Full home backup ensures that your entire home remains powered during outages, providing complete energy independence. This setup involves specifying the backup duration and selecting the right battery.
Step 1. To enable full energy independence, click on the Full Energy Independence option under battery section. This will open a two-step popup to guide you through the setup process.
Step 2. Specify the total duration required for the full backup. Arka360 will display the average daily usage and yearly usage values fetched from your consumption profile. These values are used to estimate the battery capacity needed.
You can also specify what percentage of the average daily value you will be using when relying solely on the battery. By default, this is set to 50%, but you can adjust it according to your needs. In this case, we have adjusted it to 11% and we have set total backup duration as 1day and 2hours. Click on next.
Step 3. Select the battery manufacturer, model, and quantity to estimate the selected battery capacity. This helps in determining the right battery setup for full home backup. Click on 'Calculate Backup Duration'.
Step 4. We are able to see all the values. Click on 'Save' to add the battery in your design.
