DESCRIPTION

Home Battery Backup - Small

Frankensolar America’s Home battery backup systems are designed to provide backup power to critical loads in a home in the case of a power outage in Canada. Critical loads are typically the following items in your home:

  • Fridge & Freezer
  • Lighting
  • Communication infrastructure
  • Furnace Fans and Controls

Most modern heating systems require electricity to operate even if the natural gas or propane supply is not interrupted.

Most residential homes have a low power demand for these critical loads and a 4kWac system supplying the home’s critical load panel is more than sufficient in most cases.

The two smaller Home Backup Systems, Small and Medium, both build on the Schneider Electric’s Conext SW Battery Hybrid Inverter. The inverter has an AC input (120/240V) and an AC output that supplies the critical load panel and all loads connected downstream.

During normal operation when the grid power is available, the internal transfer relay is closed, and all loads are powered directly by the grid. The SW battery hybrid inverter maintains the battery voltage and keeps the batteries fully charged.

When the grid fails the SW battery hybrid inverter detects the loss of AC power on the grid input terminal and immediately opens the transfer relay and initiates the battery operation. This transfer happens very quickly within 16 milliseconds and is therefore nearly instant and will not affect the continuous operation of the connected loads.

Besides the power capabilities, the runtime of the battery is an important aspect to pay attention to. Statistically, most grid power outages do not last very long, therefore you only need a system to last you a few hours, and to keep the aforementioned critical loads running. The following table can give you an idea how long the system could last on battery power in different load scenarios:

Per 5kWh Increment of Nominal Battery Storage

Electrical Appliances Electrical Load Run Time
  • Fridge
  • Freezer
  • Lighting (LED)
  • Wi-Fi Router
  • Heating
    • Thermostat
    • Controller
    • Furnace Blower
500W 7 Hours

All of the Above Plus, Occasional Use of:

  • Coffee Machine
  • Microwave
  • Other Small Appliances
800W 5 Hours

 

Longer runtimes can be achieved by adding additional battery storage. An 18kWh nominal battery storage system could provide the following runtime: 

 

Electrical Appliances Electrical Load Run Time
  • Fridge
  • Freezer
  • Lighting (LED)
  • Wi-Fi Router
  • Heating
    • Thermostat
    • Controller
    • Furnace Blower
500W 28 Hours

All of the Above Plus, Occasional Use of:

  • Coffee Machine
  • Microwave
  • Other Small Appliances
800W 16 Hours

 

If multiple day power backup is required, the best combination is a medium sized battery system that uses a small generator as a multi-day backup energy source. This combination represents the best of both worlds: instant, fully automated silent battery backup at a low upfront cost, and multiday backup capability with sporadic recharging sessions from a small generator. Honda EU generators are very popular solution for these applications.

Battery Options:

In general, two battery chemistries are suitable for battery backup installations in residential homes.

The most common is a Lead Acid AGM battery. AGM is maintenance free, does not need ventilation and has a long floating life.

The higher cost, yet modern chemistry is the Lithium-Ion battery. Lithium is also maintenance free and can be easily installed in homes and has a long-life expectancy as well.

In either case, each technology is not limited by their respective cycle life. Assuming there are 10 backup incidents per year. Over the course of 20 years this might result into just 200 cycles. The AGM battery can easily provide 800 cycles and most Lithium chemistries a few thousand cycles. Therefore, cycle life is not the determining factor in a backup system.

 

We recommend simple systems, that can be installed easily and can be scaled to the individual customer's needs. The most common battery selections are the maintenance free Trojan SAGM06-220 (Kit 3) and SAGM06-375 (Kit 4 & 5). For most residential backup applications, this battery type represents the best combination of longevity, maintenance free operation and at an attractive price.

              How big is the kit once it's assembled? How much space will I need?

              Each Kit is around 10m2 so you'll need a space like a garage or spare room. Installing solar panels requires a little bit of extra preparation. It's best to find an area in your home - like a garage corner or spare room - that can accommodate all the equipment while it waits to be installed. Each panel will come individually boxed and protected, so you'll have the freedom of leaving them inside or outside until they're ready for use.

              All our products are made in the USA and Canada. 

              Do I need to keep the batteries inside or outside?

              Lithium batteries thrive in environments similar to humans, as they prefer moderate temperatures. To ensure optimal performance and longevity it's important that you avoid storing them in extremely hot or cold areas such as a garage with extreme temperature fluctuations throughout the day; basements are generally an ideal place for lithium batteries since these spaces maintain steadier temps between 60F-90F degrees Fahrenheit. A battery can still be utilized when below 32° F but should not require charging until above 32° F.

              Do I need to buy anything extra?

              Our kits provide the essentials for your installation needs, but don't forget to stock up on those extra items from the hardware store like special tools, ground rods and wire. Also grab some UniStrut if putting in solar panels is part of your plan. You'll have all you need with our complete kit set-up.

              How long does it take to receive my kit?
