appropriate absorbent materials and personal protective equipment (PPE). Spilled material should be disposed of as hazardous waste according to local regulations.
