A research team from the University of Huddersfield has been working on technology that could enable groupings of houses to share their solar energy. " PV outputs vary unpredictably - as do the electricity demands of each consumer", said Lead researcher and PhD student Mahmoud Dhimish. The researchers have developed a system which uses an array of photovoltaic panels in conjunction with a battery pack for storing energy generated by the panels.
A research team from the University of Huddersfield has been working on technology that could enable groupings of houses to share their solar energy. "PV outputs vary unpredictably - as do the electricity demands of each consumer", said Lead researcher and PhD student Mahmoud Dhimish. Therefore his project has been focused on reducing exportation of surplus energy to the grid and instead using the "demand diversity" of properties situated next to each other.
