Darfon Solar announces release of the new HB5, HB51, H501, H502 AC Coupled Inverter BESS System
New York, New York- October 17th, 2017 Darfon Solar, part of the BenQ Group, the world’s leading notebook keyboard and power supply manufacturer, and manufacturer of the of next-generation single port G320 and double port G640 microinverters, and the manufacturer of the H5000 hybrid ongrid-offgrid charge controller inverter and HB5 AC Coupled Inverter, announced today that it has released the new HB5, HB51, H501, H502 AC Coupled Hybrid BESS.
H500 System Overview:
HB5 – 5kW AC Coupled Inverter for use with current/installed inverters
HB51 – 5kW AC Coupled Inverter with D05 distribution box/subpanel
H501 – ESS with HB5 AC Coupled Inverter with D05 distrubtion box/subpanel, and LNMC 5KWH
H502 – ESS with HB5 AC Coupled Inverter with D05 distrubtion box/subpanel, and LNMC 10KWH
The H500 series hybrid storage system is a wall-mountable pre-configured solution that consists of a HB5 AC Coupled Inverter and either one or two 5kWh EIA02 Lithium batteries (LNMC). The H5001 includes quick disconnect terminals, AC breakers, PV disconnect and battery connectors, making the system easy to install. If you have a limited budget, a light load to support and don’t have the floor space, then this solution is for you.
The H500 series ESS builds on the successful H Series Hybrid Storage System’s integrated architecture and features a wall-mountable pre-configured solution that consists of a Darfon H5B51 AC Coupled Inverter, distribution box and a 5kWh Lithium battery (LNMC). The D05 distribution box/subpanel is attached and prewired to the H5B51, so there are only two products to mount. The D05’s quick disconnect terminals, AC breakers, PV disconnect and battery connectors, makes the system easy to install.
When using these in an existing PV solar array, the PV string inverter brand must be known before order is placed in order for Darfon to check compatibility.
The H500 is also one of the most cost competitive ESS systems in the market for residential and light commercial applications and is available for utilization in your market today!
