Bosch Power Tec BPT-S 5 Hybrid intelligent energy storage solution

Bosch Power Tec’s BPT-S 5 Hybrid intelligent energy management and storage solution is suitable for the domestic photovoltaic systems market.

The product stores the electricity produced during the day in order to use it in the mornings and evenings. It is based on high-performance, lithium-ion batteries with a storage capacity of 4.4 kWh, which can be expanded as required in modular steps of 2.2 up to a maximum of 13.2 kWh.

The company’s storage solution helps users to be more independent from the public power grid. As a result of this intelligent energy management system, the proportion of self-generated solar power in a four-person household can be increased from 30 to up to 75% or more - without having to change consumption behaviour. Due to fast high charging and discharging, the device ensures supply of the household electricity from the internal photovoltaic system even during the day. If photovoltaic production suddenly falls, then these energy requirements are also covered by electricity from the storage system.

The string inverters are equipped with RFID technology for fast and error-free commissioning. The company’s e.World communication system simplifies the planning, installation and monitoring of photovoltaic systems via the e.key, a credit-card-sized storage card. e.World also offers the installer and operator numerous access opportunities through the innovative networking of solar inverters with the peripheral devices. The e.World internet portal is available to installers to provide the range of component and performance data relating to the system at all times. It also provides opportunities to communicate with the inverter via a smart phone using the e.World app.
