In December 2014 the company invested in a rooftop photovoltaic installation dedicated to self-consumption. Over the years, 20% of the production of the solar installation was consumed on site and 80% was injected into the public grid.
The addition of an X-Trem ESS has enabled Agrimess to be 100% energy-autonomous.
The X-Trem ESS installed in this building integrates an 86.4kWh battery. The owner plans to disconnect completely from the public grid next year.
IMEON ENERGY has been designing and assembling the X-Trem product range since the beginning of 2021 in Brittany, France. The ESS, supporting power ratings up to MW, meets the growing demands of industrial companies and building owners who wish to participate in the energy transition and reduce their electricity bills.
These new all-in-one solutions incorporate all the components required for a self-consumption solar installation with storage, such as power electronics, lithium batteries, electrical protection and a communication system for monitoring of the installation. The whole system is controlled by artificial intelligence to increase the amount of energy produced and the life of the system.
These components are integrated in a cabinet designed to be installed outdoors and has a temperature maintenance system able to adapt to the most extreme weather conditions.

Imeon Energy, the French leader in hybrid solar inverters, takes very seriously the main challenges of the 21st century: global warming as well as the limitation of natural resources. The main problem of renewable energies being the impossibility to produce in a constant way, Imeon Energy’s solutions integrate artificial intelligence that optimizes the management of flows, solar production and energy storage with Imeon hybrid technology.

Obtaining this label is a recognition of the work done by Imeon Energy’s R&D, development teams for the IMEON solar inverter technology and the integrated operating system “OS.ONE” as directly contributing to environmental protection.

This new range of products, developed by IMEON ENERGY in Brest, France, is designed for solar self-consumption installations in industry and the service sector. X-Trem ESS is suitable for installations up to MW in power and MWh in stored energy.

X-TREM ESS is an all-in-one system integrating power electronics (MPPT, PCS), energy storage (lithium batteries) and an energy management system (EMS). The solution is designed to be installed outdoors and is delivered assembled and ready to connect in order to limit the intervention of the teams in charge of the installation on site.

All components of the X-TREM ESS solution are integrated into a climate-controlled enclosure to allow for implementation in extreme weather conditions while ensuring optimal component life. X-TREM ESS also incorporates the OS.ONE operating system, using artificial intelligence algorithms to optimise the lifetime of the energy storage.

X-TREM ESS has a Back-Up function and also works for the electrification of isolated sites (with or without a generator).

Some advantages of the X-TREM ESS solution:

• Up to 10 years warranty on the complete solution
• Paralleling up to MW is possible
• Ultra-simplified installation
• Robust and weather resistant

 About IMEON ENERGY:

IMEON ENERGY has been active in the field of power electronics and energy conversion since 2013. The company develops smart solutions dedicated to photovoltaic installations for self-consumption with storage. IMEON solar hybrid inverters are available in more than 70 countries through a network of nearly 40 distributors.

Now, applications developed by IMEON ENERGY can manage batteries according to the seasons:

A “seasonal Cutoff” application has been designed for the OS. ONE OS and running on IMEON solar inverters allows installers and users to configure the depth of discharge (DOD) settings of solar batteries for each month of the year separately.

Why set depth of discharge parameters?

The Depth of Discharge (DOD) setting allows you to determine the maximum amount of energy that must be drawn from the battery before it is fully charged again. The availability of solar energy that can be used for charging is not uniform throughout the year.

In the northern hemisphere, any photovoltaic solar panel will perform better in June and July and worse in the winter months. At the same time, the demand for electricity produced by PV systems tends to increase in winter, as it can be used for heating or because people in households prefer to stay indoors more often. Therefore, in winter, a solar inverter may take several days to recharge a battery that would otherwise be recharged in one day in summer. Therefore, different depth of discharge settings, depending on the time of year, are needed to ensure that the battery is charged evenly throughout the year.

This depth of discharge setting has a significant effect on the life of the battery. The number of charge-discharge cycles a battery can withstand without loss of capacity depends on the depth of discharge setting: the less the battery is discharged, the longer it will last.

Reducing the DOD settings according to the season not only ensures that the battery is regularly fully charged, but also extends its life!

This unique feature is now available free of charge to IMEON solar inverter users and extends the life of the energy storage by up to 50%. This remarkable achievement reduces the cost of each kWh generated by a solar installation, as properly managed batteries rarely need to be replaced. The seasonal Cutoff application adds to the catalogue of applications already available on the OS. ONE platform integrated in IMEON solar inverters.

We’re happy to announce the partnership with a company which brings sales and technical competences to the table. We’re expecting that this affiliation will boost sales in Australia – says Antoine Mathieu, Director of Sales Department – The fact that Solar Energy Warehouse operates nationwide is an especially important factor, since this year Imeon Energy prepares the release of two new smart hybrid inverters intended for Australian customers. The wholesaler also carries Dyness batteries which are Imeon – compatible, which is convenient for installation companies looking for a one-stop energy storage solution supplier.

Solar Energy Warehouse’s vision is to offer affordable high-quality solar systems to the everyday Australian family. The partnership with Imeon allows to provide the Australian market with the best value battery energy storage systems. Australia has currently over 2.2 million homes with solar systems and forecast to increase by another million homes over the next 4 years. The latest Australian government incentives were announced and commence in February 2020. This will boost the uptake of solar and battery solutions nationally.
