Market Requirements

Rising demand for backup systems in the single-family home segment

Homeowners and project planners face the challenge of reliably protecting single-family homes from power outages – without compromises on safety, lifespan, or system integration. The market requires plannable, professional solutions.

⚡

More frequent & longer power outages

Extreme weather, grid overload, and infrastructural bottlenecks noticeably increase the frequency and duration of power outages in residential areas.

🏠

Protect critical loads

Heating, cooling, security systems, and home office must continue to run uninterrupted even during power outages – without manual intervention.

☀️

Enhance PV system effectively

Existing solar installations become a true all-around supply with a battery storage system – self-consumption optimization and emergency reserve in one system.

📦

Easy installation & maintenance

Installers need systems that are easy to integrate, allow standardized project configurations, and require little maintenance.

Application areas

Typical project situations in single-family homes

LiPower backup systems cover all typical installation situations in the single-family home segment.

New Single-Family Home

New construction with energy planning

Early integration of storage and backup into building technology – for maximum efficiency and low follow-up costs.

PV Retrofit

Retrofitting existing PV system

Adding a battery storage with backup function to an existing solar system – on the AC or DC side.

Standalone Backup

Standalone backup without PV

Pure emergency system for securing critical loads – independent of a solar system, charged from the grid.

Project Business Installer

Series projects for installers

Standardized configurations for installation companies equipping multiple single-family homes with identical systems.

Application scenarios

How backup systems are used in single-family homes

Three typical application scenarios from practice.

Full Supply for Single-Family Home
Scenario 01

Full supply during multi-hour outages

A 10–16 kWh system supplies all essential loads of a single-family home overnight and until the next sunny day.

  • Heating pump & thermostat control
  • Refrigerator, freezer, kitchen appliances
  • Lighting throughout the house
  • Router, TV, computer, telephone
  • Alarm system & door camera
Solar PV Backup Integration
Scenario 02

PV storage with automatic backup activation

The storage charges during the day with solar power and switches to island operation automatically during a grid outage – with no interruption.

  • Self-consumption optimization during the day
  • Automatic UPS switching < 30 ms
  • Recharge via PV during sunlight hours
  • Savings on grid electricity costs
Basic Backup for Critical Loads
Scenario 03

Targeted protection of critical loads

For households with specific requirements: secure medical devices, home office, security systems, or frozen food.

  • CPAP/BIPAP & medical devices
  • NAS server & home office equipment
  • Freezers with sensitive contents
  • Security systems & access control
System Architecture

Typical system architecture for single-family homes

LiPower systems integrate seamlessly with home technology – whether new construction or retrofit, with or without PV system.

Grid monitoring – Continuous monitoring of grid voltage, automatic switching in case of failure.
Selective load distribution – Critical loads are prioritized, non-critical loads are disconnected as needed.
PV recharging – When the sun is shining, the PV system continues to charge the storage even during an outage.
Modular expansion – Capacity can be expanded later without replacing the entire system.
App monitoring – Real-time monitoring of charge level, consumption, and system status via app.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about backup systems for single-family homes.

For basic supply (lighting, router, cooling) 5 kWh is sufficient. For comfortable full supply including heating pump and washing machine, we recommend 10–16 kWh. With daily PV recharging, 5–10 kWh is often enough.

LiPower all-in-one systems with UPS function switch in under 30 ms – fast enough that computers, NAS servers, and smart home systems continue running without restarting.

Yes. LiPower wall storage and all-in-one systems are compatible with common hybrid inverters such as SMA, Fronius, Growatt, or Sungrow – both on the AC and DC side depending on system configuration.

With a continuous load of 500–800 W (cooling, lighting, router, heating pump), a 10 kWh battery lasts 12–20 hours. With a solar system, it gets recharged during the day, significantly extending supply.

Yes, stationary wall storage and all-in-one systems must be installed by a qualified electrical specialist. LiPower supports installation partners with complete technical documentation.

For single-family homes, we recommend the BT51100 (5 kWh), BT512200 (10 kWh), or the all-in-one PH15000 (5 kW / 16 kWh) with integrated inverter and UPS function. The choice depends on consumption, PV system, and budget.

Yes. LiPower offers complete OEM/ODM services including enclosure, firmware, branding, and packaging – ideal for installation companies and brands looking to build their own product lines.
