THIS Home Battery is the Key To Cheaper, Cleaner Energy!

What happens if you generate more renewable energy than you use? And if you don't have solar panels, how can you make the most of clean energy from the grid? Eco-smart technology company MyEnergi thinks that their newest product, Libbi may well be the answer. The Libbi Home Energy Battery offers up to 20 Kwh of storage and intelligently manages energy usage to maximise the amount of clean energy a household can use. When teamed with solar panels and MyEnergi's existing products - the Eddi, Harvi and EV Charger Zappi, the lineup can form a perfect and clever ecosystem that paves the way to energy independence. Beyond individual households, this exciting alternative to a Tesla Powerwall, is leading the charge towards creating the biggest virtual power plant that would enable even more households to get the benefit of a better balanced and cleaner grid. Robert went up to MyEnergi HQ in the glamorous Grimsby to find out more.

    This is where the gov needs to be investing our money.
  • This made my heart sing... This should be on the national news and be shouted from the rooftops, UK inovation for all.
  • Without a price it's hard to know whether it really is cheaper energy (or cheaper than the power wall)
  • If you hadn't made this video I'd have never have known this was in Grimsby, great for the area, this part of England really needs these types of jobs.
  • Everytime Robert features MyEnergi I get a good feeling about the company. More power to their collective elbow.
  • @scarter9447
    Myenergy in Grimsby is the most positive bright kind of smart future were going toward. Well done.
  • I live 16 miles south of Grimsby, and never even knew this firm existed. I go to Grimsby weekly too.
  • I have a 5.5kW solar PV system and a Tesla Powerwall battery. In my opinion, you need at least 10kWh battery storage capacity to make powering the house almost all year round viable. I get about 93% annual self sufficiency, with a further 2200kWh going to the grid (which I earn around £700 for on the Octopus Agile Outgoing tarrif). I also heat my domestic hot water for 8 months of the year by turning off the HW side of my gas boiler. The ideal would be an electric car with V2P, to be charged on the surplus solar PV energy. Don'y forget, even the best EV's only manage abour 4 miles per kWh, so a 5 kWh storage battery would power the car for 20 miles tops! Charging a car using a cheap overnight tarrif or during the day using spare solar energy makes the most sense. Designing software to make the 3 power sources (solar PV, storage battery, EV battery) talk to eack other is a big step forward.

    Got a Zappi and Eddi being installed soon - in no small part thanks to Fully Charged’s coverage. It’s great to support a young British company with big ideas.
  • Would really appreciate a video on comparing inverters and battery options for various size solar arrays. It's a mine field out there with so many options it's hard to know what to choose
  • @gee3883
    Great to see a UK company creating this, lets just hope the cost makes it a huge success.
  • Great to see the implementation of the intelligent grid. This is the kind of innovation we need and hopefully this becomes a succes soon.
  • Such a clear system. I can't wait to have this ecosystem installed on my house!
  • @TrainString
    No bi-directional power from your EV available? That's a deal breaker for me. I have an 80 kWh battery on wheels sitting in my driveway that would make so much sense to power my home when i don't need to go drive anywhere far today.
  • @roi354
    I love the sound of most of this, apart from one element... The point of a battery is to offset the cost of electricity (aside from the environmental reasons of course). If I've paid for a product to store renewable energy, that I've generated from solar panels I've also paid for, I'll be incredibly annoyed if someone via the internet begins using that energy to support a grid that is charging such a huge amount of money for the same energy out of nothing more than pure greed. If I've paid to generate it and I've paid to store it, I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone else decide to give it away to 'help' a multi-billion pound company avoid sorting out their shortfalls. If they're happy to buy it from me at the same price they're selling it, I'm 100% in 👍
  • @Marker-er3ro
    I don’t have one, but a PowerWall can also feedback into the grid, Tesla has VPP or virtual power plant that has similar logic and capabilities.
  • Recently, I had both a Zappi and Harvi installed, and I can honestly say they allow me to do everything I'd dreamt of being able to do (e.g. charge my car completely of solar if I want to), and more besides. Great to see the company and people behind such a well-designed and easy-to-use product. Can't wait to see if/when the Libbi comes to Australia - will definitely consider getting it if so.
  • @ScubaAnt72
    I'm an engineer and I'm really impressed by the MyEnergi products. I'm yet to use them but will be putting them in our new home. I particularly liked the fact that the Zappi charger monitors your grid connection (amps on each phase) and will reduce the car charging to ensure that your grid connection supply rating is not exceeded. Also, fully integrated 'out of the box' saves soo much hassle (and potential disappointment). when trying to integrate products from different manufacturers.
  • @PetrusB83
    If I get a battery this is the one I will get. Will perfectly integrate with my existing MyEnergi system. Just a pity the installers in Germany are so lacking.
  • Want! Thanks Robert and team for keeping up the great work highlighting the Green tech we all love!
