At Energie Sparmesse Expdenergy 2026, Swatten presented a focused portfolio of solar-plus-storage solutions tailored to Austria’s distributed PV market. The lineup included the AC Charger, Stackable BESS, Three-Phase Hybrid Inverter (10 kW), two 50 kW Three-Phase Hybrid Inverters, and the All-in-One system (5–20 kW). Covering both residential and commercial applications, the portfolio demonstrated flexible system architecture capable of supporting scalable PV-plus-storage deployment.
Austria’s 2025–2026 subsidy structure continues to favor integrated photovoltaic and storage deployment. PV systems receive capacity-based incentives ranging from approximately €160/kW for small installations to around €130/kW for larger systems. Battery storage is supported at about €150/kWh, capped at 50 kWh (up to €7,500), and is eligible only when installed together with new or expanded solar projects. This framework clearly encourages synchronized PV-plus-storage investment and strengthens the business case for combined system design.
In this context, Swatten’s 50 kW Three-Phase Hybrid Inverter directly addresses the needs of Austria’s commercial and industrial sector. Engineered for microgrids, agricultural facilities, industrial parks, and multi-family buildings, the system supports up to 30 units in parallel, enabling expansion to 1.5 MW output and 3 MWh battery capacity. This industrial-grade scalability allows projects to grow in stages while remaining compatible with subsidy thresholds. Strong three-phase imbalance tolerance, high PV input capacity, and flexible AC/DC coupling ensure reliable operation under demanding C&I conditions, making the inverter well suited for peak shaving and long-duration load management.
As electricity tariffs become increasingly time-sensitive, Dynamic Pricing is essential for maximizing storage value. Swatten’s systems continuously track real-time market signals and automatically optimize charging and discharging cycles to capture price differentials. This enables users to turn volatility into tangible savings while reducing peak grid pressure. By minimizing reliance on short-term balancing generation and improving renewable utilization, the system supports both economic and grid stability goals. Its cloud-based EMS removes the need for an external energy hub, simplifying installation and lowering overall deployment costs.All solutions are VPP-ready and compatible with Modbus protocol, enabling aggregation into virtual power plant platforms and unlocking additional revenue streams through grid services and flexibility markets.
For residential users, the All-in-One (5–20 kW) system delivers a compact and highly integrated approach. By combining inverter functionality, storage, and an 11 kW AC EV charger into a single stackable unit, it reduces installation complexity while maximizing solar utilization. Intelligent EV charging coordination aligns mobility demand with on-site PV generation, increasing self-consumption and lowering electricity costs. The plug-and-play architecture also minimizes installation time and spatial requirements, making it particularly attractive for space-constrained homes and small businesses.
By aligning scalable commercial systems with integrated residential solutions, Swatten demonstrates how technology can effectively translate Austria’s subsidy signals into practical, future-ready energy infrastructure—supporting a more flexible and economically optimized energy transition.
