In a landmark achievement for sustainable energy innovation, Toruń, Poland has become the first location in Europe to install a Commercial & Industrial (C&I) energy storage system in a single-family home. Enabled by SolaX Power’s advanced technology and expertise, this pioneering project showcases how cutting-edge industrial energy solutions can be successfully adapted for residential use—setting a new standard in home energy management.
The centerpiece of the installation is the TRENE air cooling energy storage system, seamlessly integrated with a 100 kWp photovoltaic installation and multiple heat pumps. This advanced setup powers not only the household, but also a bowling alley, swimming pool, and EV (electric vehicle) charging station located on the same property.
This project exemplifies how high-demand homes can benefit from industrial-level energy technologies, reducing both carbon footprint and reliance on the grid.
Prior to the installation, the home’s annual energy consumption was approximately 150 MWh. Now, thanks to the TRENE energy storage system, surplus solar energy is stored and used during peak demand periods, significantly reducing electricity bills and easing the load on the local power grid.
The three key goals of this investment were:
Maximizing self-consumption of renewable energy,
Boosting energy independence, and
Providing backup power during outages.
All three have been successfully achieved, with the C&I ESS solution delivering high performance and reliability.
Traditionally reserved for factories and commercial properties, C&I storage solutions are now proving valuable in premium residential applications, especially in homes with elevated energy needs. This project bridges the gap between large-scale systems and private homeowners, paving the way for future installations across Europe.
As the global demand for clean energy continues to rise, this installation in Poland demonstrates a viable path toward scalable residential energy resilience. It’s a bold step that aligns with Europe’s climate goals and reinforces the importance of smart energy storage technologies in the transition to a sustainable future.
