Powervault P4 12kWh
I have had my Powervault P4 12kWh installed since the end of July 23 I have no solar and use the Powervault system to take advantage of time of use EV Driver tariff from British Gas Pre-InstallationThe only issue with the quotation process was that an additional cost was added to the quote that was not communicated to me and came as a surprise InstallationThere was a few technical issues during the installation that meant a second visit was required to replace a defective battery and then a 3rd visit to replace a broken front panel LED I had to supply a missing ethernet cable to enable the installation to be completed CommissioningI needed some help and fine tweaking of the settings due to higher than expected daytime grid usage during daytime battery discharge The settings were changed remotely by Powervault UsageThe Powervault system has worked perfectly since commissioning and only British Gas s inability to provide a functional dual tariff smart meter has prevented me from gaining accurate consumption data My SMETS 1 meter was inaccurate and eventually failed to record off peak usage for 3 months Since the installation of a new SMETS 2 meter I can confirm that my peak tariff usage is less than 0 5kWh day I have only completely drained the 12kWh batteries on 4 occasions This was over Christmas and New Year when cooking for house guests so I m happy I ve calculated the battery sizing fairly accurately The batteries usually take a charge of 10kWh to 12kWh a day I haven t accurately calculated the charging efficiency of the batteries but I m guessing it takes about 10 more power to charge the Powervault than it delivers Meaning a 11kWh charge will provide around 10kWh of available power for the house An 11kWh charge costs 1 03 on my tariff ConclusionInvesting in the Powervault system is providing a ROI of around 9 so significantly better than keeping the money in the bank The savings will pay for the Powervault system during the lifetime of the unit future energy prices will determine how quickly that is achieved

Solar battery storage for our small family farming business
We are a small family farming business which has diversified into a farm shop butchery and mail order business as well as until Covid a festival and party catering side In 2020 we installed a 56 Kwh solar pv array on one of our barns as part of our journey towards the greatest possible degree of environmentally responsible food production In 2021 we started to investigate adding a battery storage system for the surplus power that we were generating but not using Having spoken to quite a number of possible suppliers we decided upon Powervault and the installation of three 12 KWh battery arrays took place in May 2022 I have to say that the whole process has been fascinating and is proving a wise decision All points of contact with the Powervault have been easy and positive and their team from the delivery of the batteries to the follow up by various of their team answering questions etc have been terrific The app for monitoring the functioning of the system is a thing of beauty and constant fascination which appeals to nerds and non-nerds alike It works on our mobiles as well as on our desk-tops I really cannot fault the process and we are in discussion about adding further battery storage capacity in due course
