Micro-inverters and AC-coupled storage
The inverter at the panel, and the battery behind it.
Converts one or two panels’ direct current into mains alternating current at the panel itself. A shaded module drops only its own output instead of dragging a string down, and the high-voltage DC run disappears entirely.
That second point is why plug-in balcony solar exists at all.
The battery here connects on the alternating-current side rather than between panel and inverter. That means it can be added to an installation that already exists, without touching the solar wiring — and it can also charge from the grid, which a DC-coupled battery generally cannot.
For the inverter: input window per channel, output ceiling, and the grid standard it conforms to.
For the battery: usable capacity as against nominal, and whether the charge rate is published alongside it.
Elsewhere in this catalogue, a listing sold under a different seller name carries this maker’s hardware. The page names the manufacturer, because that is what the buyer is actually getting.
1.92 kWh nominal, up to 11.52 kWh · AC-coupled · bidirectional DC/AC efficiency 96.5 % · AC round-trip efficiency 86 % · app control
An AC-coupled 1.92 kWh battery expandable to 11.52 kWh whose listing publishes both a conversion efficiency and a round-trip efficiency — the only one in this family that does.
Best for: Someone comparing storage on what a stored kilowatt-hour costs rather than on headline capacity.
