Apex PowerStar 10H Ongrid inverter, 8kVA/10kVA, 48VDC

The POWERSTAR 10H offers a range of benefits that make it a versatile and efficient energy management solution. Engineered to excel in challenging environments and handle high loads, it ensures reliability even in adverse conditions. Its design prioritises energy efficiency, helping users optimise power consumption.

One of its standout features is its bidirectional capability, allowing it to manage power flow in both directions, which is particularly valuable for integrating renewable energy sources and energy storage systems. Additionally, the inverter includes an automatic generation start function, a valuable feature for off-grid systems, enabling it to autonomously activate and deactivate generators as needed to maintain a stable power supply.

The Export Power Control feature prevents power from flowing back into the grid, preventing unwanted tripping of meters and ensuring grid stability. The inverter is configured as a single-phase transformer-based system, which can be advantageous for various applications. With a low-voltage DC operation at 48 volts, it offers flexibility and safety.

While NRS097-2-1:2017 compliance is pending, indicating a commitment to industry standards, the inverter already includes a built-in CAN port for communication with a Battery Management System (BMS), facilitating seamless integration into larger energy management setups. Furthermore, the inclusion of built-in remote monitoring enhances user convenience by allowing real-time monitoring and control of the system.

In summary, the POWERSTAR 10H stands out for its robustness, energy efficiency, bidirectional capability, automatic generator management, export power control, compliance with industry standards, and advanced communication features. These benefits make it a reliable and adaptable choice for a wide range of energy management applications.

APEX PowerStar 10H Ongrid Inverter is utilized in the residential sector: Typical Off-grid or Self-consumption Application Typical Grid-tied Application Basic Generator or Load Control

Typical Ongrid or Self-consumption Application

The PowerStar 10H Ongrid inverter is ideal for off-grid installations where the renewable source of power is fed directly into the batteries. The PowerStar 10H Ongrid converts the battery power into clean AC power that the load can use. The built-in battery charging function allows the use of a backup generator or the grid without the need for external battery chargers. The PowerStar 10H Ongrid can be configured to maximise self-consumption of renewable power by disconnecting from the grid during specified times, enabling optimal use of all available renewable power.

Typical Grid-tied Application

The PowerStar 10H Ongrid inverter will act as a backup supply to provide power from the batteries in the event of a grid failure. Installing a solar PV inverter on the load side will allow efficient use of solar energy and any excess generated power will automatically be used to charge the batteries or be exported to the grid.

Basic Generator or Load Control

In off-grid systems, the PowerStar 10H Ongrid inverter can automatically start the generator when the battery voltage is low or an overload occurs. The PowerStar 10H Ongrid synchronises with the generator before connecting the load smoothly. When the charge cycle is complete, or when the overload disappears, the PowerStar 10H Ongrid will turn off the generator and transition smoothly back to stand-alone mode.

The product conforms to the following compliance standards:
