SENEC V2 and V3 FAQs - General
SENEC is a battery system that allows you to store excess solar energy during the day and use it at night. The battery contains a built-in hybrid inverter, which is capable of managing the electricity output of solar panels and charging a battery system at the same time.
Thanks to the built-in hybrid inverter, you don’t need to purchase a separate solar inverter to operate your panels, reducing costs and installation time.
The SENEC V3 can provide seamless, reliable power to your home during the evening, or at times when your energy usage cannot be supported by solar alone.
Lithium ion batteries (lithium-manganese-cobalt-oxide) and a battery inverter.
SENEC’s are designed, manufactured and assembled in Germany.
Your savings and payback period will depend on a number of factors including your location and electricity rate. For more specific details, get solar quotes and talk to an installer!
SENEC is at the forefront of energy innovation with their lithium-ion technology. Their batteries are designed for a 100% DoD and capable of cycling twice a day, allowing users to maximise their self-consumption and increase grid independence.
The battery also contains a built-in hybrid inverter, meaning you don’t need to purchase a separate inverter unit. A hybrid inverter can also allow households on single phase power homes to increase their system size due to the DC coupling.
SENEC V2 and V3 FAQs - Usage
Yes! SENEC is ideal for storing surplus solar energy to use at a later time.
The SENEC.Home is an AC-coupled system, which means the SENEC battery needs to be connected to the house installation/grid to work and fulfil its normal functionality. However with the (V2) Emergency Backup solution (V3) Backup pro can still use your battery energy through a dedicated circuit. However, additional components and costs will apply.
While SENEC permits this, it will depend on whether your local electricity retailer allows you to export stored energy back to the grid.
The SENEC V2 comes with a 10 year warranty.
Yes, the SENEC.Home is a modular system which means you can use up to 4 battery modules in one case. Each module has 2.5kWh capacity. If the 10kWh (4 assembled batteries modules) is not enough, there is also a daisychain option available to fulfill your needs.
Yes, available as a separate addon package. The SENEC.Home will supply a dedicated circuit with energy.
SENEC V2 and V3 FAQs - Inverters/Additional Hardware
Almost all inverters are compatible with SENEC. If your inverter is not, you will require an extra power meter.
Yes, the SENEC can be integrated with both existing and new PV installations.
SENEC V2 and V3 FAQs - Installation
No. SENEC has not been designed to be wall mounted.
Installation time depends on a number of factors, including whether or not you’re installing a PV. For more information and an accurate estimate, talk to an installer.
Before installing your SENEC, you’ll need a circuit breaker to be added to your home’s main breaker panel. In some cases you may require an AC isolator and an additional power meter.
The most common location is the garage.
SENEC V2 and V3 FAQs - Operation and Software Control
Your inverter will communicate with your SENEC battery to regulate when to charge and discharge. Based on this, SENEC’s Battery Management System will then control charging/discharging.
Customers can check the status of their battery on their MY SENEC monitoring platform. This is available as an app or viewable on a desktop.
Yes, this can be achieved by using your internet connection.
SENEC V2 and V3 FAQs - Safety and Environmental
With 30,000 installations and zero critical failures, the SENEC is very safe. Temperature is monitored (via Battery Management System) at both the system and cell level, with the system ramping itself down to protect itself at 40 degrees. The SENEC also has safety features at the cell level, protecting against thermal runaway.
Yes. There are various recycling options for lithium batteries in Australia.
Under normal operations and when installed correctly, SENEC does not pose a fire hazard.
SENEC V2 and V3 FAQs - Maintenance and Reliability
Due to its state-of-the-art design, SENEC does not require maintenance or servicing. All updates are done remotely.
