EcoFlow has launched its latest OCEAN 2 series ESS for 3-phase residential prosumers
It is equipped with 5 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. This inverter, which supports up to 3 MPPT channels, is designed for up to 200% oversizing (DC/AC), connecting a PV array of up to 24 kW. These MPPTs extrapolate maximum PV power based on real-time insolation relative to standard test conditions(STC) at an irradiance of 1,000 W/m² and an ambient temperature of 25°C. In addition, the oversizing enables the inverter to harvest solar energy, even in low-light conditions, resulting in maximized PV self-consumption.
On the storage side, the ESS comprises battery units, each of 5 kWh storage and up to 3.4 kW nominal discharge capacity (DC). In terms of scalability, up to 12 batteries per inverter 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.
