Glenelg North, Australia: Eddy May, Director of NRG Australia, is a firm believer in a 100% renewable energy future. In late 2015 Mr. May installed a Fronius Symo Hybrid at his home in South Australia; bringing the renewable energy revolution into his daily family life. In late 2018, he added a BYD Battery-Box HV 8.96 kWh system to the existing set up. 

With a simple remote software update to their existing Fronius Symo Hybrid in 2018, the May‘s household became on of the first Fronius/BYD installations in Australia. "The flexible design of the Fronius Symo Hybrid meant that we could add a BYD Battery-Box HV 8.96 kWh unit to our existing PV system several years after the initial install."

Mr. May takes full advantage of the South Australian sun by utilising Fronius monitoring solutions to increase his family‘s self-consumption.

"The reliability of our Fronius monitoring means we can set up the swimming pool pumps and air conditioning loads at times where we can predict the highest output of the PV, thereby giving us the maximum chance to optimise self-consumption."

Why is the renewable energy revolution so important to Mr. May? "I am a 24 hours of sun advocate, and I believe in sustainability for generations to come. My Fronius PV solution not only gives me grid independence but it teaches my children about solar production, grid consumption and ultimately self-sufficiency and how all of that helps the environment."
