M-TEC and Miba introduce modular storage for SMEs and agriculture, while Aerocompact launches the Compactflat SN Fast flat roof system. These are this week’s top products at pv Europe.
Solyco has introduced a new back-contact module, while Kostal Solar offers more precise planning through 2D roof visualisation. Sunoyster is delivering flexible modules for petrol station roofs and Bauder Solar has launched a new bifacial lightweight glass-glass module. These are our top products this week.
Kostal has added a visual 2D roof planning feature to its Solar Plan planning tool. The new function is designed to make installers’ work easier and enables more precise planning of solar power systems.
The commercial segment is taking centre stage this year. As in the residential sector, the boundaries between inverters and battery storage are increasingly blurring in commercial applications.
The new partnership will include products for the residential sector, including Plenticore inverters, the Energy Meter and EV Charger.
Ioannis Chatzichristofis is Regional Sales Manager at KOSTAL Solar Electric and is responsible for the Polish, Czech, Baltic and Finnish markets. In the interview, he explains why he currently sees challenges in the Polish photovoltaic market, but why the market offers excellent potential in the long term.
Inverter manufacturer Kostal Solar Electric and battery manufacturer Varta are offering a new package for greater self-sufficiency. Thanks to the close co-operation between the two development departments, the compatibility of the Plenticore G3 and the Vartawall is now assured.
An inverter that grows with the tasks of the installers: Kostal Solar Electric took three new devices of the Plenticore G3 to the market. They cover 27 different solar applications. How does this work, CEO Frank Henn explains.
ZYC Energy have announced the compatibility of their Simpo HV battery system with Kostal Solar Electric’s Plenticore G3 inverter.
The third-generation Plenticore from manufacturer Kostal can be used as a solar, hybrid or battery inverter. It is also prepared for greater energy demand from households, as the inverter's output can be expanded (even at a later date).
The new wallbox from Kostal is called Enector. It is compatible with a wide range of electric and hybrid vehicles. It charges with up to 3.7 kilowatts with a single-phase connection and eleven kilowatts with a three-phase connection - each with a current of 16 amps per phase.
The Piko CI 100 is Kostal's answer to the growing demand for ever more powerful commercial inverters. The Piko CI 100 has an output of 100 kilowatts and features arc detection with automated event signalling for increased safety.
BYD BatteryBox by BYD, has been ranked among the most efficient energy storage systems in the evaluation by HTW (Berliner Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft) for the seventh consecutive time. Together with inverter partners such as Fronius, Kostal and Goodwe the BatteryBox system could secure top positions.
