With the rapid growth of distributed solar and the rising demand for energy independence, home energy storage systems are becoming an essential part of modern households. To achieve safe, efficient, and cost-effective operation, system design must balance power demand, product performance, and application scenarios. This guide from Yohoo Elec explores capacity planning, power matching, and configuration strategies to help users make informed decisions.
Battery capacity determines how much energy can be stored and how long the system can supply power.
Nominal Capacity – The total energy a battery can deliver under standard test conditions (e.g., 25°C, 0.5C discharge rate).
Usable Capacity – The actual available energy, often lower than the nominal value due to discharge depth (DOD) limits. A common setting is 80% DOD.
DOD represents the percentage of energy discharged relative to nominal capacity. Deeper discharges generally shorten battery lifespan.
For lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, around 6,000 cycles can be achieved at 80% DOD.
At 100% DOD, cycle life may drop to ~3,000 cycles.
For most households, setting DOD between 80–90% strikes the best balance between usable capacity and long-term durability.
The C-rate indicates how quickly a battery can be charged or discharged:
1C = fully charged/discharged in 1 hour
0.5C = fully charged/discharged in 2 hours
The C-rate should match the inverter’s output to prevent system overload or efficiency loss.
SOC shows the current charge level as a percentage of total capacity, helping track available energy.
SOH reflects battery performance degradation over time. When SOH drops to around 60–70%, replacement may be necessary depending on usage needs.
Rated Power – The continuous power output that can support daily household loads.
Peak Power – The maximum short-term power the system can deliver to start appliances like air conditioners or refrigerators.
Scenario: Ample daytime generation, higher evening demand, no significant electricity price difference.
Recommendation: Battery capacity sized at 1:1 to 1:2 with the solar PV system; inverter supports grid-tied discharge.
Scenario: Frequent blackouts or unstable grids.
Recommendation: Battery capacity sized to support critical loads; system must provide seamless on-grid/off-grid switching.
Scenario: Significant electricity price gaps; users want to charge off-peak and discharge during peak hours.
Recommendation: Capacity sized to cover off-peak charging demand; system requires scheduling and EMS control; prioritize high-cycle-life cells and advanced BMS.
Scenario: Household wants solar self-use, backup power, and EV charging.
Recommendation: Capacity planned for night use + backup + EV charging; system supports high startup loads, remote monitoring, and future expansion.
Support for parallel expansion with unified BMS control.
Hot-swappable modules and remote firmware upgrades.
Compliance with major communication protocols (Modbus, CAN, RS485).
Integration with solar inverters, home energy management systems, and smart platforms.
Designed for local environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dust, waterproofing).
Certified to international safety standards such as IEC62619 and UN38.3 for reliable long-term operation.
A home energy storage system should be customized based on household energy habits, regional conditions, and future demand. With proper capacity and power matching, Yohoo Elec storage solutions can improve system efficiency, enhance energy security, and deliver long-term economic benefits. As technology advances, optimized storage system design will continue to empower smart home energy management and accelerate the transition toward a greener, low-carbon future.
