AP Systems unveils a real hybrid inverter for balconies. In most circumstances, balcony energy installations use micro inverters with batteries linked through an MC4 connector, says Yihan Li, gross sales supervisor of AP Systems for Austria and Germany.
EZHI, then again, is a full, single-phase hybrid inverter. The system can soak up 1,200 W and transport once more, the place the feed to the grid is lowered to 800 W. The hybrid inverter shops the distinction in a battery. In off-grid mode, EZHI can proceed to produce the family grid with 2,400 W. The switchover time to off-grid mode is claimed to be lower than 10 milliseconds. According to AP Systems, the system makes use of gallium nitride semiconductors. Despite the low energy class, the effectivity is claimed to be 96.2%. Gallium nitride semiconductors are nonetheless solely utilized in low-power purposes.
The inverter can join modules with a most short-circuit present of 25 amps. The DC enter voltage may be as much as 60 volts per enter. A particular characteristic is that AC voltage will also be utilized to the enter. If you wish to retrofit a battery, for instance, you possibly can depart the previous micro inverter operating and easily join the AC output on to the hybrid inverter.
The inverter is licensed with safety class IP67 and is subsequently preferrred for out of doors use. The beneficial working temperature ranges between minus 40 C and plus 65 C.
The key distinction between a standard balcony inverter and the hybrid resolution is that the hybrid inverter has a CAN interface for the battery. This is meant to make sure higher and safer operation of the battery, stated Li. The interface permits using just one cable for energy transmission and communication with the battery administration system. AP Systems would not make its personal battery for balconies, “however we have examined compatibility with greater than 40 producers,” Li added.
The in-house app can management power flows and handle its personal consumption. Other equipment may be built-in by way of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The producer gives a 12-year guarantee on the micro-hybrid inverter.
