Nissan starts selling solar home-energy system

Nissan's integrated home energy solution, Nissan Energy Solar, is now available to buy in the UK.

The product allows customers to optimise the way their properties create, store and consume energy through solar panels, battery storage (xStorage Home) and a home energy management system.

Customers will be able to buy fully integrated solar and storage package, or the respective components individually.

The energy storage systems can either use new or second life batteries from Nissan electric vehicles, to maximise the use of recyclable materials.

The new solution also includes a home energy management system that allows users to control how and when they use their energy. The system significantly reduces homeowners’ carbon footprint and energy costs, by automating energy flows to optimise solar energy production and battery storage capacity.

Gareth Dunsmore, Electric Vehicle Director, Nissan Europe, said: "Nissan Energy Solar is a complete system for home energy generation, management and storage. It enables UK homeowners to make significant savings on their household electricity bills, and become champions of sustainability and green technology,” said Gareth.

“More than 880,000 people in the UK already use solar panels and this fully integrated solution brings a fresh opportunity to grow this number exponentially over the coming years.”
