Victron Energy EasySolar 1600VA/24V/70A, MPPT 100/50 Hybrid Solar Unit with AC circuit breakers

Product detailed description

EasySolar helps to achieve a higher level of energy independence from the grid. It combines the inverter/charger, solar MPPT controller and AC power distribution including protection into one compact device. It is easy to install, space-saving and minimizes the wiring required. It sophisticatedly and automatically prioritizes the use of the solar energy produced and minimizes the draw from the grid. It is designed to power 230 V AC single-phase appliances.

Description of EasySolar EasySolar works as a central unit. The photovoltaic panels - the solar energy source, the battery for energy storage, the grid connection as a backup source and the appliances are connected directly to it. All simply without the need to open anything up and do complicated assembly or setup. The operation and overall functioning is governed by internal sophisticated logic. It is a compact two-in-one device combining an inverter/charger (MultiPlus) and a solar MPPT controller. The inverter/charger draws the generated energy directly from the solar system and/or the energy stored in the battery, converts it into AC and powers the connected 230 VAC appliances. The solar MPPT controller maximises the amount of energy produced from the PV panels, transfers the energy to the inverter/charger to power the appliances and stores the excess energy in the battery for future use in times of solar power shortage (e.g. at night). The basic principle of EasySolar EasySolar generates electricity from the sun, uses it directly to power standard 230 V DC appliances or stores it in a battery for later use in case of surplus. If necessary, it can also use the power of the grid, on which it is not dependent in any way. As far as possible, it prefers to use its own generated solar energy rather than energy from the grid. The use of energy from the grid is minimised to the minimum amount necessary and only in the following cases: - The battery is completely discharged. EasySolar will remove the minimum amount needed to partially recharge the battery to the most necessary safe level. This is a protective measure against deep and prolonged discharge, which will extend the life of the battery. - Once every 28 days (factory setting) a protective recharge to the full battery state is performed, thus extending the life of the battery. - Overcharging of the inverter will occur. The load (consumption by the appliance) is currently higher than the inverter can provide from the sun and/or battery power. In this situation, EasySolar will help itself to energy from the grid. Preferably, the own energy is taken from the solar system and/or the battery, the most necessary amount of energy is taken from the grid. As soon as the power consumption of the appliance falls below a certain threshold (normally about 1300 W), the energy from the grid is stopped. With or without energy supply to the grid. If the grid is available, EasySolar can supply/ or not supply excess energy back to the grid depending on the settings. In our conditions, the preferred setting is without supplying to the grid- solar energy that is not currently consumed by the appliances (solar energy production is higher than its current consumption) and is not stored in the battery (which is currently charged) will not be produced by the HUB-1, which ensures this by automatically dampening the production by the integrated MTTP solar controller. Sophisticated software There are multiple versions of software for the integrated inverter/charger that can be used for different purposes and settings. The standard software from the manufacturer is the 100 series, in which EasySolar behaves like a simple UPS-when the grid is available, it uses the grid to its full extent and does not prioritize the solar energy produced. To achieve the sophisticated operation described in this document, i.e., maximizing the use of solar power and minimizing grid draws, EasySolar replaces the original software with a special version of the 300 Series with HUB-1 functionality. If you intend to purchase an EasySolar with sophisticated logic for maximum solar energy use, this intention must be communicated to Neosolar. We will provide the appropriate software version and the complete EasySolar setup itself. If batteries other than Neosolar's will be used together with EasySolar, the capacity of this battery and the recommended values of the absorption (absoption) and float (float) charging voltage must be communicated. This is the only way to ensure the legality of the setup and the long-term reliability and viability of the system. Brief description of EasySolar integration For standard houses, a three-phase connection is present. The individual phases are fed into the main switchboard and selected single-phase appliances or circuits are connected to each phase. EasySolar simply plugs into one selected phase before entering the main switchboard. The selected appliances that we want to power preferentially with solar energy are then connected to that backup circuit in the main switchboard. After increasing the power capacity, it is possible to arrange several EasySolars in parallel. The device is designed as single-phase. If required, a three-phase system can be created from three separate units. Performance characteristics and features EasySolar is capable of powering appliances exclusively from the solar system and/or battery without the need to use the grid up to a cumulative consumption of approximately 1300 W. We therefore recommend that appliances normally consuming a maximum of 1300 W in total and only exceptionally and temporarily more than that be connected to EasySolar. If the consumption of the appliance is even higher than 1300 W and the grid is available at the same time, EasySolar will start using the grid energy to prevent overloading. In this condition, it tries to draw the maximum energy from the battery and the minimum energy currently required from the grid. The grid connection is seamless without interrupting the power supply to the appliances. When the overload subsides, the grid is automatically disconnected and energy is again drawn only from the battery. The disconnection from the mains is seamless without interrupting the power supply to the appliances. This is a unique feature of GridAssist. If the grid is not available at higher loads than 1300 W, a non-destructive overload of the EasySolar inverter can occur with interruption of the power supply to the appliances (not enough inverter power). In an overload condition, EasySolar tries to automatically restore power to the appliances. If the overload persists, the EasySolar inverter enters a permanent fault state (the battery charging by the solar system continues to operate independently of the inverter). Unblocking and resetting is done by a simple manual switch off and on on the front panel of the EasySolar. The maximum cumulative draw on the appliance must not exceed 5000 W. If this happens, either the EasySolar inverter will overload (draw from the battery) and the appliance will report a fault and/or one of the AC circuit breakers on the input or output of the EasySolar will trip. Connecting the grid when the inverter is overloaded (consumption by appliances above 1300 W but up to a total consumption of 5000 W) happens very quickly within about one second. There is thus no risk of interruption of the power supply. Easy connection The entire device is plug-and-play installation friendly. A big advantage of EasySolar is the internal cable connection of the inverter/charger and the solar MPPT controller to a common battery in combination with a fuse. This makes self-assembly easier and faster. All main connections are made at the bottom of the EasySolar without opening it
