ZEN Energy Systems introduce the Freedom Power Bank storage system

ZEN Home EnergySystems is not only one of the largest dedicated solar energy companies operating in Australia but also the nation’s first fully branded and integrated solar grid connect energy system provider.

The award winning company supports a network of two hundred and fifty green and ecofriendly franchises, allowing owners to become a part of the leading Home Energy Systems in Australia.

The ZEN Freedom Power Bank storage system from ZEN Home Energy Systems stores energy generated by solar or wind power and also has the ability to capture off-peak power for later use.

The system features high density storage Lithium Ion Batteries that are linked to “active” battery balancing and control software and allows both ‘on-grid’ and ‘off-grid’ management options.

While the electronic software was designed with the help of US-based Greensmith Energy Management Systems units will be assembled in Australia for supply to the national market and international export. The benefits provided by the The ZEN Freedom Power Bank storage system are significant. The ZEN Freedom Power Bank provides an efficient and affordable solution to storing power generated from renewable sources, as well as at off peak prices for use later.

Both the base residential and business system have a daily storage capacity of up to 20kW hours of energy, which is equal to the average daily consumption of an Australian home, while additional energy storage models can be easily installed to properties where this volume is exceeded. Possible future features will of the storage system could include an electric vehicle charge station offering householders the facility to power to supply both their car and home. As a result properties will therefore become less reliant on the national grid and will also have a reserve of electricity if the grid was to go down.

Richard Turner, CEO of ZEN Energy Systems explained that ZEN would help to “optimise current infrastructure rather than continually upgrading or building new equipment to meet the ever increasing peak demand,” and nergy storage could potentially solve energy generation intermittency issues experienced by wind and solar farms.

Prototypes are currently undertaking testing and ZEN expects the Residential and Business systems to enter the market in July 2012 and the Utility Scale format in October.
