Fortress Energy Storage (Inverter + Battery)

Fortress 8kW/18.5kWh Energy Storage Solution

Innovative, affordable and easy-to-install energy storage solution (ESS) that can used for both new and existing PV arrays.

World's Most Efficient

93% round-trip efficiency rate (PV-> battery-> AC load), 8- 20% higher than the competitors’

Powerful

9 KW continuous for On Grid production & 20kW peak Off Grid for starting 3 ton A/C or well pumps; 18.5 KWH storage capacity per unit and is scalable to 148kWH

Flexible

It can be DC coupled to new array, as well as AC coupled to existing array. DC + AC Coupling Combined supports up-to 13KW PV array

Simple to Install and Use

The plug and play solution integrate charger, inverter, auto-transfer, distribution box, monitoring all in one unit

Highest Safety

Safe lithium iron phosphate chemistry; no cooling and ventilation is required

Applications

ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION (GRID-TIED, HYBRID OR OFF-GRID)
Simultaneously manages power to/from Solar, Battery, Grid, Load, and Generator

  • Grid Tied Mode: Sell your power to reduce your electric bill
  • Meter Zero Mode: Zero your electric bill without a smart meter
  • Time of Use: Use solar and batteries to minimize grid power usage when its most expensive
  • Smart Load: Use a programmable output for high power off-grid items or Grid time of use items to run only when there is a lot of Solar (hot water, A/C, pumps, dehumidifier)
  • Peak Shaving: Reduces your peak power demand from the grid
