The Thompson family lives in a rural area that suffers from frequent power blackouts due to unstable power supplies and an unreliable grid connection. Not only that, but rising electricity rates were becoming a growing concern. “We were fed up with high power bills and needed to make a change,” said Mr. Thompson, The Thompsons recently made that change a reality with an novaess energy storage system, novaess designed a customized total solar PV and battery storage solution for the Thompsons, including a 5 kW novaess Storion-S5 system with a 10 kWh lithium-ion battery. Now, Mr. Thompson’s solar PV system is making a big difference in their electricity bills while also providing backup power whenever the grid fails. “We’re excited! novaess’s freed us from worrying about our electricity use, and the monitoring system helps me see how much I’m saving every day. So far we’ve cut our electricity bills by $700!” said Mr. Thompson.
