Sungain Battery Bank (CP775)

The project was led by Nottingham Energy Partnership (NEP) and had the following aims:

• Install domestic battery storage in 35 privately owned homes with solar PV in the Unitary Authority of Thurrock.
• Assess the performance of 3 different battery technologies:
  o Maslow V3 battery manufactured with a capacity of 2kWh
  o PowerFlow Sundial SDM-2.0-500 with a capacity of 2kWh
  o Victron MultiPlus Compact C-12/800/35 with 260Ah AGM lead acid battery
• Assess levels of resident satisfaction with the technology
• Determine the battery performance over about 2 years and the savings for the residents from the batteries and the solar PV systems
• Consider any challenges associated with further large-scale deployment of the technologies
