I. Background of Photovoltaic Energy Storage for Civilian Consumption
   Civil consumer energy storage, as a technology that stores electrical energy for household or personal use, is gradually coming into the public eye and playing an increasingly important role in the global energy transition wave.

Current market situation
▲ From a global market perspective, civilian consumer energy storage is showing a vigorous development trend. Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia are the world's largest household energy storage markets. In 2022, their combined installed capacity accounted for approximately 60%. Among them, the new installed capacity of household energy storage in Europe in 2022 was 5.68gwh, accounting for as high as 36.4% of the global market. This is mainly attributed to the relatively high electricity price level in the local area, policy support for the utilization of renewable energy, and residents' pursuit of energy autonomy and stability. Significant advantages
▲ Save on electricity bills: Charging the energy storage battery pack during off-peak hours and using it during peak or flat hours to meet daily needs can reduce electricity bills by half or even more, helping household users save a considerable amount of money.
▲ Energy self-sufficiency: By integrating renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic panels, home energy storage systems can store excess electricity for use at night or on rainy days, increasing the energy self-sufficiency rate and reducing reliance on traditional power grids.
▲ Emergency backup: In the event of power failures or natural disasters, the household storage system can serve as a backup power source to ensure the normal operation of key household appliances such as refrigerators and lighting equipment, and to guarantee that the basic life of the family is not affected.
▲ Stabilizing the power grid: Household energy storage systems can store electricity when the grid load is low and release it during peak demand periods, which helps balance the grid load, enhance the overall reliability of power supply, and alleviate the pressure on the power grid.

▲ Technological innovation: Battery technology is constantly advancing. In the future, the energy density of lithium batteries will further increase, costs will continue to decrease, and safety will also be better guaranteed. Meanwhile, the intelligent management system will be more complete. Users can monitor and manage energy storage devices more conveniently through mobile phone apps and other means.

   New energy lithium batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life and environmental friendliness, have gradually become the preferred solution for civil consumer energy storage systems. This solution is designed to meet the application requirements of lithium batteries in civil consumer energy storage system equipment projects, ensuring that lithium batteries can provide safe, efficient and customized power solutions for their equipment in special fields.
