All these sectors can benefit from the advantages of solar energy with a manageable investment that pays for itself in an increasingly shorter timeframe, given the rising cost of energy.
Regarding efficiency, the MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) technology ensures that the inverter operates at the optimal point on its VI (voltage-current) curve at all times. Factors such as orientation, latitude, irradiance level, and temperature also influence panel performance.
Versatility is key, particularly with the solar inverter, the device initially responsible for converting the direct current (DC) from the solar panels into the alternating current (AC) that powers household appliances, machinery, lighting systems, and all types of electrical devices. Thanks to hybrid technology, the inverter has evolved to play a role that goes far beyond mere conversion.
The core of the most efficient and sustainable solar installations,
the hybrid inverter is designed to offer various operating modes and guarantee supply under any situation, whether for self-consumption, storing excess power in a battery, or feeding it into the electrical grid. The goal of hybrid inverters is to provide maximum energy availability, and that's precisely what the new EQUINOX2 HSX range from Salicru (https://www.salicru.com/equinox2-hsx.html) delivers.
These single-phase hybrid solar inverters, with models capable of supplying power from 3 to 8 kW, offer up to six operating modes: Peak Shaving, hierarchical discrimination of surplus energy discharge behavior (load/batteries/grid), automatic backup, isolated, and without batteries.
Among these, the Peak Shaving mode is particularly noteworthy. It activates when demand exceeds generation and uses the energy stored in the battery, avoiding a grid connection that would incur additional costs. The automatic backup mode, meanwhile, allows the system to act as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and deliver 100% of the inverter's nominal power to the loads. This process is also performed automatically in just 15 ms if a grid power outage occurs. The battery-less operating mode allows continued access to photovoltaic energy even if the batteries are out of service, whether due to disconnection for replacement, poor condition, or because they were never installed, as the user prefers to avoid this initial expense and consider purchasing them later.
Along with this high level of versatility, the EQUINOX2 HSX inverters guarantee efficient conversion thanks to their two 15A MPPT trackers and low 80Vdc start-up voltage, enabling commissioning and battery charging even with low solar radiation.
The high performance of these inverters is complemented by simplified installation and operation via the free EQX-sun app. In short, a next-generation hybrid option that is ideally suited to the needs of homes and small businesses.
