In the previous video, we explained how even regular consumers can earn cash rewards by supporting grid stability thanks to FUERGY solutions. In the final part of our educational series, we’ll take a look at how the combination of solar panels and battery storage can actively reduce the carbon footprint of your energy consumption.
At first sight, all electricity may seem the same. However, from the perspective of carbon footprint, that’s far from true. The amount of emissions produced in generating one kilowatt-hour of electricity depends on the energy mix – the share of different types of sources used in electricity production.
Slovakia: A Relatively Clean Energy Mix
Slovakia’s energy mix is among the cleaner blends in Europe. More than 60% of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power plants and nearly 15% from hydropower – both emission-free sources. As a result, the average carbon footprint is just 0.12 kg CO₂e per kWh.
Where’s the Problem?
Even though electricity production in Slovakia is relatively clean, the power grid frequently experiences electricity surpluses or shortages. These imbalances are addressed using so-called ancillary services, which rely on an energy mix with a significantly higher carbon footprint – up to 0.5 kg CO₂e per kWh. The reason is simple: fossil fuels are reliable and flexible when a quick increase or decrease in electricity supply is needed.
How Can the Combination of a Battery and Solar Panels Help?
When you install a solar panel system, electricity consumption from the grid (with emissions of 0.12 kg CO₂e/kWh) is replaced with your own emission-free energy. When you also install a smart battery storage system brAIn, or use the Technology Regulation brAIn solution, you can even replace the fossil fuel sources used to stabilize the grid – which has a significantly greater positive impact on emissions and energy efficiency.
Benefits of the Solution brAIn + Solar Panels:
- Efficient storage of excess solar energy
- Support for grid stabilization
- Rewards for flexibility
- Noticeable reduction of carbon footprint
Why is It Important?
If we want to transition to sustainable energy, we need solutions that are not only green, but also economically affordable. FUERGY technologies offer exactly that combination: emission reduction, cost savings, and extra income for supporting the grid.
Invest in Green Technology That Pays Off
An investment in solar panels combined with a smart battery storage brAIn pays for itself quickly and delivers long-term benefits. You’ll not only reduce your dependence on electricity prices, but also actively contribute to the protection of our climate.
