Cegasa – 200 kWh system in a private house within a community with limited access to the grid (Australia)

This case study describes the May 2020 installation of a high-capacity energy storage system in a private residence in Eagle Bay, Western Australia, designed to provide off-grid reliability in an area with an unstable power grid.

• A residential project in Eagle Bay, WA, was deployed in May 2020 to address a "very unstable grid" characterized by frequent annual blackouts. The system is designed to function primarily as an off-grid solution using solar PV and battery backup while maintaining a grid connection to support high-power applications and constant power peaks.
• The technical configuration of the system consists of 40 kWp of PV REC Alpha All Black series solar panels and a 207 kWh CEGASA battery bank. The system is managed by three Selectronic SP PRO Series 2i SPLC1202 units operating at 120V, with a battery setup of 144Vdc.
• This installation represents the first project in Australia to integrate Selectronic and Cegasa products in a fully-managed setting. Due to its status as a first-of-its-kind project, it is subject to remote monitoring and support from both the Selectronic and Cegasa teams.
