Centering on the core objectives of stable adaptation, safety and compliance, accurate resource matching, and modular scalability, this scheme focuses on all-dimensional scientific resource allocation without benefit calculation, serving as a pure technical implementation and configuration document. The system supports both grid-tied and off-grid dual operation modes, adapting to various residential power consumption scenarios including daily self-use, emergency power backup and independent power control. It complies with national and industrial standards such as T/CEC 5113—2025 Design Specification for Residential Photovoltaic Energy Storage System, GB/T 34131 and GB/T 36276.

1.2 Core Design Principles

Power and Capacity Matching Principle: The 6KW rated output power matches the conventional peak load of household electricity. The battery capacity, inverter power and photovoltaic input power are precisely adapted to avoid power redundancy waste and insufficient load carrying capacity.
Safety and Compliance Priority Principle: All equipment, electrical wiring and protection configurations comply with residential electrical safety specifications, equipped with multiple protection mechanisms to adapt to closed and human-near residential installation environments.
Resource Intensive Adaptation Principle: Equipment selection, space occupation, cable specifications and protective accessories are configured on demand, balancing controllable implementation cost, convenient installation and simple later operation and maintenance.
Scalable and Compatible Principle: Adopt a modular equipment architecture with reserved power and capacity expansion interfaces to adapt to future upgrading demands such as load expansion, photovoltaic array increment and VPP grid linkage.

2. Overall System Architecture

The 6KW residential energy storage system consists of six independent and collaborative modules: photovoltaic input unit, energy storage inverter unit, energy storage battery unit, power distribution protection unit, safety protection unit, and monitoring and operation maintenance unit. It forms an integrated residential energy storage system covering power generation, storage, supply and protection, with no redundant configuration or configuration gap, fully meeting the operational requirements of 6KW rated power.

System operation logic: The photovoltaic array converts light energy into DC power during the day, which is input into the energy storage all-in-one machine. It preferentially supplies power for real-time household loads, and excess power is stored in the energy storage battery. When there is no photovoltaic power or during night peak power consumption, the battery releases power, which is stabilized and inverted by the inverter to supply loads. In case of grid power failure, the system automatically switches to the off-grid emergency mode to ensure uninterrupted power supply for key loads.
