Enabling integration of PV, energy storage and load electrification

Efficient and safe integration of PV and energy storage for homeowners

Combining solar power and energy storage in homes

Homes account for around a third of Europe’s energy consumption. Every home that adopts a renewable energy strategy reduces demand on the grid, which is vital for a low-carbon, sustainable future.

Homeowners who use energy storage alongside solar panels can increase their savings on energy bills, and their reductions in carbon emissions by approximately 30%.

The importance of safe integration of PV and storage

Whether a homeowner's priority is saving money, energy independence, increasing capacity or a mixture of these motivations, safety is always important. Retrofits and new builds alike need installations that properly protect the home, it’s people and possessions. Eaton brings a depth of experience to energy storage and safe power management with over 100 years’ experience in the electrical industry. Our products, such as DC and AC switch connectors, DC surge protection and PV ready distribution boards are developed to the highest electrical safety standards and are simple to install and use.

Homeowner Bjarne Tveit has managed to reduce his electricity bill by combining solar energy and energy storage from Eaton

“When we moved in, the energy consumption was around 44,000 kWh a year. The goal is to reduce this by two-thirds, and save around 30,000 kWh”

Discover how Magnus Vågen and his family now use 75% less energy, through insulation, solar panels, a heat pump and Eaton’s energy storage system

“I wanted to utilise more solar energy, and with the new instalments, I can store the energy when the energy prices are low and use it when the prices are high”

Twenty of Eaton’s energy storage systems installed in a Norwegian housing association homes to maximise solar panel usage and support EV charging

“Energy storage will complement the future energy market, and consumers will benefit in form of smarter energy usage. The customer will be able to control their homes in a smarter way.”
