Wattstor's DC coupled solar and battery storage systems offer organisations the chance to really think outside the grid – building a solar project big enough to satisfy their energy needs, without having to worry about grid constraints. Here's how it works.
In traditional solar power storage systems, energy from solar panels is converted from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) for immediate use or to be sent back to the grid. DC-Coupled Storage, on the other hand, maintains the energy in its native DC form, storing it directly in batteries.
DC-Coupled Storage, on the other hand, maintains the energy in its native DC form, storing it directly in batteries. This design simplifies the system, reduces energy losses, and increases overall efficiency. What is DC-coupled storage in Solar PV Systems?
This document examines DC-Coupled and AC-Coupled PV and energy storage solutions and provides best practices for their deployment. In a PV system with AC-Coupled storage, the PV array and the battery storage system each have their own inverter, with the two tied together on the AC side.
