In a significant advancement for renewable energy technology, Australian company Ambrion has launched its latest series of all-in-one storage solutions, designed to meet the growing demands of both residential and commercial sectors. The new Eclipse HS3 series stands out with its modular design, impressive efficiency, and robust features tailored for Australia’s unique climate conditions.
Innovative Design and Performance
The Eclipse HS3 series features a 6-in-1 plug-and-play modular system with a remarkably slim profile of just 1.7 cm. This innovative design accommodates various power outputs to cater to different consumer needs:
- Single-phase models: 5 kW and 6 kW AC output (with PV input capabilities of up to 10 kW and 12 kW, respectively).
- Three-phase models: 10 kW and 12 kW AC output (supporting PV inputs up to 15 kWp).
Each system utilizes LiFePO4 battery modules, each offering approximately 5 kWh of storage, allowing users to scale their capacities from 10 kWh to 40 kWh for single-phase models and 20 kWh to 40 kWh for three-phase models. These new systems boast efficiencies of up to 97.6% for single-phase and up to 98% for three-phase configurations, underlining Ambrion’s commitment to maximizing energy use.
Key Features and Benefits
Ambrion’s Eclipse HS3 series is engineered with several standout features that enhance its usability:
- Bi-directional EV Charging: Supports electric vehicle integration, allowing for energy transfer to and from the vehicle.
- Advanced Fire Protection: Incorporates safety measures for peace of mind in residential and commercial installations.
- Thermal Management: Operates efficiently across a wide temperature range of -30°C to 50°C, making it suitable for harsh Australian environments.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Users can access data through app-based monitoring systems like SolarPlant, ensuring they can track performance and usage seamlessly.
Addressing Australia’s Energy Storage Needs
As Australia continues to lead the world in per-capita rooftop solar adoption, the need for advanced energy storage solutions has never been more pressing. The Eclipse HS3 series addresses key issues in the energy sector, including grid stability and peak demand management. With policies supporting solar initiatives, such as Victoria’s solar rebate programs, Ambrion’s all-in-one systems simplify installations and enhance system resilience, aligning with national goals to achieve 82% renewable energy by 2030.
Implications for Future Energy Solutions
Ambrion’s latest offerings not only promise to simplify hybrid solar and storage deployments but also reduce costs through modularity. This positions local manufacturers like Ambrion favorably against international competitors and could accelerate participation in virtual power plants (VPPs), especially as electricity prices rise and renewable energy targets become more ambitious. The company’s commitment to developing solutions that withstand extreme weather ensures that Australian consumers have reliable access to renewable energy, even in challenging conditions.
According to PV Magazine, the introduction of the Eclipse HS3 series marks a pivotal step in enhancing energy independence for Australians, providing them with the tools they need to manage their energy consumption effectively.
