Continuing the drive for better compatibility with storage units, Ingeteam's hybrid inverter Ingecon Sun Storage 1Play is now also certified to work together with Pylontech's batteries. This makes it possible to create a hybrid system that combines PV power generation with energy storage, with no need to add additional PV inverters. Furthermore, it is also possible to create stand-alone systems and to operate in self-consumption or back-up mode. Thus, for grid-connected systems, the solar energy generated during the day can be stored for night-time consumption, giving the highest possible self-consumption ratio. Additionally, the power supply can be maintained in the event of a grid failure.
The Ingeteam inverter permits the connection of a PV array and also a battery bank to the same unit, thereby reducing the cost of the system overall. This 3 or 6 kW single-phase transformerless inverter has been designed for use in residential and commercial installations alike. (mfo)
