This has quickly become the key issue at COP27

The torrential floodwaters submerged a third of Pakistan. The South Asian country is responsible for less than 1% of the world’s planet-warming emissions, but it is paying a heavy price. And there are many other countries like it around the world.

Pakistan became the clearest example this year of why some countries are fighting for a so-called “loss and damage” fund. The concept is that countries that have contributed the most to climate change with their planet-warming emissions should pay poorer countries to recover from the resulting disasters.

 

United Nations (UN) climate summits are held every year, for governments to agree steps to limit global temperature rises.

COP27 will focus on three main areas:

  • Reducing emissions
  • Helping countries to prepare for and deal with climate change
  • Securing technical support and funding for developing countries for the above

 

Loss and damage 

Loss and damage will be center stage at COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, this year, as low-emitting countries inundated with floods or watching their islands sink into the ocean are demanding that developed, high-emissions countries pay up for this damage.

But it’s been a contentious issue for years, as rich countries like the United States fear that agreeing to a loss and damage fund could open them up to legal liability, and potential future lawsuits.

Some officials from climate-vulnerable nations warned that if countries fail to come to an agreement now, the problem will be much worse later.

4 Benefits of Battey Storage for Your Home

 

Power outages have become more frequent, thanks to an aging electric grid and increases in extreme weather. Power outages can make our homes dark and uncomfortable and cause huge disruptions to our daily life.

 

As a result, many homeowners are seeking solar systems with batteries to keep the lights on. Here are four benefits that batteries can support to help you determine if battery storage may be a wise investment for you.

 

Gain greater energy security

Suppose you live in an area where the grid is a bit unstable, or you want to provide a greater level of certainty for your home’s power. In that case, a battery system might be capable of powering critical parts of your home for a short period of time, even if the grid goes down. And Australia is prone to major fires, floods, and storms. Generating your own electricity could mean less exposure to price hikes and outages caused by natural disasters.

You can find your energy storage solution at ZRGP, including batteries, inverters, integrated energy storage systems, etc.

 

Get more value from your solar panels

With battery storage, you can power your home from the excess electricity that solar panels produce. This way there is no need to draw on energy supplied from the grid when production falls short from your panels. You just use the power stored in your solar batteries.

 

Reduce your electricity bills

One of the best ways to virtually eliminate your electric bills is by installing a solar panel system. If you live in an area with time-of-use rates, the cost of electricity varies throughout the day.

The utility company charges higher prices when power demand is high to encourage residents to curtail use. Having a solar battery allows you to save even more on your utility bills during these times. When electricity rates are highest, you can either use power from your solar panels or batteries, saving money.

 

Gain greater energy independence

As energy prices rise and concerns about decarbonization mount, many families want to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and electric companies.

Although solar panels provide greater energy independence, they don’t generate electricity around the clock. Having battery storage solves this challenge and makes solar energy available 24/7. It can increase your energy independence and renewable energy use while still allowing you to enjoy reliable power.

ZRGP advanced lithium-ion batteries use cutting-edge technology to provide standby power with or without solar panels. They provide electricity during blackouts, at night, or when utility rates are highest, for true energy independence. Battery storage can be installed with new or existing solar systems to help you get the most value from your solar investment.

Can you use Home Battery Storage without solar panels?

Even if you don’t have a solar power system, you may still be able to increase your energy independence — and protect yourself during power outages — with battery storage.

We will explain how that’s possible, looking at the benefits and disadvantages of having a battery without solar panels, and outline how you can add a solar array later.

Does a battery work without solar panels?

A battery can absolutely work without solar panels. You can use a storage battery to store electricity from the grid.

You can use power from the grid when it’s cost-effective but then switch to battery power during times of peak demand when electricity costs more. Over time, this can help reduce energy costs and keep utility expenses as low as possible.

 

What are the benefits of a lone battery?

  • You can avoid the higher costs of electricity during peak times — by charging your storage battery when demand is lower, you can use this electricity in the evening and avoid paying peak demand prices.
  • Reduces strain on the grid — using stored electricity during peak demand not only saves you money but also puts less pressure on the grid, which means fewer power outages for everyone.
  • Increases energy independence — not all homes can have solar panels, but you can still get a storage battery to give you more control over the energy you use.

 

Can you add solar panels to your battery later on?

Yes, you can add solar panels to an existing battery system. It isn’t even that difficult — it’s just a matter of hooking up your new solar panels to the battery.

We recommend using a professional to install and connect your solar panels to your battery system, because of the risk of damage to yourself or the products.

Global Energy Storage Trends

Wood Mackenzie’s latest report shows global energy storage capacity could grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31%, recording 741 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of cumulative capacity by 2030.

Energy storage is still a nascent market, a relatively new investment class with underlying risks. The stakeholders – whether end-consumers or big equity investors – are interested in continuing to invest in the sector and do not appear to be hindered by the pandemic and economic recession impacts.

Supportive policies, ambitious climate commitments, and the growing need for flexible resources are common drivers.

 

Home Energy Storage Trends

The global residential energy storage market is projected to reach USD 17.5 billion by 2024 from an estimated USD 6.3 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 22.88% during the forecast period.This growth can be attributed to factors such as the declining cost of batteries, regulatory support and financial incentives, and the need for energy self-sufficiency from consumers. Residential energy storage systems provide backup power during power outages, and therefore, play a vital role in the energy industry.Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest market from 2019 to 2024. The growth of this region is primarily driven by countries such as China, Australia, and Japan, which are installing storage solutions for residential end-users.

 

Leading LFP Battery

Lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) is poised to overtake lithium-manganese-cobalt-oxide (NMC) as the dominant stationary storage chemistry within the decade, growing from 10% of the market in 2015 to more than 30% in 2030, according to new analysis from Wood Mackenzie.

ZRGP | The 4 Main Types of Inverters

Here, we explain the differences and hopefully help clear up some of the confusing and conflicting terminologies such as multi-mode inverter, inverter-charger, battery inverter and battery-ready inverter. ZRGP Lithium Battery’s household energy storage systems are compatible with 16 world-famous inverter brands. Electricity prices are forecast to increase by 35% according to energy giant Alinta Energy.

 

Grid-tied inverter

Grid-tied inverters are for a grid-tied solar system.

These require an active grid connection to function. If the grid goes down, you will not be able to use any Solar Power produced. Another feature of the Grid-Tied inverter is that you can feed Solar Power back into the grid.

Grid-Tied setups are ideal for homes or businesses that use the majority of their electricity during the day. Supplementing your daily electricity usage with Solar Power will drastically reduce electricity bills.

 

Off-grid inverter

An off-grid inverter is for a stand-alone or off-grid solar system.

Off-grid inverters convert the DC energy from a solar battery or the solar panels into AC energy.

Some off-grid inverters work as inverter/chargers because they also allow you to charge your battery bank from an AC source such as a generator.

These inverters are ideal for game lodges, rural areas, or new homes that are not connected to the grid.

 

Hybrid inverter

Hybrid inverters sometimes referred to as battery-ready inverters, combine a solar and battery inverter together in one simple unit.

Hybrid inverters give you versatility because they can work in both a grid-tied and off-grid system.

Unlike grid-tied inverters, however, hybrids don’t shut down during load shedding or a blackout. Rather, they disconnect from the grid and continue supplying you with power.

They also work as an inverter/charger because they can connect to the grid or a secondary AC source like a generator to charge the battery bank when the sun can’t do the job.

It’s this versatility that makes hybrids your best option if:

You’re trying to beat load shedding or power outages;

You want to sell your excess electricity to the grid;

 

Battery inverter

Battery inverters are the most basic type of inverter used with batteries. They convert DC low-voltage battery power to AC power. These are available in a huge range of sizes, from simple 150W plug-in style inverters used in vehicles, to powerful 10,000W+ inverters used for off-grid power systems. These inverters are typically coupled with MPPT solar charge controllers connected to one or more solar panels.

 

Electricity prices are forecast to increase by 35% according to energy giant Alinta Energy. With the way that things are being forecast right now, it’s going to cost you much more in the long run not to invest in renewables like solar energy, solar batteries, EV chargers, and heat pumps.

We are on a mission to help homeowners move to a fully electric lifestyle for the greater good of the planet. Only we can do this together and move towards a healthier, more sustainable future.

5 Environmentally Friendly Home Features for a Healthy Planet

There are many ways to live a green lifestyle that is good for you and the planet. Some simple upgrades make your home a model for saving energy and protecting the environment. Curious about having an endless supply of clean electricity? Contact ZRGP to get answers to all your energy storage questions.

Eco-friendly, energy-saving home features aren’t just good for the environment—they’re also good for your wallet. Here are five popular home features that can lower your bills, reduce energy waste, and make your home more desirable to future buyers.

 

#Opt for Energy Efficient Appliances

According to the Energy Information Agency’s 2015 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, refrigerators alone account for 7% of end users in a home. Using ENERGY STAR appliances is an easy way to cut electric use. There are all sorts of appliances that have been awarded the EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification from TVs to freezers.

These appliances require less energy to operate and therefore save you money on utility bills.

 

#Smart Heating and Cooling

Air conditioning accounts for 17% of electricity end use and space heating accounts for another 15%.

Unfortunately, a significant portion of that energy use could be wasted. Inadequate insulation, leaky ductwork, air leaks, and windows can all influence the efficiency of heating and cooling a home. To prevent wasting energy, make sure you have enough insulation in the attic. Next, weatherize around the doors and windows to plug up any air leaks. Finally, consider adding a tint to the windows to reflect UV rays and reduce heat transfer.

 

#LED and CFL Bulbs

One of the first things every homeowner should do is replace inefficient incandescent light bulbs with LED or CFL bulbs. This is an improvement that really does pay for itself. LED lightbulbs use up to 90% less energy than traditional bulbs, and they also last up to 25 times longer. Consider replacing your indoor and outdoor lights with LED bulbs whenever possible.

 

#Solar Panels

The installation isn’t cheap, but rooftop solar panels can generate a large amount of energy—and potentially a good amount of savings over the long run, too. In addition to gaining your own renewable energy source, you may also be eligible for a residential federal tax credit, property tax exemption, or another government incentive when you install solar panels.

 

#Electric Car With Charging Port

For most people, their car is an extension of their home. And if you have an electric car your home is also your fueling station. Charging an electric car at home will increase the amount of electricity that’s used, but overall it’s good for the planet. An electric car uses less energy than an air conditioner, and it doesn’t emit carbon monoxide like a gas-powered vehicle. If you get your electricity from solar panels, then it’s the greenest way to get around.
