Ellzee, 25.04.2016. The SolarMax Group is presenting its new storage solution MaxStorage TP-S for the very first time at the leading trade fair for the international solar industry, Intersolar Europe in Munich. The new system solution has a modular construction, uniting lithium-ion battery storage, a battery management system, a tried and tested SolarMax TP-Series inverter and the new MaxWeb XPN energy manager, all in one casing.
For the inverters, customers can choose between three TP-Series devices with rated outputs of five to seven kilowatts. Thanks to their dynamic 70% power reduction they can control consumers to increase self-consumption. The basic storage module has a capacity of 3.6 kilowatt-hours and can be extended in stages of 1.2 kilowatt-hours up to 12 kilowatt-hours. The DC-coupled system achieves a charging efficiency factor of von 97 per cent, and it can be discharged in wide operating range of -20 to + 60 degrees Celsius.
Self-learning energy management
For managing energy, the SolarMax Group has developed the new MaxWeb XPN data logger. As nodal point for remote monitoring it records current readings, yield data and events. As an energy management centre it regulates the energy flow and adjusts it to suit energy need and availability. This makes it possible to use existing resources intelligently.
All used and surrendered power is visualised, and both own consumption and electricity saved are graphically represented. The MaxWeb XPN software is self-learning: based on typical consumption and the weather forecast the data logger determines the best time to store solar power, which increases efficiency and maximises returns.
