£147,475 in projected lifetime energy savings.
Installed by RJ Solar at a church in Cumbria, this HANCHU ESS three-phase energy storage system was designed to reduce long-term energy costs while improving resilience for the wider local community.
Built around a HANCHU 36kW three-phase hybrid inverter and 56.4kWh of high-voltage battery storage, the system delivers reliable on-site energy support alongside backup capability during grid outages.
In the event of a power cut, the church can now continue operating as a hub for the local village - helping provide power, support and continuity when it may be needed most.
The system is projected to deliver:
💰 £147,475 projected lifetime savings
⏱️ Estimated payback in 6 years and 10 months
🌍 Around 7 tonnes of CO₂ savings per year
The project demonstrates how commercial-scale battery storage can support not only long-term sustainability goals, but also improve energy resilience for important community buildings.
