In a self-consumption photovoltaic system including a storage section, the solar battery plays an important role. Two types of batteries are most commonly used: lithium and lead acid ones.

Lead-acid batteries, used for decades (GEL, AGM, OpZs, OpZv, VRLA…) are giving way to lithium batteries, lighter, with higher energy densities and longer life spans.

When designing your photovoltaic installation which includes a solar battery, it is important to ensure compatibility of the chosen storage system with the IMEON inverter. The management of a lithium solar battery is complex and requires a development effort to assure that the communication between the battery BMS and the IMEON EMS is effective. Without such communication, the use of a lithium solar battery presents significant risks (explosions, fires …).

IMEON hybrid inverter

IMEON hybrid solar inverters technology is the all-in-one solution for true multi-source energy management. Consuming the produced solar power directly, storing it in batteries for later use or for the event of a power failure, injecting to or consuming from the grid only if necessary, is now possible.

IMEON solar inverters are a concentrate of technology and innovation. The implementation of an artificial intelligence allows IMEON to understand its environment and to adapt its energy management strategy while respecting the objectives of the user: autonomy, lowering the energy bill, securing the power supply…

IMEON solar inverter for self-consumption is the heart of your solar system. IMEON displays a genuine consciousness as it learns, predicts, anticipates and adapts its operation using machine learning processes, aiming to make the best choices to increase your autonomy. IMEON is the only inverter that anticipates the future. Its unparalleled capabilities, unique in the market, allow it to constantly evolve and accommodate new features, thus increasing its profitability.

Photovoltaic panels

Solar photovoltaic panels, also called photovoltaic modules, are built using interconnected solar cells, placed in series. In the very essence they convert sunlight into electricity.
The efficiency of photovoltaic panels, which may be otherwise described as rate at which the panels produce electricity under sunlight, is fundamental and depends heavily on the technology of solar cell fabrication. One can distinguish different types of cells that are most commonly used to build photovoltaic solar panels:
– The panels made of mono-crystalline silicon cells offering about 20% efficiency. Those panels are usually more expensive but with long guaranteed lifetime.
– The panels made of poly-crystalline silicon cells offering about 15% efficiency. Less expensive than the monocrystalline counterpart, also come with shorter expected lifetime.
