Choose Heiwit's new 10 kWh sodium ion batteries for your photovoltaic system: efficiency, sustainability and zero worries

Oct 27, 2024 | Sodium ion batteries

Introduction

Do you already have a photovoltaic system and are looking for a way to make the most of all the energy you produce? Heiwit's new 10 kWh sodium-ion batteries are the ideal solution for maximising self-consumption and further reducing energy costs. Thanks to their state-of-the-art technology, these batteries offer safety, sustainability and high performance without the limitations of conventional lithium systems. Discover all the benefits of adding a storage system to your system and how Heiwit can simplify the installation process.

1. Why choose a storage system for your photovoltaic system?

  • Maximise self-consumption and reduce your bill: A storage system allows you to store the energy produced by your photovoltaic system during sunny hours and use it when you need it most, such as in the evenings or during consumption peaks. By doing so, you minimise the need to purchase energy from the grid and optimise your energy independence.
  • Protection against blackouts: In the event of mains power failures, batteries allow you to continue supplying power to your home or business, ensuring continuity of supply in any situation.
  • Contribution to environmental sustainabilityA storage system allows you to make the most of the renewable energy you produce, reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to the fight against climate change.

2. Heiwit sodium ion batteries: an environmentally friendly and safe choice

  • Lithium-free, no compromise: Heiwit's sodium ion batteries do not contain lithium, a material that is increasingly difficult to source and presents environmental problems related to its extraction. With our batteries, you opt for a more environmentally friendly solution.
  • No memory effectUnlike older storage technologies, Heiwit sodium ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effect. This means that they can be recharged and discharged freely, maintaining their capacity over time.
  • 100% recyclable: Heiwit batteries are designed to be fully recyclable, reducing their environmental impact at the end of their life cycle. This feature makes them an excellent choice for those who care about sustainability and the future of our planet.
  • Duration of 20 years: Thanks to their robust construction and advanced technology, Heiwit batteries guarantee a service life of 20 years, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of energy storage for a long time.

3. Compatibility with your photovoltaic system: what you need to know

  • Compatibility Requirements: In order to install our 10 kWh sodium ion batteries, it is important that your photovoltaic system is not incentivised by the First Energy Account. This limitation is necessary in order to comply with the incentive rules in force. However, there is no problem for installations benefiting from the Second, Third, Fourth or Fifth Conto Energia, as well as for those not incentivised.
  • Simple and transparent installation: Connecting Heiwit batteries to your existing system is a process that requires a specialised installer. It will be necessary to replace the existing inverter with a hybrid inverter and add a retrofit inverter to ensure proper operation of the storage system.
  • Bureaucratic compliance: To install Heiwit batteries, you need to notify the GSE (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici) and E-Distribuzione, the entity that manages the electricity distribution network. Your trusted installer will be able to support you in this paperwork, or, if you prefer, the Heiwit team is available to assist you.

4. The economic advantages of a Heiwit storage system

  • Immediate and long-term savings: By adding Heiwit batteries to your photovoltaic system, you can reduce your dependence on the electricity grid even further and save even more on energy costs. The 10 kWh capacity allows you to cover a significant part of your daily consumption, especially during times when the system is not producing.
  • An investment for the future: Although the initial investment for installing batteries may seem significant, the long-term benefits are considerable. The 20-year lifespan of our batteries guarantees a return on investment, turning your photovoltaic system into your own personal power station.
  • Take advantage of our discount coupon: To celebrate the launch of the new batteries, Heiwit is offering a discount coupon worth €2,000 on the installation of the 10 kWh batteries. Contact us now to find out how you can get the discount and add an efficient and sustainable storage system to your installation.

5. How does the Heiwit battery installation process work?

  • Step 1: Evaluation of the installationContact your installer to check the compatibility of our batteries with your photovoltaic system. If you do not have an installer, Heiwit can put you in touch with one of our certified partners.
  • Step 2: Replacing the inverterIt will be necessary to install a hybrid inverter that handles both the production of the PV system and the battery storage. For existing systems, a retrofit inverter will also be added to better integrate the storage system.
  • Step 3: Communication to the GSE and E-Distribuzione: The installer will notify the GSE and E-Distribuzione of the intervention, ensuring that everything complies with the regulations.
  • Step 4: Install batteriesOnce the paperwork is completed, Heiwit batteries will be installed and connected to your system, ready to improve the energy efficiency of your home or business.
