Storing energy in water to lower energy bills and help balance the electricity grid.
The GridTap system heats water in boilers using energy directly from your solar panels and from the grid during low energy prices through our GridTap platform®.
The GridTap system makes optimal use of local solar energy. Improving the business case for solar systems.
Through our energy efficient system and GridTap platform®, we anticipate market prices and lower energy bills.
Creating additional income by helping to stabilize the energy grid with your GridTap system just like a regular battery.
Batteries to store locally produced energy are gaining increasing traction among residential and business owners of solar systems. Lithium-ion batteries are often not a year-round solution to lower energy costs due to significant conversion & efficiency losses and high investment costs. Specifically during winter, evenings and cloudy periods when little solar energy is available and dependency on energy from the grid is high.
GridTap stores (local solar) energy in tap water with yearly efficiencies up to 400% compared to lithium-ion batteries, reducing both costs and risks. Based on your daily needs, we ensure that heated tap water is always available at the lowest price possible. We meet local needs by creating a water heating scheme based on available solar energy, market prices and local grid incentives.
Yes! A small boiler of 150 litres at 60°C contains already over 10kWh of energy, which is more than an average lithium-ion residential battery. The GridTap boiler system combines proven and inhouse developed technologies and can therefore deliver hot water with high efficiency during all seasons, making it the ideal battery for homes and businesses.
(i) Did you know that a heat pump boiler connectect to the GridTap platform® has a pay-back period less than 5 years on average?
