Storage architectures matched to your project

NAPCO materials describe DC-coupled industrial concepts and AC-coupled retrofits for existing solar plants.

Use cases

Peak shaving
Store energy at the right time and use it at peak demand to manage the power drawn from the grid. Savings depend on the tariff and the load profile.

- JUPAR
- HEZAR
Solar self-consumption
Use solar generation at other hours than when it is produced, within the battery capacity and the energy-management strategy.
Suited products
Backup for critical loads
Storage and switching designed to keep defined loads supplied. Backup duration depends on the load power and the actual usable capacity.
Suited products
Microgrids and multi-source coordination
Coordinated control of solar, grid, battery and, where needed, a diesel generator, designed around the needs of the project.

Retrofit storage for existing PV
An independent storage branch added on the AC side of an existing plant, after the connection and protection have been checked for compatibility.

Energy time shifting
Energy stored during generation or purchase periods and discharged in a controlled way when it is needed. The economics depend on operating conditions.

Reference architecture

Battery, solar input and grid supply connect to one integrated unit that powers the loads and provides backup.

Suited products:HUDI Series

Reference architecture

Solar panels connect to a DC bus through MPPT. The battery sits on the DC side, and the PCS manages power for the AC load or grid.

* 950V DC and 400V AC appear in this design example, not as fixed product specifications.

Reference architecture

Storage with its own PCS connects as an independent branch on the AC side of the existing solar plant's bus or grid connection.

Reference architecture

In the reference architecture, PV, generator, grid and load are monitored and managed by the PCS and EMS.
