Nissan claims a reduction in household electricity bills of up to 66%, increased independence from the national grid and electricity providers and the ability to generate, store and manage energy for use overnight – even on overcast or rainy days – and, of course, charge a Leaf.
Gareth Dunsmore, electric vehicle director, Nissan Europe, said: “Nissan Energy Solar is a complete system for home energy generation, management and storage. It enables UK homeowners to make significant savings on their household electricity bills, and become champions of sustainability and green technology.”
“More than 880,000 people in the UK already use solar panels and this fully integrated solution brings a fresh opportunity to grow this number exponentially over the coming years.”
UK customers have the choice to select energy storage systems that use either new or second life batteries from Nissan electric vehicles. This maximises the use of recyclable materials.
The home energy management system allows users to control how and when they use their energy. The system significantly reduces homeowners’ carbon footprint and energy costs, by automating energy flows to optimise solar energy production and battery storage capacity
Pricing starts at GBP3,881 which includes the supply and installation of a six panel solar system, home energy management system, and VAT at 5%.
