Power Up Your Home with EP900 Energy Storage System(ESS): Reasons to Install ESS and Store Excess Solar Power

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) unanimously voted to approve Net Energy Metering 3.0 (NEM), cutting the average export rate in California from $0.30 per kWh to $0.08 per kWh from April 15, 2023, slashing payments for excess solar production sent to the grid by 75%. Now citizens may wonder: Is it still an ideal option to sell the excess solar energy back to the grid?

Introducing Sustainable Energy

With the growing popularity of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, citizens in California will cost less to operate and have healthy indoor air that will propel a low-emissions future.

However, the rooftop solar systems can only supply electricity to homes during the day. As soon as the night falls, the utility grid becomes the only power source, and people will be forced into darkness in the event of a blackout. Additionally, even if some excess solar energy generated during the day is sold back to the grid, the price has decreased significantly.

BLUETTI, an industry-leading company specializing in energy storage solutions, is going to launch its brand-new EP900&B500 Energy Storage System (ESS) on May 25th this year, driving a shift to the self-consumption of solar energy.

EP900 ESS has a maximum 18kW continuous output and up to 39.6kWh capacity, and is able to run 120V/240V devices effortlessly. No need to rely on the grid, now clean solar energy generated during the day can be stored and extended into the evening, or as backup power to survive unexpected blackouts.

The Promising Prospect of The Energy Storage Market

The Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0 policy was designed to encourage homeowners to pair battery storage with their solar panels to become more self-sufficient and contribute to a more resilient electricity grid.

As the integration of solar PV and energy storage systems becomes increasingly popular, the advantages of such systems will be more apparent compared to rooftop solar systems.

Take the EP900 system as an example. The batteries can store solar energy generated by solar panels for later use, at night, or when the sun isn’t shining. It can essentially provide energy cost savings by charging lower-priced electricity and discharging at peak hours - generally between 4pm - 9pm.

Benefits of Installing An EP900 ESS

Make Solar Energy Available 24/7

The excess energy stored within the batteries allows easy access to solar energy and avoids exclusive reliance on the grid at night.

Real-Time Control

With BLUETTI App, homeowners can conveniently follow the productivity and power consumption of the solar system.

Get Through Power Failures

Plenty of power is always backup to meet the power needs in case of heat waves, wild fire, and other extreme weather conditions.

Effectively Reduce Electricity Bills

For a solar system in CA, it takes 5.92 years, on average, to break even on the solar investment, at which point customers may not owe anything on the electric bills.

Reduce Carbon Footprints

Charge household appliances and even electric vehicles with green and clean solar energy generated from the sun to reduce dependence on the utility grid, which is mainly generated from fossil fuels.

Reasons to Recommend BLUETTI EP900

Wide Compatibility

Choosing an energy storage battery that matches your solar PV system is essential. For example, Tesla Powerwall, which can only pair with Tesla solar panels, is not friendly for households with other brands’ solar panels.

BLUETTI EP900 ESS is highly recommended as it can be connected to an existing or new PV system, allowing households to enjoy free solar energy during the day and even at night. Store additional solar energy for e-bikes or electric cars. Nothing is better than driving in the sunshine!

Innovative Modular Design

EP900 is 100% modular, allowing a flexible capacity of 9.9kWh to 19.8kWh while pairing with 2 to 4 B500 battery packs (4,960Wh per pack). An EP900+2*B500 combo can deliver max 7,600W output power, while 9,000W for an EP900+3/4*B500 combo. It is compatible with single-phase and three-phase inverters, making it suitable for both residential and commercial scenarios.

With the 9.9kWh capacity and up to 7,600W continuous power , the EP900+2*B500 combo is enough to cover the whole house power demands. Meanwhile, more batteries can be stacked up as power needs grow. Even combine 2xEP900 and 8xB500 to reach an impressive capacity of 39.6kWh and high power of 18kW, which is fairly capable of running all appliances for a few days!

Hassle-Free Installation

Unlike Enphase, LG, Panasonic, FranklinWH, and Tesla Powerwall, which must be installed on the wall, BLUETTI EP900 and B500 batteries apply no pressure on the wall as they can be vertically placed on the floor. A certified installation team is ready to make this power mammoth accessible to every household.

10-Year Warranty Included

EP900 is equipped with high-quality LiFePO4 battery cells, which are safer, more stable, and have longer lifespans than ternary lithium batteries. It also has a 10-year warranty to spare customers a world of trouble.

Seamless Power Guaranteed

EP900 also features a Backup Gateway to provide energy management and monitoring for solar self-consumption, time-based control, and backup. It controls connection to the grid, automatically detects outages, and provides a seamless transition to backup power. Homeowners can now rest assured that constant power will always back up their homes.

Final Thoughts

With the slashed value of electricity sold back to the grid, going solar is a great way to save money while helping our planet. The modular EP900 ESS, which is perfectly compatible with most solar panels in the market, would be the best option to protect our home as well as our wallets. By investing in a battery system to team up with existing rooftop panels and storing excess solar energy for ready use, we’re paving the way for a more sustainable future for us and future generations.
