Tigo Energy has unveiled a new energy storage system for the European residential market, the GO Battery.
According to the firm, the GO Battery is designed to store electricity generated from residential solar installations, enabling households to use that energy at times of their choosing. It joins an existing portfolio of products, including the GO EV Charger and GO Junction for heat pump integration.
Household energy use
“Across Europe, homeowners are looking for more control over how they produce and use energy,” commented Mirko Bindi, senior vice president sales EMEA and managing director Europe at Tigo.
“With the GO Battery, they can store the solar power they generate and use it when needed, while benefiting from seamless integration with the Tigo EI ecosystem as we continue to expand its capabilities towards smarter grid interaction. This helps households to reduce reliance on the grid and manage energy more effectively over time.”
Modular structure
The GO Battery features a modular structure composed of 3.68 kilowatt-hour units, which installers can configure from 7.3kWh (for compact installations) to up to 47.9kWh (for larger households).
Each battery module weighs 34 kilograms, supporting space-constrained installations, and can operate in temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees celsius. It supports both single-phase and three-phase electrical systems, and is compatible with all Tigo inverters sold in the European market.
“The GO Battery was developed in close collaboration with installers, featuring a modular architecture that helps simplify system design and installation, while aiming to deliver the flexibility and reliability required across a wide range of residential applications,” Bindi added. Read more here.
