PV system a power house

The Vitovolt 300 solar PV system from Viessmann enables homes to generate their own electricity through a modular photovoltaic solution, which includes a package of accessories that fit together seamlessly.

The product can be quickly installed with plug-in electrical connections and fully wired components. Power storage can be added via a BYD Battery Box Premium, with all the power flows of the PV and battery system monitored through Viessmann’s Energy Management System.

The PV package is also suited for use with one of the company’s heat pumps, enabling householders to generate electricity for use both as energy and heat, reducing running costs of the heat pump as well as energy costs for the entire home.

All elements of the system can be controlled via the Viessmann One Base control platform, which, via the Viessmann ViCare app, allows customers to view and optimise the use of their self-generated energy, whether it be for domestic electricity consumption, storage, heat or mobility.

A typical Vitovolt 300 package provides a photovoltaic output of 4kWp, producing around 3800kWh per year, which according to Ofgem is well over the typical annual UK four-person household consumption level of 2900 kWh.

UK director of sales Chris Johnson says: “The Vitovolt 300 offers a great foundation for UK homes to transition to renewable technology for heating. It’s a very attractive option for homeowners looking to reduce their reliance on energy companies while also increasing the sustainability and value of their property.”
