SMART ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
TOWARD A NET-ZERO FUTURE AUSTRALIA’S ROOFTOP PV MARKET continues to evolve and the government’s greater attention on building a smart energy future demands innovative solutions and technologies. SolaX Power, one of the earliest enterprises to deliver hybrid inverters to the Australian market, has been committed to selfdeveloping and innovating PV and energy storage technology for more than a decade. The company has continued to invest in the Australian market and has been active on many fronts including contributing to Australian VPP programs and teaming with local partners to provide feed-in-tariffs to residents. SolaX has also maintained the pace in R&D to spawn a series of new products. The latest generation of energy storage systems, X-ESS G4, was recently released into the Australian market. The new energy storage system has an elegant and appealing look with its futuristic grey modular design.
In addition the X-ESS G4 delivers many advances on the previous generation: 1. Higher max. DC input current 16A to satisfy large power solar panels 2. Micro-grid function available 3. Compatibility with diesel generators 4. On & off-grid parallel connection to increase system capacity 5. All-in-one solution with Matebox to save installation time, and 6. Automatic warm up function for T30 LFP batteries which keeps the system running normally during cold winter days. SolaX aims to set up an intelligent household ESS ecosphere that offers a greener lifestyle to residents.
One small step to realising this goal is the development of the SolaX adaptor box, a device matching the X-ESS G4 to supply surplus power to a heat pump to increase household self-consumption rates. This function is to be expanded to a new generation of SolaX on-grid inverters soon. Also during 2022, SolaX will be releasing its own EV charger which will be fully compatible with the SolaX energy storage system and monitoring platform. The EV charger has built in type-A RCD protection and 6mA DC protection, integrated RFID function and multiple working modes to fit different situations.
