Solar power allows you to produce free, renewable energy for your home. Coupled with a solar storage solution, you can truly achieve independence from the power grid. As the popularity of solar-plus-storage continues to rise, you may be wondering which of the many options on the market is right for your energy storage needs. Keep reading to learn more about the options available from Schneider Electric, a leader in energy management and solar power solutions.
XW Pro Hybrid Inverter/Charger
The XW Pro Hybrid Inverter/Charger is one of Schneider Electric’s flagship products for solar energy storage. This advanced hybrid inverter allows you to store extra solar power in batteries so you can draw on it when needed, such as during peak usage times or power outages. As a hybrid inverter, the XW Pro offers versatile functionality both on-grid and off-grid, giving you the best of both worlds. It’s also largely scalable, making it suitable for larger installations with higher energy demands, and is compatible with both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries for easy energy storage.
Conext MPPT Charge Controllers
The Conext MPPT Charge Controllers are designed to optimize the amount of energy you receive from your solar panels. They can constantly adjust to match optimal voltage and current levels so that you can ensure your solar panels are always operating at peak efficiency. This maximizes the amount of energy stored in the battery bank at any given time. Like the XW Pro above, these charge controllers are also compatible with a variety of battery types, and can be easily paired with Schneider’s inverters for a complete energy storage solution.
Battery Backup Solutions
Battery backup is the key to energy storage. The energy storage systems from Schneider Electric allow you to have uninterrupted power, even during blackouts on the rest of the grid, offering you peace of mind. Schneider’s battery storage systems are scalable, so you can build a battery bank that’s sized to your unique power needs. Their battery systems work efficiently with the other energy management equipment outlined above, so you can build a seamlessly integrated system to provide you with solar power both day and night.
Conext Gateway and Insight
While your solar power system and Schneider Electric energy storage solution can largely operate without any interference from you, monitoring your system can make it more effective and efficient. Schneider Electric offers both the Conext Gateway and Insight platforms, which allow you to track energy production, consumption, and storage in real time. With remote monitoring and management abilities built into the platforms, you can easily optimize your solar power system’s performance from anywhere.
