Amidst the surging waves of technology, titans of artificial intelligence have emerged, leading the imagination toward future living with their unparalleled intelligence. However, as these technological giants continuously push the boundaries of human intellect, the issue of their massive energy consumption has surfaced and gained widespread attention. OpenAI's popular generative AI - ChatGPT - alone is estimated to consume over half a million kilowatt-hours daily in order for it to respond to about 200 million user requests daily, reports The New Yorker. This exceeds the average daily energy usage of a US household by more than 17 thousand times.
Faced with this challenge, how can we promote progress in artificial intelligence while achieving sustainable energy development and reducing consumption? The answer may well lie in that ancient yet emerging source of energy - solar power. This clean, renewable form of energy not only holds immense potential for development but also complements the evolution of artificial intelligence.
In the fight to tackle energy challenges, photovoltaic (PV) storage systems have undoubtedly become a crucial component. Especially when faced with complex application scenarios where net metering is not available, self-generated electricity is more expensive than grid electricity, and peak electricity prices are higher than off-peak prices, hybrid PV and storage solutions emerge as a necessary answer.
Leveraging its robust technological foundations, Hinen has introduced the residential energy storage system Pro15, designed specifically for home scenarios. Its intelligent and flexible features offer a new solution for family energy management.
During the day, sunlight is efficiently converted into electrical energy, catering to the household's 24-hour clean energy needs. This all-in-one module Pro15 enables a "self-consumption" mode, allowing families to achieve a "zero" electricity bill lifestyle. Additionally, its uninterrupted power supply function ensures the continuous operation of critical loads during power outages or instability. The Pro 15 supports up to two 7.77kWh batteries and expands its storage capacity to a maximum of 31.08kWh through advanced parallel battery pack technology, providing a robust power backup for families. Moreover, with its powerful off-grid output capacity, the Pro 15's 15KW off-grid output and 230V/63A of power are sufficient to meet various household demands.
In terms of electricity cost management, the Pro15 system also leverages the difference in peak and off-peak electricity prices for "peak shaving and valley filling" intelligent management. During low-price periods, the system charges its batteries, and during peak times, it discharges, helping families earn a price differential and achieve a win-win for economic and environmental benefits.
Hinen's residential PV storage solution is also ingeniously designed in terms of structure. It is tailored for residential spaces with a sleek appearance, excellent silent performance, and superior IP65-level waterproof and dustproof capabilities, seamlessly integrating into home environments. Furthermore, its integrated design simplifies installation, enabling plug-and-play without the need for on-site adjustments, significantly saving on installation time and costs. The fanless design reduces a significant amount of maintenance needed over time. In addition, once connected to Hinen's smart APP, users can access real-time information on power generation, consumption, and storage, allowing for remote monitoring and intelligent control.
Compared to traditional grid-tied systems, residential storage systems may come with slightly higher costs and more complexity, but they offer wider applications and more powerful functions. The solar plus storage model not only capitalizes on solar energy in a green and low-carbon manner but also, as the cost of storage systems continues to fall, the economic feasibility of replacing traditional power generation technologies with solar-storage systems is becoming increasingly apparent.
Residential energy storage is opening a new chapter in household energy management, bringing new opportunities to the development of photovoltaics. In the field of new energy, Hinen, with its technological innovation and quality service, is continually enhancing product performance, promoting the widespread adoption of green lifestyles, and ensuring that green energy benefits every family, safeguarding our beautiful lives.
