Tibber Homevolt: A step towards intelligent energy management

Tibber, a Swedish energy and electricity tariff provider, has introduced a new solution for the efficient use of renewable energy: the Tibber Homevolt. This home storage system, developed in collaboration with Polarium, allows users to store electricity and actively contribute to the energy transition. The Homevolt is available in two models, offering a charging capacity of 6.65 kWh or 13.3 kWh.

Advantages and functionality of the Tibber Homevolt

The Tibber Homevolt is characterized by its “bi-inverted battery unit”, which allows electricity to be both stored for domestic use and returned to the grid. This system helps stabilize the grid and supports the use of renewable energy during peak periods. When the supply of renewable energy on the grid is high and prices are low, the Homevolt stores excess electricity from the grid, helping to prevent grid overload. The Homevolt can also supply power to the grid when there is a shortage, allowing the user to receive compensation.

Connectivity and ease of use

The Tibber Homevolt is equipped with WLAN and 4G cellular connectivity to ensure constant data exchange with Tibber and the Tibber app. This allows the user to check the status of the battery at any time and configure how the battery should behave.

Ruggedness and Sustainability

The Tibber Homevolt was developed in collaboration with battery specialist Polarium and is designed specifically for the demanding Scandinavian weather conditions. The housing and internal wiring are built to last and are IP 65-rated, meaning the storage unit can withstand all seasons. The Tibber Homevolt’s battery has a lifespan of up to 20 years or 6,000 charging cycles, and at the end of its life cycle, all of the Homevolt’s components can be fully recycled.

Price and Availability

The Tibber Homevolt is available in two models, offering a charging capacity of 6.65 kWh or 13.3 kWh. The smaller Homevolt storage unit costs 89,995 Norwegian kroner, or about 7,584 euros, while the larger unit costs 129,995 kroner, or about 10,955 euros. The units will initially be launched in Scandinavia, but should soon be available throughout Europe.
