INSIGHTS 2018 73PHOTOVOLTAIC INVERTER WITH INTEGRATED
ENERGY STORAGE
ABB’s residential energy storage system REACT (Renewable Energy Ac-
cumulator and Conversion Technology) allows home owners and landlords
to store any excess energy produced by their PV installation during peak
times for periods with higher energy demands.
The solution consists of a 4.6 kW or 3.6 kW, respectively, single-phase ABB
inverter and a lithium-ion battery providing 2 kWh of usable energy. Due to its
dual MPPTs, broad input voltage ranges and high efficiencies, the integrated
inverter offers maximum installation flexibility for optimal energy harvesting.
The energy storage system has been designed for a long life cycle with a 10-year expected life of the
battery. The solution can also be expanded by additional battery modules to up to 6 kWh of usage energy.
Due to the integrated Ethernet port, the energy storage system allows for remote or local monitoring without
requiring any additional interfaces.
Highlights include: the REACT-3.6/4.6-TL (Renewable Energy Accumulator and Conversion Technology) is
a PV single-phase grid connected inverter able to store energy in a 2.0 kWh useful capacity Li-Ion battery
integrated within the same product enclosure, expandable up to 3 x; all features found in the family of string
inverters are maintained, including double fast MPPT, broad input voltage range, top class efficiency with
TL topology, compactness and installation flexibility; and up to four onboard load management outputs are
included as well as an auxiliary AC back-up output for off-grid capability in case of a blackout.
