Outback Power Systems The PS1 System Grid-tie Solar with Battery Backup |
Introducing the new PS1, a revolution for grid-tie solar with battery backup. Designed with an emphasis on performance, ease of installation, and low maintenance we have eliminated all concerns about batteries in grid-tie systems. If you are considering adding a grid-tied solar system to your home or business, incorporating battery backup is common sense. Thanks to the advanced engineering you have come to expect from OutBack, the PS1 system performs within 5% of the industry leading battery-less grid-tie inverter in side-by-side “real world” testing. This translates into more money savings when using net metering. The same field proven MPPT technology found in the MX60 solar charge controller is featured in the PS1. This gives the system the ability to use your PV array at its peak output. Uninterrupted AC power is provided by the system’s true sinewave inverter that has an industry leading, California Energy Commission (CEC), certified efficiency of 91%-thus guaranteeing that your household appliances run seamlessly while utilizing all available solar power. The recommended AGM batteries are maintained and charged by an innovative OutBack multi-stage charging process, which assists in providing reliable back-up power and a battery life up to 10 years. All fears about the complexity of grid-tie solar with battery backup are eliminated thanks to our “install ready” design. The PS1 system is a factory wired solution with a complete ETL listing. The type 3R rainproof construction ensures that there is plenty of flexibility in where you choose to install the PS1. |
The PS1 system uses sealed AGM type batteries (not included)- eliminating the need for periodic watering. OutBack’s advanced charge control algorithm and smart battery management techniques allow for battery life to exceed 10 years in most grid-tie back-up applications. The system’s battery back-up is a silent and hands-off alternative to noisy and maintenance intensive generators. Designed with an emphasis on performance, the PS1 systems operates similarly to standard solar inverters but with the unique benefit of uninterrupted power during utility outages. Like every OutBack Power product, the PS1 is rugged. All components are protected within an aluminum type 3R rainproof enclosure. An ultra-fast 16 millisecond transfer switch guarantees that even sensitive back-up loads, like computers, never know when a grid outage occurs. The ETL listed system is pre-wired by OutBack engineers to ensure that the PS1 system works reliably for years to come. A standard 5-year warranty provides peace of mind and satisfies state rebate requirements. High performance, battery back-up, and proven OutBack engineering makes the PS1 system the only choice for a premium grid interactive solar power system.
