As West Africa continues to accelerate its adoption of solar energy technologies, the demand for stable and resilient home energy storage has never been greater. PYTES is pleased to announce the successful completion of its first residential V15 installation in Burkina Faso by our partner Opti-Mist Solutions, marking an important milestone for both the local market and our global expansion.
This system integrates two PYTES V15 batteries (total 30 kWh), three SRNE 6 kVA hybrid inverters, and a rooftop PV array of 24 Canadian Solar 365 W modules (8.76 kWp), building a complete and reliable solar-plus-storage solution designed to support long-term household energy needs.
Installation Overview
1. Rooftop PV Array Installation
Technicians first completed the installation of the 24-panel solar array, ensuring optimal orientation for maximum solar production. This rooftop system forms the foundation of daily renewable energy generation.
2. All Materials Arrive Onsite
Before installation began, all components including batteries, inverters, cabling, breakers, and mounting hardware were delivered and organized for the engineering team to review.
3. Inverter Installation Begins
The installation team began mounting the three SRNE 6 kVA hybrid inverters. This step included positioning, wall fixing, and preparing AC/DC wiring paths to ensure efficient integration with both the PV array and the battery bank.
4. Inverter Installation Completed
Once all electrical connections were tested, the three inverters were fully installed, forming the central control hub of the system's energy conversion and management process.
5. V15 Battery Positioning and Pre-Installation
After preparing the inverter section, the two PYTES V15 units were positioned and inspected prior to wiring. Their compact footprint and durable construction support easy integration into residential spaces.
6. Battery Installation Completed
With all protection devices and communication wiring connected, the V15 battery bank was fully installed and commissioned. The final system delivers 30 kWh of usable energy storage, supporting essential household loads and enabling greater energy autonomy.
How the V15 Enhances Daily System Performance
The V15’s advanced design and high-capacity output make it an ideal solution for residential applications in regions with variable grid reliability.
● Multi Safe Protections:LFP chemistry, Tier 1 automotive cells & field-proven BMS,emergency shutdown,pre-charge circuit;
● Powerful output & High Capacity:7.17kW powerful output, 14.34kWh high capacity;
● Smart:remote upgrading & monitoring;
● Wide Compatibility Range:closed-loop compatible with over 20+ inverters;
● Installer Friendly:wheelable & less wiring,one battery for the whole family;
● Expandable:scalable up to 6 units on demand.
Real Benefits for the Homeowner
Since commissioning, the homeowner has benefited from:
● High weekend self-consumption that offsets most of the home’s 40 kWh/day usage;
● Significantly reduced reliance on the electricity grid;
● Stable, uninterrupted power during multi-hour outages;
● Improved comfort and confidence through reliable daily energy supply.
This installation highlights the strong performance and reliability of the Pytes V15 under real residential conditions in West Africa.
