LG Chem now offers low-voltage variants (48V) and for the first time high-voltage variations (400V) in order to meet energy requirements of photovoltaic systems users in Australia and New Zealand. Available from the third quarter of 2016, the new RESU models come with the capacities to generate from 3.3 to 9.8 kilowatt-hours in the low-voltage and 7 to 9.8 kilowatt-hours in the high-voltage variation. With a battery from the RESU series, users can save on energy costs by utilising solar generated power in the evenings.
The new storage series includes two high-voltage battery systems, RESU7H and RESU10H, along with three low-voltage battery systems such as the RESU3.3, RESU6.5 and RESU10. The new high-voltage models provide a variety of inverters that consumers can select in order to convert solar DC into usable AC. The move into high-voltage systems is driven by the trend of developing new inverters in high-voltage area across LG Chem’s partners. Customers now have the advantage of being offered new high-voltage battery systems, which enables numerous additional combinations of home storage and inverter, with which they can leverage the full potential of their photovoltaic system.
With small dimensions and a low weight, the RESU 6.4 EX model has the highest energy density currently available on the ESS market. LG Chem has increased the compactness once more through its new residential storage products. The model RESU 6.5, for example, falls four centimetres flatter than the comparable RESU 6.4 EX and weighs in at eight kilograms less than the current device. The new design is made possible by a newly developed battery cell that is being produced with Lamination and Stacking process.
LG Chem RESU series won the ESS award 2016 at Intersolar Europe for its innovation and design.
