As a direct result of the acceleration of solar energy deployment in France – with more than 3 GW installed by 2023 – battery electricity storage is also experiencing strong growth.
French equipment supplier Monabee takes the opportunity to expand its offer with two solutions for the storage of the energy produced by solar panels: a physical battery and another virtual battery, allowing in both cases to optimize the consumption of self-generated electricity.
The virtual battery system, launched in collaboration with installer Urban Solar Energy, is still relatively undeveloped on the French market and is a service that allows unlimited energy storage in terms of volume and time. The principle is simple: when the solar panels produce energy during the day, the excess electricity that is not consumed is automatically registered and credited to a personal online account.
When the solar installation does not produce enough or not at all – at night or on days with little sunlight – the electricity from the virtual battery is used before that from the electricity grid, thanks to an automatic countdown. Without having to plan equipment or maintenance.
Monabee also offers a physical storage solution: the Huawei Luna 2000 battery. Backed by a ten-year warranty, the storage system adapts to fluctuations in production and consumption and charges only with the excess energy produced by the panels. It is available in three versions: 5 kWh, 10 kWh or 15 kWh, with the possibility of changing the power of the installation if necessary.
