German companies Indielux and EPP Solar have launched what they claim is the “largest” plug-in PV system in the world: a residential array with a capacity of up to 6 kW.
The companies said the system is available for pre-order and will launch in December in Germany, France, Austria, Poland and Spain, with optional installation service.
“Ready2plugin technology is the only technology with this output that allows existing electrical installations to be used via a safety plug in a way that is compliant with standards and easy to use without the need for an electrician,” Indielux said in a statement.
EPP Solar Managing Director Patrick Willemer claimed that the interaction of the technology and the EPP logistics network “enables a price advantage of up to 55% over traditional providers for a full-fledged photovoltaic system with energy storage.”
Indielux and EPP Solar jointly developed the system. Indielux integrated communication with the Growatt WR SPH 3000 TL BL-UP inverter in the Ready2plugin power monitor.
The system includes bifacial solar panels from an unspecified manufacturer, with power ranging from 3 kW to 6 kW and scalable to meet customer needs. Battery capacity options range from 5.1 kWh to 25.6 kWh.
The companies said an energy management system limits feed-in to the public grid to 800 W. The system also features a compliant wall socket power supply of up to 2,000 W for self-consumption, with an emergency power socket that can supply up to 3,000 W. It works in temperatures from -10 C to 50 C.
Prices start at €4,700 ($5,120), with configuration options influencing the final cost. EPP Solar offers special prices prior to the official market launch.
