New LG Solution Raises Bar for Residential Energy Storage Systems
ANAHEIM, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 20, 2022 / Global innovator LG Electronics has introduced the 'Home 8' residential energy storage system (ESS), a new next-generation, all-in-one solution that will enable American homeowners to manage energy, provide backup power and reduce dependence on the electric grid. The LG Home 8 ESS was unveiled at the 2022 RE+ (formerly SPI) trade show here this week, where LG Electronics USA also is demonstrating the LG commercial ESS for the U.S. market.
The LG Home 8 energy storage system combines an advanced inverter and battery in a single unit that is floor standing, and wall supported to provide an organized, streamlined installation. Its 7.5kW inverter/charger provides a total capacity of 14.4kWh of usable on-demand energy and is stackable up to 4 units, which in combination allows up to 57.6kWh of usable energy.
Customers who do not have a solar PV system and have a Time of Use plan can still use Home 8. The energy storage system can be used independently from the grid and can charge during the daytime when electricity prices are lower. Home 8 can then be utilized during peak consumption hours when prices increase. In preparation for potential natural disasters and power outages, Home 8 can store energy in advance for later use. The LED display on the front of the system allows owners to check the estimated battery state of charge (SoC) and encourages mindfulness of electricity use during power outages.
The LG Home 8 is an integrated system that can be incorporated into a complete smart home environment with LG home appliances, consumer electronics, and HVAC systems, all while maintaining compatibility with non-LG products. When Home 8 is managed by LG's ThinQ monitoring and control app, homeowners can delegate how, where, and when the unit is used to maximize efficiency, giving homeowners the ability to achieve pure independence from the grid, and providing them with better control in managing their home energy needs.
