Huawei FusionHome combines smart PV hardware and intelligent monitoring software with connected technologies for the residential sector, enabling customers to effectively manage their power consumption and maximise energy yields, delivering smarter energy.
“Huawei FusionHome Smart Energy Solution aims to refine smart energy management, providing an easy-to-distribute, easy-to-install and easy-to-use solution that maximises the return on investment of installing solar PV at home” said Steven Zhoutao, General Manager for Huawei’s Smart PV Business Residential Solution, speaking at the launch.
The new smart energy solution is suitable for all rooftop layouts and has the flexibility to meet the range of customer requirements across the residential market. The solution’s Smart PV Optimisers can maximise space utilisation on the most complex of rooftops, enabling modules to be installed in shade-prone areas, in various directions, and the use of different module types within one string, resulting in increased energy yields ranging from 5-30 percent. The use of more silicon and less copper and Huawei-patented 5-level topology increases inverter efficiency up to 98.6 percent, setting a new industry benchmark. More precise power conversion and control technology, such as the intelligent multiple-level topology, makes the AC output waves smoother and significantly increases the output and efficiency of users’ home energy systems.
Huawei’s FusionHome Smart Energy Centre, situated inside the home, is capable of communicating with intelligent home appliances, controlling information and energy flows to maximise the amount of solar power used. The integrated, plug & play, DC-coupling, energy storage interface allows for easy access and the flexibility to add batteries anytime, removing the need for users to invest in energy storage systems from the outset while costs remain high.
Users can conveniently monitor their systems on a PC or smartphone in real time. The Smart Power Sensor shows the available power at any given time and how best to use it, factoring in weather conditions and electricity pricing. When lower cost electricity is available on the market, the solution can switch grids automatically, using this time to recharge storage batteries, thereby minimising energy costs.
Huawei’s FusionHome Smart Energy Solution has been designed to simplify the user experience, with a one-tap start-up feature that improves start-up efficiency by more than 50 percent. Remote software upgrades, replacement services, remote and visualised module-level management, including I-V diagnosis can all be performed with just one press of a button. This enables 17 types of PV module faults to be detected remotely, removing the need for on-site inspections, significantly reducing O&M costs.
