Seamless Upgrade: Turning Sunshine into Stable Power with Hypontech's AC Coupled Energy Storage Solution
Published on : 2024-10-24
As global energy demand continues to rise, more households and businesses are seeking efficient ways to harness renewable resources like solar energy. However, fluctuations in sunlight conditions often lead to instability in photovoltaic (PV) inverter output power. Enhancing the efficiency of solar systems, particularly during inclement weather or periods of increased electricity demand, is a challenge many users face.
Traditional grid-tied solar systems provide immediate power, but if users cannot consume the generated electricity in real time, excess power can be sold back to the grid in certain regions with favorable policies. However, in areas where selling electricity back is not permitted or where prices are low, surplus energy may go to waste, leading to unsatisfactory returns. So, how can this issue be addressed, especially for those who already have installed solar systems?
Upgrade Your Solar Game with Hypontech's AC Coupled Energy Storage
To meet these needs, Hypontech introduces the AC Coupled Energy Storage Solution, enabling users to upgrade their existing solar systems in a cost-effective manner. This solution does not require the installation of additional PV panels; instead, it enhances system performance by integrating energy storage devices.
Existing Grid-Tied System + AC Coupled Inverter + Battery = AC Coupled Energy Storage System
In an AC coupled energy storage system, the DC electricity generated by the solar system is first converted into AC power by the grid-tied inverter for use by the grid or local AC loads. When energy storage is needed, the AC power from the grid is converted back into DC power by the AC coupled inverter and stored in the battery. During battery discharge, the stored DC electricity is once again converted into AC power by the inverter for user consumption or feedback to the grid.
Why AC Coupled Systems Are a No-Brainer?
Economical Upgrade: More Power, Less Cost!
Choosing a hybrid energy storage system typically involves installing new PV panels, which may require extra rooftop space. In situations with limited rooftop resources, the AC coupled energy storage system allows for better utilization of existing solar equipment and resources, facilitating upgrades and expansions at a lower cost and with greater simplicity.
Flexible Management: Maximize Existing Solar Power
The AC coupled energy etorage solution enables easy integration of storage devices like AC coupled inverters and batteries without altering the existing grid-tied system. It also offers enhanced monitoring of the original system's energy production data, allowing users to adjust system configurations based on actual needs to optimize energy utilization.
Backup Power: Stay Connected Always
This system integrates both grid-tied and off-grid functionalities. By incorporating an AC coupled inverter and battery, it can automatically switch to off-grid mode during grid fluctuations or outages, ensuring continuous power supply to critical devices and significantly enhancing power stability.
Self-Consumption: Make the Most of Your Solar Generation
Excess electricity generated by the grid-tied inverter can be stored in the battery through the AC coupled inverter and released when needed, substantially increasing the self-consumption rate of the home solar generation system and reducing reliance on the grid.
Energy Savings: Master the Price Game
In regions with significant electricity price fluctuations and a clear peak and off-peak pricing structure, users can leverage this system to purchase electricity from the grid at lower prices to store in the battery and release or sell it during higher price periods, thereby maximizing economic returns.
Perfectly Placed: Where AC Coupled Solutions Shine?
Regions with Unstable Grids:
In areas with unstable electricity supply, such as some developing countries or remote regions, the AC Coupled Energy Storage system can provide reliable backup power support during outages, ensuring normal living and working conditions for users.
Regions with Significant Peak and Off-Peak Price Variations:
In cities or countries with volatile electricity prices, users can substantially reduce overall electricity costs and potentially profit through strategies of storing low-priced power and releasing it at higher prices using the AC coupled energy storage system.
Regions with Electricity Subsidy Policies:
In areas implementing renewable energy incentive policies, users can better leverage government subsidies through this system, maximizing economic benefits.
Hypontech’s AC coupled energy storage solution offers an efficient and economical energy upgrade pathway for users of existing solar systems. It not only meets the evolving energy demands but also provides long-term environmental and economic returns.
