With a focus on technology and innovation, the Ilumisol announced that it is expanding your customer base, offering new features in its mix of products and services for the Brazilian market.
Among the highlights are the microinverters, equipped with advanced technology features such as individual remote monitoring of photovoltaic modules and greater tolerance to shading.
Furthermore, the company emphasized that the equipment has one of the highest efficiency on the market, specialized technical assistance and installation and quick exchange in case of maintenance if necessary.
Regarding remote monitoring of s, the feature allows s to have detailed information in real time about the performance of each . This way, it is possible to identify specific problems or drops in efficiency, facilitating maintenance and diagnosing possible failures.
Shade tolerance
According to the manufacturer, unlike traditional inverters, which are strongly negatively affected by shadows on just one , Ilumisol microinverters have a design that minimizes the impact of shadows on the entire system, thus ensuring maximum energy generation, even in partial shading conditions.
“High energy efficiency is one of the main differentiators of Ilumisol microinverters. Advanced conversion technology maximizes the amount of energy generated by photovoltaic modules and contributes to long-term cost reduction”, they highlighted.
Hybrid system
Matheus do Carmo, R&D analyst at Ilumisol, explained about this new option that arrives in the company's catalog: “The solar hybrid system is mainly formed by four elements: hybrid inverter, modules, electrical network and batteries. Its installation is very similar to the conventional system, the big difference is that next to the photovoltaic system we have batteries”.
“The inverter is capable of managing the energy supply needed both for the load, which can be a home or an industry, and for the batteries, controlling their charging and discharging as necessary,” he added.
According to him, this is a system connected to the electrical grid (on-grid) integrated with an energy storage system. “Both for nighttime periods and in cases of power outages, the batteries guarantee autonomy and savings for the customer.”
“It is important to consider that the battery autonomy time is proportional to the size of the battery bank. The larger the battery bank, the more energy available you will have”, said Carmo.
Installation and maintenance
According to Ilumisol, the process of installing the hybrid photovoltaic system is practically the same as the others, however it is necessary to provide an environment for storing the batteries next to the inverter.
This place must have air circulation and be protected from rain – humidity. “A confined space is not recommended, there must be air circulation and protection against water ingress,” said the specialist.
“The consumer counts on the autonomy of the batteries in the event of a power outage from the concessionaire and in the same way that the traditional photovoltaic system receives maintenance, the hybrid would be no different. However, care in maintaining a hybrid photovoltaic system also extends to the battery bank”, he reported.
Off-grid photovoltaic system
The company also emphasized that with the arrival of the hybrid system in the Ilumisol portfolio, the sizing of off-grid photovoltaic systems is made possible. Due to the integration of the battery and hybrid inverter, it is possible to have a system that provides uninterrupted energy, even at night.
The R&D analyst explained that the off-grid system is identical to the conventional one, but does not need the grid to function, guaranteeing autonomy to the .
“We are talking, for example, about islands where energy cannot be reached or farms extremely far from large centers that do not have energy, so through this system we have a guaranteed electricity supply”, he concluded.
