How to Size a Home Battery: kWh, Loads, and Backup Days Explained
A practical guide to sizing a residential battery — daily consumption, backup days, depth of discharge, and how the four capacities in the Senneon Storage Wall series map to real household needs.
Read the guide →Installing a home battery: site requirements, electrical prep, and what to expect on installation day
A practical guide to what happens before, during and after a home battery installation — site selection, wall and floor requirements, electrical prerequisites, inverter placement, commissioning, and post-install monitoring. Written for homeowners and the installers who serve them.
Read the guide →Inverter compatibility: questions every solar installer should ask before choosing a LiFePO4 storage supplier
For a solar installer, battery-inverter compatibility is the single biggest technical risk in specifying home storage. This guide covers the five questions to ask any LiFePO4 supplier — communication protocols, verified compatibility lists, firmware stability, and what happens when a pairing isn't tested yet.
Read the guide →How to evaluate a home battery supplier: a practical framework for solar installers
Choosing the wrong battery partner costs more than margin — it costs your reputation with the end customer. A six-part framework for installers evaluating LiFePO4 storage suppliers: partner terms, territory, technical support, documentation, warranty, and protecting the installer's customer relationship.
Read the guide →PERC vs TOPCon vs bifacial — how to choose solar panels for your home
An engineer's guide to the three panel technologies that matter for a home: mono PERC, N-type TOPCon and bifacial. What each does well, which roof and budget suits which, and where flexible, foldable and snow-melting panels fit in — with a shortcut to a sized design.
Read the guide →How much can home battery storage save on your electricity bill?
An honest engineering look at where home-battery savings actually come from — self-consumption, time-of-use arbitrage, feed-in avoidance, backup value and incentives — and the four factors that decide your payback. No promised numbers: a method you can apply to your own tariff, plus a worked European example built on ranges, not guarantees.
Read the guide →Off-grid, hybrid or backup — which home energy system is right for you?
Before you compare batteries and inverters, decide what the system is actually for. This guide defines the off-grid, hybrid and backup scenarios, shows who each is for, and walks through the equipment, cost and complexity differences from a European starting point.
Read the guide →How much home battery storage do you actually need?
A practical engineering guide to sizing home battery storage: how to estimate your daily kWh, decide how long you want to run on stored energy, and match capacity to your off-grid, hybrid or backup goal — with a worked German-household example.
Read the guide →Shipping Lithium Home Batteries in 2026: UN38.3, MSDS and DG Sea Freight Explained
A practical compliance guide for importers and distributors: which documents you need to ship wall-mounted LiFePO4 home batteries by sea, what changed for air freight in January 2026, and how to avoid misdeclaration fines.
Read the guide →LiFePO4 battery cycle life: what 6000 cycles actually means for your home
Manufacturers quote cycle-life figures like 6000 — but what does that number actually mean in years of service, and what conditions does it depend on? An engineer's guide to depth of discharge, temperature, calendar ageing, and how to compare cycle-life claims without getting misled.
