Our solution
Developing a hydrogen based energy storage solution.
The energy storage solution for local storage at houses, farms and small and midsize companies
As owners of solar panels have experienced, there has been no good and affordable solution for the storage problem until now.We offer energy storage solutions for homes, agricultural businesses, and other small and medium-sized enterprises.
Our solutions are seamlessly tailored to your needs through intelligent software. This allows you to optimize the use of your own green electricity by storing it during peak production times and using it when you need more than you produce. When you draw power from the grid, the software ensures that you do so when it is inexpensive (or even free!), while using your stored electricity during periods of high grid prices.
This is what makes Hermanos Energy so unique.
Personalised smart energy management
Throughout the year, the software continuously monitors grid prices, availability of green energy, weather predictions, and your specific circumstances. It leverages these inputs to optimize the system's performance for your needs.
Day and night storage
We store your electricity in a battery as a buffer for short-term imbalances between production and usage (such as day-night variations)
Seasonal storage
We use an electrolyzer to store electricity in the form of hydrogen as a buffer for imbalances over longer periods (summer-winter).
Mannaging heat
When converting betweem electricity and hydrogen, heat is released. This heat is often considered as "energy loss." In our system, the released heat is used for heating or providing hot water to your home or business. We also have a hydrogen boiler so you can use the hydrogen for heating directly.
Good for profit and enviroment
With our storage solution, you can also significantly reduce your costs for grid electricity usage. Grid electricity prices vary from hour to hour, ranging from more than 60 cents per kwh to below zero. You can configure the software to stop drawing electricity from the grid once the price exceeds a certain level, and instead utilize the electricity stored in your system. And moments with high prices correlate with a lot of energy from fosil fuels, using your own stored green energy at those moments is much better for the enviroment as well.
A year round solution
In summer there is an excess of solar power and at that time energy consumption is low. In winters the yield of solar panels is much less, and a lot of energy in the form of heating is used. Batteries have a limited storage capacity, they are great for day storage but we add hydrogen storage to it to deal with the imbalance in the seasons. Click through the pictures below to see how our system behaves during the different seasons.
FAQ
Got questions?
Is converting electricity into hydrogen an efficient process?
Often this is seen as an inefficient process, but the "loss'' of energy is mostly heat. In the solution of Hermanos energy, the waste heat is stored and used, for example for your daily warm showers or heating in the winter. By using heat and electricity there is not much energy loss.
