The Growatt APX battery system is a modular high-voltage battery storage system with cobalt-free LiFePO4 technology that can be flexibly expanded from 5 kWh to 30 kWh. It is particularly suitable for private households and small businesses that want to efficiently store and use their solar energy.
How flexible is the expansion of the Growatt APX battery system?
The system consists of up to six storage modules that can be combined to form a battery tower. Each tower requires a separate power module for operation. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be easily expanded step by step – tailored to individual energy needs.
What advantages does modular construction offer?
The modular and stackable design eliminates the need for an expensive battery cabinet solution. Only a battery base is required for secure support. Furthermore, the system supports the combination of new and old battery modules of different capacities.
How does the Growatt APX battery system ensure safety and longevity?
The system features a four-stage protection mechanism, provided by the integrated battery management system (BMS), modular energy optimization, fuses, and aerosol protection. This increases the safety, reliability, and service life of the system.
What is the soft start mechanism and what function does it have?
Soft start protects the system from overvoltages by gradually increasing the power supply during startup or battery activation. This prevents voltage spikes and ensures safe, smooth operation.
How does modular energy optimization work in the APX battery system?
Each battery module is individually monitored and optimized to extract maximum energy from each module. This ensures high efficiency, regardless of whether the system is grid-tied or operated as an off-grid system.
What installation options are available for the Growatt APX battery system?
The system is primarily designed for floor mounting and requires an additional base. Wall mounting is described in the manual but is not currently available. A stable surface and good ventilation around the battery are essential.
Can the Growatt APX battery system be combined with other systems?
Yes, the APX battery system works optimally with the Growatt APX Power Module and Battery Base, which are sold separately, to form a complete energy storage system.
What environmental and sustainability benefits does the Growatt APX battery system offer?
The cobalt-free LiFePO4 chemistry makes the system more environmentally friendly and safer. Furthermore, efficient solar energy storage contributes to reducing grid dependency and more sustainable energy consumption.
