As the photovoltaic market expands and becomes more popular, new demands for more practical and efficient solutions will emerge. Faced with these demands, new solutions are also emerging, such as the “all-in-one” system presented by Solax.

This is a system that allows the hybrid inverter, the protection box and the batteries to be integrated into a single device, as we will see below.

X-ESS G4

We will separate the X-ESS G4 system into three parts, namely: hybrid inverter (X1-Hybrid G4), protection box (Matebox) and batteries (Triple Power 3.0 Battery).

X1-Hybrid G4

The biggest point to highlight about this hybrid inverter is undoubtedly its power. oversizing or oversizing by 150%, causing all excess generation to be redirected to charge the batteries.

In a practical example, let's suppose you install 7,5 kWp of photovoltaic module power, however, you will only need 5 kW of inverter.

However, unlike what we had in the past, these 2,5 kWp of modules will no longer be lost, as the X1-Hybrid G4 inverter is capable of using this spare energy to charge the batteries, as demonstrated in the image below.

Furthermore, the inverters are three-phase with powers ranging from 3 kW to 7,5 kW, have IP65 protection, an operating temperature of -40º~60ºC and two MPPT inputs.

Matebox

We cannot commit the injustice of reducing the Matebox to a simple string box, as integrated with it are disconnecting switches, protection devices, transfer switches and other devices, as exemplified in the figure below.

For this reason, Matebox is largely responsible for the practical installation of the system, as unlike conventional systems, it is not necessary to install all the cables and connections, just connect the module cables to the Matebox and your system will be ready to go. in operation, saving precious installation time and consequently reducing costs. Furthermore, the loads from the consumer unit can be connected directly to the Matebox, as shown below.

Triple Power 3.0 Battery

One of the great differences of the T-BAT 3.0 battery is its charging capacity. It is possible to recharge the batteries in just one hour, which is very useful for blackouts and nighttime use.

Furthermore, the T-BAT 3.0 has a useful life of 6.000 cycles, IP 67 protection, does not contain toxic metals or caustic materials, the operating temperature can vary between -30~50ºC and its discharge capacity is 30 Ah .

The closing thought

Solax's all-in-one solution is truly a clear example of how we are experiencing a rapid pace of technological advances in the photovoltaic sector. In addition to the technical part being surprising, the practicality and design are also differentiating features of the product.

The concern that Solax had with the safety and appearance of the system is notable, which makes it possible to install it both inside and outside the home, and can be compared to a household appliance – much more sophisticated, by the way.

    All-in-one energy storage systems seem to be the inevitable trend for home energy storage systems. At Intersolar, suppliers and brands brought their latest all-in-one energy storage systems, such as BSLBATT's latest high-voltage all-in-one energy storage system, which can significantly increase the efficiency of system conversion.

  • Kleiber Antonio Alves

    When the battery is fully charged and the system is generating more than what is being consumed, is this energy dispersed into heat?

    • Beatriz Baquiega
      Beatriz Baquiega Canal Solar

      No, the inverter detects this spare energy and “blocks” its passage.

  • Milton Badaró Pereira

    The practicality of the ALL-IN-ONE system increases time savings in installing the SFV as a whole.

    Watch the video from EPinversores, I believe it has a better cost-benefit ratio. abs

  • Quasar Solar Energy

    The system is very interesting, it will allow several new applications when this product is available in our territory, currently it costs an average of 5200 Euros for a system like this.

    Please inform me of the cost of the system presented as an example in this excellent technical article.
