S³-home battery
Make your home or SME energy self-sufficient with S³ Smart Solar Storage. A home battery, but much smarter. This way, you maximize the return from your solar panels, save on costs every day, and stay powered even during outages.
From 30% to 70% own energy supply
With the S³ Smart Solar Storage, you can efficiently store your solar energy in a battery instead of feeding it back into the distribution grid. When your self-generated energy is no longer sufficient to power your devices, the S³ activates. The stored energy in the battery is then supplied back to your own electricity network via the integrated inverter. If the battery is empty, the distribution grid can support you until the next sunny day. Thanks to battery storage, you can increase your self-sufficiency from 30% to 70%.
With the S³ you also increase your independence in the event of a power outage.
Freezer, refrigerator, PC, CH pump, ... continue to function via the integrated emergency power functionality (No-Break).
How much autonomy do I have with a 6.4 kWh battery capacity?
In winter mode (battery always fully charged) and with a power consumption of 500W (e.g. freezer, central heating pump, and a few energy-efficient lights), you have an autonomy of approximately 10 hours.
Batteries
A battery is an essential part of a self-consumption system and we recommend choosing a lithium battery for this. Alternatively, you could opt for an environment-friendly salt water battery. Studies have shown that for an average home (consumption ± 5000kWh) a ratio of battery storage/consumption of 1.25kWh/1MWh is regarded as optimal.
The modular lithium batteries from Pylontech and ZYC are the ideal solution for this:
SIMPO5000 - Capacity per module 5.12kWh
The SIMPO5000 has the following advantages:
- fits in a 19" rack
- modular
Installation requires brackets (wall or floor).
Alternatively, you can opt for a pre-wired battery cabinet with integrated busbar.
FLEXVOLT - Capacity per module 16kWh
The FlexVolt is chosen for:
- its small floor area (760x290mm)
- easy installation
- its attractive design
- stackable
- outdoor IP65
Dynamic ESS
Automatically save on energy costs
Dynamic ESS intelligently manages your entire installation. Advanced algorithms charge and discharge the battery based on expected consumption, solar yield at your location, and current energy prices, so you can fully benefit from a dynamic energy contract. The result: lower costs, greater use of your own solar energy, reduced dependence on the grid, and the option to automatically sell excess power. Dynamic ESS is free and comes standard with every Victron ESS system.
Peakshaving
No more trips to the meter cabinet when you want to use your heat pump, EV charger, and induction cooktop at the same time. The peak shaving function automatically smooths out consumption peaks by quickly activating the ESS battery. This allows you to get more capacity from your existing grid connection and, in some cases, even switch to a lighter, more cost-effective connection.
