Having established a strong foothold in the Australian solar market photovoltaics panel, Chinese manufacturer JinkoSolar is now looking to expand its influence in the energy storage space. With the launch of the modular Suntank home battery storage system.
JinkoSolar has launched its SunTank modular home battery system in Australia. A lithium iron phosphate storage solution sized for everyday residential use. And it is mainly designed to be combined with solar panel system.
JinkoSolar's Suntank energy storage system is aimed at the home market.
JinkoSolar said the battery energy storage system can support from 2,56 kWh to 25,6 kWh with a single-phase hybrid inverter and can provide an output power of 5,1 kW. Each individual unit measures 650mm x 260mm x 185mm and weighs 28kg. With IP65 protection, the Suntank has an operating temperature range of -10 C to +50 C. The company also said the product, which is backed by a 10-year product warranty, is designed to ensure fast and flexible deployment and is suitable for mounting on wall and floor.
JinkoSolar said the Suntank system offers AC and DC coupling methods to realize multi-directional energy interaction between PV modules, batteries and the grid. It can provide backup power in case of grid outages. “Due to the instability of the electricity grid, supply shortages continue to exist in some areas of Australia. The energy storage trend becomes important as a measure in this situation,” the company said. If the mains is lost, the system will switch to backup mode and AC output is provided through the emergency power supply (EPS) load port. Using PV and battery power.
JinkoSolar APAC director Thomas Bywater said the Suntank system provides an efficient solution for homeowners who want to implement efficient residential energy management. Contributing to reducing costs, managing demand and maximizing self-consumption of energy production. As one of the most mature markets photovoltaic in the world, we believe energy storage will become an integral part of the Australian market, he said.
