Product Overview
The system stores energy from solar panels or the mains grid and feeds it directly to the consumer unit, reducing dependence on grid electricity during peak tariff periods. When solar generation is available, the system prioritises self-consumption, charging the battery with any surplus and exporting the remainder to the grid if configured to do so.
Without solar panels, the system can be configured to charge the battery on an off-peak tariff overnight and discharge during peak hours, reducing electricity costs without any PV installation. Solar panels can be added at any time to further improve self-sufficiency.
The system is compatible with monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV modules only. Do not connect any other PV array types. Do not connect the positive or negative terminal of the solar array to earth.
