A growing group of “prosumers” — renewable energy users
who produce and consume their own power — are driving
demand for solutions that support self-reliant living, cutting
their own electricity bills while helping society mitigate
climate change via reduced carbon emissions.
But prosumers aren’t roughing it.
The availability of connected solutions, which can remotely
manage energy usage, control heating or even launch a
favorite playlist, means that self-reliant homes are rapidly
becoming venues for more comfortable and convenient
lifestyles.
It’s all part of the rise of the “clean energy economy,” where
intelligent buildings equipped with photovoltaic (PV) cells and
turnkey solar power storage solutions are enabling families
and businesses to achieve energy self-sufficiency.
For prosumers ready to turn their dreams of energy
independence into reality, FIMER has combined the solar
inverter with energy storage capability, in a modular system
called REACT 2.
REACT 2 does dual duty to support up to 90 % energy self-
sufficiency: the inverter portion of the system delivers AC for
household power, and it also sends excess electricity to the
unit’s lithium-ion battery, available with storage capacities
from 4 kWh to 12 kWh, where it’s stored for later use.
In real-world operation, excess electricity is typically
produced by rooftop solar cells during peak hours of sunlight.
It’s stored by the REACT 2 for use after dark, during the night,
and early in the morning. The upshot is that prosumers are
never without energy.
The security of “always on” power is one reason why the
majority of prosumer don’t go entirely “off the grid”.
Maintaining a connection back to the utility supports excess
demand that can not be met by self-production, provides
backup in the case of local equipment failure and enables
prosumers to sell excess power back to the utility.
An emerging generation of renewable energy users are
producing and consuming their own power, as the vision
of a zero-emissions future becomes mainstream.
