Is the Volta Stage 1 Suitable for Load Shedding?

Yes. The Volta Stage 1 can form part of a suitable solar and inverter system designed to provide backup power during electricity interruptions.

The amount of backup available depends on the appliances being powered, inverter capacity, battery settings and the amount of energy available in the battery.

For example, a system powering only essential loads such as lights, Wi-Fi, television, refrigeration and selected appliances will generally use battery energy differently from a system attempting to power an entire home.

For an accurate backup calculation, your installer should assess your actual electrical load.

Volta Stage 1 for Solar Energy Storage

The Volta Stage 1 can be used to store excess energy generated by a compatible solar PV system. Instead of allowing surplus solar generation to go unused, the energy can be stored in the battery and used later.

This can help households increase solar self-consumption and reduce their reliance on grid electricity, depending on the design and operating settings of the complete solar installation.
