Hybrid Solar + Storage Project in the Netherlands with Deye & SolarEdge Inverters & Voltsmile V10 RPC Battery

Project Overview

Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands
Completion Date: May 2025
Key Objectives:

  • Maximize solar self-consumption
  • Reduce grid dependency & peak demand charges
  • Ensure energy resilience during outages

System Configuration

Component Specification
Solar Inverter SolarEdge 17kW (Optimized for shaded environments)
Hybrid Inverter Deye 10kW Hybrid Inverter (AC Coupling for flexible energy management)
Battery Storage 30kWh Voltsmile V10 RPC (LiFePO₄, 6000+ cycles, liquid-cooled)

Technical Highlights

1. Seamless AC Coupling Between Deye & SolarEdge

  • Dynamic Power Balancing: The Deye hybrid inverter intelligently manages excess solar generation from the SolarEdge system, storing it in the Voltsmile battery instead of exporting to the grid.
  • Grid Independence: In a power outage, the Deye inverter switches to island mode within 20ms, ensuring uninterrupted power for critical loads.

2. High-Efficiency Voltsmile V10 RPC Battery

  • Long Lifespan: 30 kWh capacity with >80% retention after 10 years, ideal for daily cycling.
  • Thermal Management: Liquid cooling ensures stable performance in Dutch winters (as low as -10°C) and summers (up to 45°C).

3. Compliance with Dutch Energy Regulations

  • NEN 7120 & Dynamic Net Metering: The system fully complies with Dutch grid standards, allowing for optimal financial returns under the Netherlands’ net metering policy.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Voltsmile’s cloud-based platform provides live energy analytics, helping the client track savings and carbon reduction.

Performance Results

Metric Result Benefit
Solar Self-Consumption Rate 92% (vs. 30-50% in standard PV systems) 40% lower electricity bills
Peak Grid Demand Reduction 78% decrease Avoids costly capacity tariffs
ROI Period 4.2 years (vs. Dutch market avg. of 5.5 years) Faster payback
