Emporia - Model Alpha-ESS -Home Battery System
This tailor-made Smart Home Battery System consists of three components: 1) 7.6kW or 9.6kW split-phase, AC and DC coupled inverter (grid isolation when DC coupled). 2) External isolation transformer. 3) 8.2kWh 256V DC high voltage Lithium Ion (LiFePO4) battery module. The system can support 6 modules for a maximum capacity of 49.2 kWh to store energy from solar or grid. Use the stored energy during high demand or sell it back to grid in troughs time. They`re compatible with both new installations and retrofits.
Emporia certifies our installers to ensure that your Alpha-ESS Home Battery system is installed in your home with the utmost care to maximize your savings and security. While currently available in these locations, we`re adding more certified installers soon!
Each system requires one inverter. Emporia offers a choice between two different inverter powers: 7.6kW and 9.6kW. The inverter is installed separate to the battery systems.
Each Home Battery System also comes with a Transformer. US grid regulation requires an isolation transformer be installed on the back-up output side.
Each Home Battery System can accommodate up to six 8.2 kWh Battery Modules to provide capacity from 8.2 to 49.2kWh of storage. The Battery Modules come with BMS and intelligent EMS cloud monitoring.
Track energy use and storage in real time! You`ll know exactly how much energy you`re storing in your home battery in real time and historically by the minute, hour, day, week, month, and year. Pair the Home Battery with the Emporia Vue to know when peak load times are so you can switch to stored energy. Or know when rates are lower so you can sell back to the grid.
