I Swapped to a Sodium Battery - What Happened?

Are Sodium batteries the future of home energy storage? In this video Joe installs a sodium-ion system from Eleven Energy, show the full setup, and share what it’s actually like to live with it. We go from old inverter and wasted solar to a fully monitored, app-driven system that stores energy from my existing PV arrays and feeds the house long after the sun’s gone down. You’ll see: Replacing aging DC runs with PV Ultra Safe roof access using Easi Dec platforms Mounting and wiring the inverter & CT metering Installing the sodium battery cabinet with a Heat Pump Mover Commissioning, app setup and real-world winter data We’ll also talk tariffs, grid import/export, and why sodium’s safety, abundance and deep cycling make it a seriously interesting alternative to lithium at home.
