A home battery, also known as a home accumulator or home energy storage system, is a form of energy storage where electricity can be temporarily stored in a device. Often, this is linked to solar panels, allowing locally generated energy to be stored rather than being sent back to the electrical grid.

A home battery is a smart investment due to substantial savings for our customers. With  the innovative home battery systems from Landport Energy, one can save up to €2,000 annually on the electricity bill. The capability to automatically store solar energy or purchase energy cost-effectively on the open energy market (EPEX) makes saving an effortless step. Investing in our smart-controlled home battery is particularly attractive right now. On average, you’ll recoup the investment in a home battery within 7 years.

Furthermore, a home battery contributes to a more efficient use of generated solar energy. In the Netherlands, more than 70% of self-generated solar energy is typically returned to the grid to be repurchased in the evening. However, with a home battery, up to 80% of generated solar energy can be self-utilized by storing it and using it in the evenings. This reduces the impact of rising energy prices and minimizes issues related to power outages.

During the day, a significant amount of green energy is produced while people are often away from home. In the evenings, when more energy is consumed, sustainable energy production is lower. To meet the demand, energy suppliers either import electricity from abroad or generate it using fossil fuels, leading to wastage of generated sustainable energy. With a home battery, more of the self-produced sustainable energy is utilized since the stored energy from the battery is used in the evenings, resulting in minimal reliance on the grid.

The reasons behind the gradual phasing out of the netting scheme are diverse, but one of the primary motivations is to achieve a balance between demand and supply on the electricity grid. Here’s an overview:

1. Improvements in solar panels: The net metering scheme was introduced when solar panels were less efficient and expensive. With the significant decrease in the price and payback period of solar panels, it’s now feasible to gradually phase out this scheme.
2. Encouraging self-consumption: Currently, Dutch households feed substantial amounts of green energy back into the electricity grid, leading to an oversupply compared to demand. Encouraging self-consumption, for example, through home batteries, aims to establish a new balance.
3. Reducing strain on the electricity grid: There’s a risk of grid overload when too much electricity is fed back into the network. Hence, it’s crucial to strike a balance between the amount of electricity produced and consumed.
4. Financial resources for other energy-saving initiatives: Post-2025, the phase-out of the net metering scheme will free up tax money, which can be directed toward supporting other energy-saving measures. This includes subsidies for insulation, renovation, and other sustainable initiatives.

The Mono-5 or Stack home battery is connected to your solar panels. When the solar panels generate energy, they look for the most immediately available users for that energy, similar to how water flows to the nearest exit when pressure is applied. In the case of energy, it operates similarly. The generated solar energy is initially used for household appliances like the washing machine, kettle, and lighting. Once your house has enough energy, the home battery is charged. When the battery is also full, any excess energy is then fed back into the electricity grid.

Landport Energy home batteries are designed to use stored energy within a period of 24-48 hours. This means you cannot charge the home battery in the summer and then use that energy in the winter. However, on a sunny winter day, you can generate and store enough energy in your energy storage system to use on a subsequent day with less sunlight.

The best battery for you depends on your energy consumption. The average daily consumption in many households is around 10 kWh. Landport Energy’s home batteries are available in different storage capacities, ranging from 5 kWh (Mono-5) to stackable units (Stack, with a capacity of 5 to 20 kWh per unit and scalable up to a maximum of 60 kWh). For small business and industrial use, we can essentially meet any storage needs.
