The demand for small-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems is surging, leading to a significant impact on the German storage market. Storage manufacturer Alpha ESS is presenting its new, enlarged Storion SMILE G3 system series for the first time at Europe's largest trade fair for batteries and energy storage systems, ees Europe. The new SMILE G3 series offers single-phase hybrid storage systems in the 3.6 kW and 5 kW power classes and three-phase hybrid storage systems in the 4 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW and 20 kW power classes. The modular complete systems have a usable storage capacity of 3.65 or 7.8 kilowatt hours per battery module and are particularly suitable for residential and commercial applications. Because up to six battery packs can be mounted, usable storage capacities of up to 46.8 kilowatt hours are possible.
The entire G3 series (9 inverter power classes) now uses only 2 different battery modules, making configuration much easier. Besides a parallel connected 7.8 kWh (usable capacity) battery module, there will now also be a series connected 3.65 kWh (usable capacity) battery module. The disadvantage of serially connected battery modules in terms of fail-safety (if one battery module fails, they all fail) has been overcome by Alpha ESS with an innovative automatic bypass function. As a result, Alpha ESS combines the efficiency of a high-voltage system with low-voltage batteries and the fail-safety and easy retrofit/serviceability of parallel-connected batteries. This also allows battery modules to be flexibly retrofitted.
All new products and innovations of the new Alpha Ess memory generation will be presented at an exclusive press event on June 14 at 11:00 am. You are cordially invited to attend our press event. Visitors will find the company at the trade fair center in Munich in Hall B1, Booth Number 150.
