Company Announcement - In a joint effort KACO new energy and Saft offer a storage solution for residential and small commercial solar PV installations. KACO new energy GmbH and Saft are offering a new, highly flexible storage solution by combining two of their latest products: the blueplanet gridsave 14.0 TL3 three-phase bidirectional battery inverter and the Intensium® Home 10M lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. This package creates the perfect solution for home and commercial "prosumers" keen to maximize their self-consumption.

The blueplanet gridsave 14.0 TL3 can be coupled to many AC sources, such as the inverters of photovoltaic systems in order to store electrical energy, while the Intensium Home 10M comprises five Li-ion modules to provide both high power capability, rated at 10 kW, with 10 kWh energy storage in an aesthetically designed cabinet. Together they are ideally suited in photovoltaic installations up to 30 kW. This combination ensures the maximum efficiency, power and lifetime of Li-ion batteries with maximum comfort as prosumers will be able to follow their system's performance on their smartphones.

In addition to enhanced self-consumption, this combination offers advanced energy management with the capability to operate as part of swarm-type schemes. These swarms offer the possibility of aggregating several decentralised energy storage installations to improve grid stability by helping balance supply and demand, as well as offering financially attractive ancillary services to grid operators such as frequency control. The smart energy management system enables remote control of the storage device via Internet or other communication interfaces, for example to switch from self-consumption to frequency regulation.
