PowerBanx™ Home Battery
The PowerBanx™ Home Battery from Fuel Included (trading as Tanjent) is filled by free solar or half-price Economy 7 electricity and powers your home so you don’t have to pay for full price electricity again. It operates automatically and is invisible in operation to the householder and family. It can keep the lights on (and gas central heating operating) in a power cut.
PowerBanx is perhaps the most sophisticated residential energy storage system currently available in the UK. It is based on battery components already installed in more than 5000 homes worldwide. It is straightforward and easy to use – you can configure it how you want, or just ‘set it and forget it’ and have it reduce your electricity bill automatically.

Physical Arrangements
A PowerBanx can consist of between 1 and 8 batteries, and can be upgraded at any time. There are three main arrangements for the batteries:
1. One or two batteries can be clipped together and stood vertically – here a one battery PowerBanx is shown in a garage:
2. One to four batteries can be clipped together and stacked horizontally – here a two battery PowerBanx is shown in a loft:
3. One to 8 batteries can be fixed horizontally inside an enclosure – here a four battery PowerBanx is shown in a cupboard (that particular enclosure can take 6 batteries):
A 3kW inverter, included in the cost, is installed close to the batteries and connected to the home’s main consumer unit (to pass power and to monitor grid consumption and solar generation).
