The new product has a capacity of 5.4 kWh and is scalable up to 60 kWh. It has a discharge depth of 100% and a nominal charge-discharge voltage of 450 V. Italian battery manufacturer Weco has introduced a new energy storage system for residential applications. The 5K0 battery is available in two versions called 5K0 Pro and 5K0 Smart, respectively. The 5K0 Pro system comes without an inverter and the 5K0 Smart is an all-in-one solution that includes a hybrid inverter. “Single-phase models will be available in Italy from April with the new CEI 0-21 certification, while three-phase models are being certified for the main European and US markets,” a company spokesperson told pv magazine . “By the end of 2024, a 7.6 kWh version with a storage capacity of up to 110 kWh will be available for small commercial applications. “It can be combined with three-phase high voltage inverters.” Each battery unit has a storage capacity of 5.12 kWh, overall dimensions of 669 mm x 185 mm x 340 mm and a weight of 50 kg. The lithium-ion system uses LiFePO4 as the cathode material and has an operating ambient temperature range of -20ºC to 50ºC. The new product has a capacity of 5.12 kWh and is scalable up to 60 kWh. It has a discharge depth of 100% and a nominal charge-discharge voltage of 450 V. It has a 10-year warranty and can operate for more than 6,000 cycles. It also has an IP65 protection level. As for the 5K0 Pro system, its inverter has a power of up to 6 kW and a maximum input photovoltaic voltage of 600 V. It has 2 MPPTs and, according to the manufacturer, can be oversized by up to 150% using optimizers. “It is possible to connect up to four inverters in parallel and use the Weco Gateway application for optimized load control,” says the spokesperson. |
