4.1 Accurately Assessing Household Electricity Needs Before optimizing the storage system, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive and accurate assessment of household electricity needs. This includes:

· Listing all electrical devices: Record all devices that require power along with their wattage and usage duration. For example, LED lighting (10W), refrigerator (200W), air conditioner (1500W), television (100W), phone charger (20W), etc.

· Calculating total electricity consumption: Based on the wattage and usage duration of devices, calculate the daily total power consumption. For instance, if the refrigerator operates 24 hours a day at 200W, its consumption is 200W × 24 = 4800Wh; the air conditioner operating 6 hours a day at 1500W consumes 1500W × 6 = 9000Wh; the total power consumption is 13800Wh.

· Considering peak electricity usage: Identify peak usage times to ensure the storage system can handle sudden high-load demands. For example, summer afternoons and evenings may be peak usage periods.

· Allowing for surplus capacity: Reserve some storage capacity to deal with adverse weather or emergencies, avoiding power shortages. For instance, reserving 20% of storage capacity means 13800Wh × 1.2 = 16560Wh.

By accurately assessing electricity needs, users can more effectively select the appropriate storage system capacity, avoiding power supply issues due to insufficient capacity.

4.2 Choosing the Right Energy Storage System Choosing the right type and capacity of the storage system based on electricity needs is a critical step. Specific suggestions include:

· Selecting a high-capacity all-in-one machine: Prioritize high-capacity all-in-one machines like the 1020kWh unit, as their high energy density, long cycle life, and efficient charging/discharging performance meet high-performance storage system needs.

· Capacity selection: Based on electricity needs, choose the storage battery's capacity. For example, 16560Wh / 1020kWh ≈ 16.2 indicates that the all-in-one machine's capacity is sufficient to meet the demand.

· Depth of discharge capability: Opt for storage systems with high depth of discharge (DoD) capabilities, allowing for full utilization of storage without compromising battery life. For example, lithium batteries typically support 80%-90% DoD, while lead-acid batteries only support 50%.
