]]> Storage capacity is determined based on optimal performance yields of a Smartflower system. With the storage options on offer, personal use levels of 80 – 90% are attained according to personal application habits. In theory it is possible to raise the self-sufficiency level to 100% with the application of a large storage unit (>10 kWh). Additional acquisition costs would make no economic sense in relation to use. What is pivotal is the use of small storage units in combination with simultaneously intelligent user control. (i.e, turning on washing machines at midday).

]]> You can use both variants with 2.3 kWh or 4.6 kWh up to 2,500 W constantly; as long as energy is stored in the lithium battery. You can use 6,000 VA briefly (for up to 3 seconds) as start-up current with working machines or freezer chests. You can check the loading status of your storage unit on your smartphone, tablet or internet browser. In this case there is a connection provision for WLAN (cable-less) or LAN (with cable connection) between your Smartflower plus and IT set-up, which is as easy as plugging a smartphone into WLAN, or plugging a computer into your LAN. The hardware for WLAN or LAN connections (LAN cables not included) is installed free as standard in Smartflower plus.

Example: if you have an annual consumption requirement of 3,500 kWh and can cover 60% of it through your photovoltaic facility, then you will save 2,100 kWh per year and 588 kg* of CO2-emissions.

]]> Owner-use is taken to mean covering household electricity requirements through self-produced electricity by means of a photovoltaic facility.

Example: if you have an annual consumption requirement of 3,500 kWh and can cover 60% of it through your photovoltaic facility, then you will save 2,100 kWh per year and 588 kg* of CO2-emissions. The 40% difference (=1,400 kWh) you feed as 100% green electricity into the public grid**, which means you pare down pollutants generally and receive money as a reward.

*1 kWh standard electricity (extracted from the grid, average emission factor for the Austrian grid mix) = 0,28 kg CO2; 1 kWh green electricity (taken from the electricity grid) = 0,03 kg CO2
**not possible in all regions/ countries.

]]> With Smartflower, a level of personal consumption can be attained thus:

  • 60% with an annual electricity consumption of around 3,500 kWh – with a roof-mounted solar panel system only approx. 24%
  • 80% with an annual electricity consumption of around 7,000 kWh – with a roof-mounted solar panel system only approx. 33%
  • 100% with an annual electricity consumption of approx. 10,000 kWh – with a roof-mounted solar panel system only approx. 55%

With Smartflower mainstream build-up can attain personal use levels of up to:

  • 90% with an annual electricity consumption rate of approx. 3,500 kWh
  • 100% with an annual electricity requirement rate of approx. 7,000 kWh

The reason is simple: Smartflower produces electricity all day long, from sunrise to sunset. With a solar panel system, only around midday. The values indicated are subject to change according to region and solar rays received, and are experience-based values which are dependent on your consumption profile.
