Residential PV

Residential PV is a photovoltaic energy storage system for homes. The system stores solar energy for household use and for off grid conditions. A mobile app allows users to monitor performance, view energy charts and set operating modes at home or remotely. Wireless data transmission between the system and the inverter simplifies installation and reduces cable cost. Gallium nitride semiconductors support a maximum conversion efficiency of 98.4 per cent. The battery modules are stackable, and up to eight groups can run together. A protective coating resists rust, salt and moisture.
