Saft Provides Smart Battery Storage For Schüco's Intelligent Solar Energy Management System
June 18, 2012
[ back ] [ comment ]
Saft recently announced it is providing Lithium-ion (Li-ion) based smart storage solutions for Schüco's
Energy Manager in-building PV energy storage system. The new system will be made commercially available this summer.
Schüco is a leading provider of in-building energy management solutions including photovoltaic
(PV) and solar thermal systems. The Energy Manager is receiving a high level of interest
from operators who want to optimize their on-site generation and use of solar electricity. As a
result, Saft estimates that there could be a need for several thousand battery systems a year for
Schüco.
The Schüco Energy Manager is designed to determine if energy should be stored, consumed or sold
back to the grid. The system control unit detects how much self-generated electricity is available
and combines this information with data from external sources. Electricity is only exported when
production exceeds storage capacity.
The system has undergone extensive functional tests and is being certified by German authorities
in order to comply with safety rules. The battery system for Schüco has been developed to offer efficient and flexible energy storage year round to
support the highly dynamic charge and discharge cycling profiles found in renewable applications,
with a 20 year service life.
