BYD BatteryBox celebrates more than one million installed systems

Since the launch of the first BYD BatteryBox system at ees Europe in 2015, the battery storage solution series has established itself as one of the most popular and successful energy storage systems across the globe.

In 2024 BYD celebrated a track record of more than one million installed systems, without a single safety issue. The system is renowned for both its reliability and the flexibility which allows the partners and clients to adapt the system to their specific application cases. The full range of the BYD BatteryBox Premium product portfolio will be presented at the booth – including the high-voltage models BYD BatteryBox Premium HVS and HVM as well as the low-voltage models LVL and LVS.

At The Smarter E Europe 2024, BYD will present a new BCU for the BatteryBox HVM and HVS series. A newly introduced plug system will eliminate the need of removing the cover to connect cables during the system installation. This not only makes installation quick and easy, but it also eliminates sources for errors during the installation.

“As the European services partner for BYD BatteryBox we have experienced the success of the system during the last nine years,” said Florian Blaser, General Manager EFT-Systems – European partner for BYD BatteryBox. “The system has been rated as the number one choice of installers in several surveys and has been able to grow its market share to more than 30% in the residential market sector. In addition to the systems’ strong performance, reliability, and flexibility this success can also be attributed to the fantastic cooperation within the European partner network. To celebrate this strong cooperation BYD will take the opportunity to thank partners for their contribution with a special installer partner event at The Smarter E Europe 2024.”

Introducing a new BatteryMax Lite generation

The new system generation of BatteryMax Lite will be launched at the ees Europe 2024. True to the motto “Max your Business”, the solution has been designed to support C&I applications and to realise a speedy ROI by utilising energy storage to cut costs on the rising energy bills through self-consumption, peak-shaving, or time-of-use arbitrage. The system offers the flexibility to scale from 30kWh to 90kWh due to the modular system within each cabinet and can be scaled up to 5.76MWh by connecting 64 towers in parallel. The new system generation with BYD’s proven cobalt-free LFP battery cells has an even more compact footprint (0.9 x 1.3 meters), offers an open interface, an intelligent battery management unit and supports a very easy installation. BatteryMax Lite features a wide variety of safety and security functions and guarantees a high performance of 90kW per cabinet. The system has been designed for use with inverters such as SMA, KACO, Deye, Goodwe, Solis, and more. 

The new BatteryMax Lite can be pre-ordered from July 2024. With shipments starting in late summer, system availability in Europe is expected for October 2024.
