The German manufacturer claims that PV system owners can connect up to four units in parallel for storage capacity of up to 106.8 kWh. The battery has a life cycle of more than 6,000 cycles and a 10-year warranty.German battery manufacturer BMZ Group has developed a new residential storage system with a capacity of up to 26.7 kWh per unit.
Dubbed Power4Home, the system uses cobalt-free lithium iron phosphate batteries with a 16S1P configuration.
“Lithium iron phosphate cell technology and 2-channel safety architecture not only ensure maximum energy density in the smallest possible installation space, but also offer reliable protection against overcurrent, undervoltage, overvoltage, short circuits and reversal. of polarity throughout the permitted temperature range,” the company states in a statement.
The manufacturer offers the new product with two to eight battery modules. The basic two-module battery has 6.7 kWh of usable energy, while the eight-module configuration has 26.7 kWh usable energy.
The two-module product has dimensions of 780 mm x 577 mm x 164 mm, while the eight-module system has a size of 1,560 mm x 1,154 mm x 164 mm. Each module measures 702 mm x 124 mm x 123 mm and weighs 28 kg.
The battery has a life cycle of more than 6,000 cycles and a 10-year warranty.
“Customers can connect up to four Power4Home units in parallel and store and use between 6.7 kWh and 106.8 kWh of energy,” adds the manufacturer. “The units can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted, either stacked or side-by-side. Thus, Power4Home adapts perfectly to the conditions of the space and aesthetic preferences.”
The new battery uses passive cooling, and customers can extend the system with thermal management to operate in extreme temperatures from -20ºC to 55ºC. The company also offers an inverter as a complement to the storage system, as well as a grid switch that replaces the emergency electrical generator in case of unstable power supply from the grid. |
