Energy transition for the home: Conergy complete systems with sun storage
Solar power around the clock, totally carefree - greater independence,
security and design
Hamburg, 19 December 2012 - Conergy gives Germany's house owners greater
independence. With the complete solar systems from the Hamburg system
supplier including a sun storage and a comprehensive carefree service
package, the road is now clear for clean solar power around the clock.
Private households can cover more than 70% of their annual power
requirements with the solar power plant on the roof and thus embark on
their very own energy transition. They will thereby lower their exposure to
rising electricity prices and achieve markedly lower overall monthly
electricity bills. But that is not all: Whether elegantly integrated into
the roof or creating a neat surface on top of the tiles, the all-inclusive
solutions with sun storage 'Conergy Complete 200' and 'Conergy Complete
300' in their 'little black dress' bring sophisticated design and
aesthetics onto every roof.
Grid parity is a reality: Every self-consumed kilowatt hour of solar power
saves costs
'In Germany, grid parity is already a reality for many private households,'
said Conergy Board Member Alexander Gorski. 'Using the green solar power
from your own roof instead of drawing energy from the grid, which is mostly
produced using fossil or nuclear fuel, now represents a genuine alternative
for plant owners - particularly in view of the way electricity prices have
developed over the last few years and the current household electricity
tariffs, which have risen sharply. With each kilowatt hour from their own
solar plant that they consume they are already saving hard cash today.
Storage technologies that make the solar power available at night as well,
when the sun does not shine, will play a key role in the future. They will
help to further increase the proportion of own consumption and the degree
of autonomy that households enjoy, thus gradually making solar energy even
more competitive.'
DIY energy transition made easy through comprehensive service package
The Conergy complete solutions include everything for the solar future:
high-performance and simultaneously aesthetically pleasing components
combined with state-of-the-art, resilient storage technology and a smart
energy management system make the most of the sunshine. In addition, the
all-round carefree package ensures 100% customer protection. Thanks to the
Conergy Premium Fully Comprehensive Insurance, which safeguards up to 90%
of the yields over 10 years, the comprehensive guarantees for the system
components as well as the customer-friendly terms of the PremiumPlus module
warranty the customer is secured for all eventualities.
3-in-1: store solar power, use solar power, feed in solar power
The storage solution used by Conergy is not a conventional battery but a
fully integrated system, which combines a highly efficient string inverter,
an intelligent energy management system and extremely resilient batteries
in one sleek compact unit. With its nominal output of 5 kilowatts and a
storage capacity of 8.8 kilowatt hours, the sun storage is designed for a 3
to 5-person household; it is roughly the size of a refrigerator and weighs
around 220 kilograms.
The Mercedes among storage devices: technology as used in Hybrid S-Class
and Airbus
All components of the sun storage are perfectly matched and rely on the
same state-of-the-art lithium-ion technology that is also used in the
automotive and aircraft sectors, in the Airbus A350 and in the Mercedes
Hybrid S-Class for instance. Lithium-ion batteries excel through high
storage capacity and energy density as well as long service life. They last
for around 7,000 full cycles, which corresponds to over 20 years of
operation, and therefore three times as long as lead-acid batteries. In
addition, the maintenance-free lithium-ion batteries have the great
advantage that their self-discharge is 50 to 80 per cent lower and their
cycle efficiency much higher - this means lower losses and greater yield
for the user. The intelligent energy management system analyses the yield
of the solar plant, household consumption as well as the charging status of
the battery on a second-by-second basis. It then optimises the energy
flows, increases efficiency and automatically selects the most favourable
option, thus guaranteeing long battery life.
Tax paradise: complete system with sun storage fully tax-deductible
In terms of system efficiency too, the sun storage plays in the Champions
League with a strong 85%. This relatively high overall value in comparison
with the industry standard is due on the one hand to the considerably
higher efficiency of the lithium-ion batteries but also to the lower
conversion losses. The battery converter charges the energy produced by the
solar plant directly from the DC link of the inverter. Unlike the situation
with most other systems, this means that the direct current is stored in
the battery without any detour and with minimum conversion losses. And the
batteries also offer great speed: they are fully charged within just one
hour. This makes the sun storage one of the fastest on the market. But this
DC system does not only offer technical advantages; the plant owner also
enjoys tax benefits, as the storage unit with its integrated PV inverter is
considered part of the solar plant and therefore fully tax-deductible.
Complete solution for installers: fast, simple, secure from planning to
installation
The Conergy complete solutions start with the planning process itself. The
Conergizer online tool allows the installer to execute the planning for the
solar plant quickly and professionally. The timely delivery of the
pre-assembled components directly to the customer's door saves the
installer a great deal of effort and leaves them sufficient time to
concentrate on the essential: the installation. All components of the
complete systems are optimised for fast, simple and secure fitting down to
the smallest detail - be it with the snap-in rail system for the in-roof
system Complete 200 or the patented QuickFix fastening system of the
on-roof variant Complete 300 for virtually tool-free installation. The
storage unit is also easy to handle thanks to pre-assembled components. It
is 'plug&play', so to speak. Installation is performed exclusively by
certified installers. Installers receive their certification upon
completion of the storage unit training, which Conergy offers as part of
its extensive training programme at the Conergy Academy.
