The "libbi" modular battery system joins the home energy ecosystem

British energy solutions company myenergi has launched its own modular home battery, libbi. According to the manufacturer, libbi is a revolutionary product that achieves energy independence and sustainability in applications, designed to capture as much surplus solar power as possible while integrating with other myenergi devices.

这款产品将与智能太阳能分流器eddi和世界上第一台太阳能电动汽车智能充电器zappi一起加入myenergis生态智能产品系列。该公司补充说，这将使客户完成他们的家庭能源生态系统，帮助他们最大化地利用自己的可再生能源发电，并显著降低能源成本。

Jordan Brompton, co-founder and chief marketing officer of myenergi, said: “We’re really excited to be bringing the Smart Home Battery to the UK market. There are currently around one million homes in the UK with solar panels installed, and as electric vehicle sales continue to grow and the transition to electric heating accelerates, we know there will be huge growth in domestic renewable generation and the need for battery storage to maximise it.

The modular design uses a 5.1KWh battery pack that can be expanded to 20.4KWh using a 3.68kW or 5kW inverter. Depending on availability, customers can choose whether to use solar, grid electricity, or a mix of the two.

The home battery solution integrates batteries, inverters and controllers, allowing customers to complete their home energy ecosystem. Myenergi claims that Libbi is eco-smart and makes smart decisions about when to deliver power and store power based on energy usage, solar generation and customer electricity prices.

Unlike other home batteries, Libbi will allow customers to prioritize loads as they wish in the MyEnergi app, for example, to avoid automatic battery discharge when they plug in their electric car, or conversely, to charge the electric car directly from the home battery when Zappi is in ECO mode.

Lee Sutton, co-founder and CEO of myenergi, said: "We are committed to innovation and we are excited to provide technology that helps customers gain energy autonomy. Our Libbi home battery will help our customers complete their own energy ecosystem, allowing them to reduce their reliance on grid power and become more energy independent to reduce energy costs and reduce their own carbon footprint."

myenergi公司声称，4KW的家用太阳能电池板每年通常能产生约3500KWh的电力，这足以让一辆电动汽车行驶1万多英里。因此，如果更多的电能能被储存起来并供家庭使用，将对汽车和家庭的脱碳带来显著的好处。
