OutBack Power Residential Inverters

5.0 kW SKYBOX

In a world of changing energy needs, complex utility rates and growing grid instability, SkyBox goes beyond both simple grid-tied and off-grid designs by creating an entirely new class of renewable energy system — a True Hybrid Energy System. By combining the economic benefits of a grid-tied system with all the independence and self-sufficiency of an off-grid system, SkyBox redefines simplicity, intelligence, flexibility and control.

Simplicity

  • Fast and easy install, similar to grid-tied inverters
  • Fully integrated design eliminates external charge controllers and communication boxes
  • Remotely connected controls and monitoring available

Resilience

  • Extensive quality and reliability testing, including Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT)
  • Dynamic power management with the ability to support any new regulations
  • Compliant with California rule 21 and Hawaii 14H grid support requirements
  • Acceptance where the utility does not allow power to be fed back to the grid (Net-zero Export)
  • Renewable Energy Credit (REC) monitoring for added revenue from participating utilities

Intelligence

  • Backup power and support for time-of-use optimization
  • Energy management based on time-of-use and demand charge rate structures to reduce total energy costs
  • Measures and controls power to and from any connection point (utility, solar, battery, generator and load)
  • Dynamically optimizes energy distribution, consumption, and utilization

Adaptability

  • Install SkyBox now and add energy storage later with no retro-fitting of the PV system or AC coupling
  • Can be AC coupled to any existing inverter on the market
  • Use for on-grid and off-grid applications
  • Ability to size storage system and AC output to customer’s needs
  • Fully integrates to residential generators

8.0 kW RADIAN INVERTER

The Radian Series Grid/Hybrid™ (full-flexibility grid-interactive/off-grid) Inverter/Charger is engineered toward one goal: making system design and installation easier and faster in grid-interactive and comprehensive off-grid applications. The new Radian Series inherit the hallmark features of the original design, including: dual AC inputs for grid/generator flexibility with no external switching required, unparalleled surge capability and operational stability, easy field upgradeability and stacking capability for large system scaling, simplified system commissioning through a powerful, easy-to-use configuration wizard, and multi-mode operational flexibility.

Performance

  • Seven operating modes (mini grid, grid-tied, grid zero, support, backup, ups, generator)
  • Advanced battery charging capabilities enable system designers to accommodate specific charging profiles and algorithms

Reliability

  • Enhanced diagnostics for improved performance
  • Inverter/charger specifically geared toward comprehensive off-grid applications and other complex utility environments

Value

  • New grid zero mode provides the perfect balance between utility power and stored renewable energy
  • GridZero operation makes it possible for a smaller inverter and battery system to perform like a much larger one when required by putting stored and renewable energy sources to work and minimizing grid dependence

System Flexibility

  • Can be bundled with different battery chemistries
  • Can be AC coupled to any existing inverter on the market
  • For us with on-grid and off-grid applications
  • Ability to size storage system and AC output to customer’s needs
