Installed in Hocking- 6065

Boosting an Existing Solar Setup with Reliable Backup Power

This Hocking home received a recent upgrade with a 50 kWh AC-coupled battery system designed to work in conjunction with the homeowner’s current solar PV system. A smart meter was added for improved monitoring, and essential-circuit blackout protection was configured to keep key areas powered during outages.

What Was Installed

  • 50 kWh AC-coupled Alpha ESS battery bank
  • Cabinet-style battery units arranged along the garage wall
  • Smart meter for enhanced visibility of energy use
  • Essential-load blackout protection
  • Neat and compliant conduit linking all battery and control components
  • Full integration with the pre-existing solar PV system

How the System Was Set Up

The battery cabinets were mounted with consistent spacing to allow for cooling and straightforward servicing. Impact-rated bollards were installed in front of each cabinet to provide physical protection.

Conduit and wiring were routed cleanly and securely to tie the battery bank into the existing inverter and the newly installed smart meter. With the AC-coupled configuration, the existing solar system remained unchanged, allowing the homeowner to keep their original inverter.

Backup protection was set up to ensure essential circuits remain active during a grid outage.

Key Advantages for the Homeowner

  • Significant 50 kWh storage capacity for night-time and peak-period use
  • Increased self-consumption of their solar energy
  • Smart meter providing real-time usage and generation insights
  • Reduced dependence on grid electricity
  • Backup power to selected essential circuits
  • A well-organised layout designed for safety and long-term reliability

Final Result

This upgraded setup in Hocking provides the homeowner with a dependable energy storage solution that complements their existing solar PV system. With large-capacity storage, enhanced monitoring, and essential-load backup, the installation delivers improved energy resilience and long-term value.
