EcoFlow has launched its latest OCEAN 2 series ESS for 3-phase residential prosumers
It is equipped with 3.4 kWh battery units, while the cumulative storage capacities can be scaled up to 60 kWh
The ESS is commercially available in Germany and the Netherlands
A US-based solar-plus-storage solutions provider, EcoFlow, has introduced its EcoFlow OCEAN 2 series residential energy storage solution (ESS), targeting Germany and the Netherlands.
This ESS comprises a 3-phase hybrid inverter and vertically stacked LFP battery units in a metal enclosure. The hybrid inverter, which acts as a central power conversion system, integrates PV and battery input on a common platform. It is equipped with 3 MPPT channels that can connect with a PV array of up to 24 kW. It helps in extrapolating PV power output in real-time insolation with respect to standard test conditions (STC) at an irradiance of 1,000 W/m² and an ambient temperature of 25°C.
On the storage side, it comprises batteries with a lifespan of up to 10,000 cycles and a discharging capacity of up to 3.4 kWh. In terms of scalability, up to 17 ‘modular’ batteries can be vertically integrated with a cumulative storage capacity of 60 kWh. The company states that it is also compatible with a mix of new and old batteries, enabling future expansion without replacing the inverter.
According to the company, this ESS is currently available in Germany and the Netherlands.
