<p>The Varta.hybrid.wall solution integrates an inverter, battery storage, energy management in a single system configuration. The approach enables installers to configure flexible, scalable packages across a range of system sizes and performance classes.</p>
<p>All components are “Made in Europe” and are technically compatible, the company said.</p>
<p>The solution combines the <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/08/28/varta-launches-varta-wall-dc-high-voltage-battery/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Varta.wall DC high-voltage storage system</a> with the new Varta.hybrid three-phase inverter, which delivers up to 10 kW of power and features four MPP trackers.</p>
<p>Varta said the system is suitable for both new installations and retrofits of existing PV systems, and can be deployed as either an AC- or DC-coupled solution. Available storage capacity ranges from 4.5 kWh to 20 kWh and can be expanded depending on the customers' needs. The modular design also supports larger installations via cascading.</p>
<p>With Varta.hybrid.wall, the system can provide three-phase backup power from the storage unit. In the event of a fault, the external Varta.backupswitch automatically disconnects the home network from the public grid.</p>
<p>The optional Varta.iq energy management system is manufacturer-independent and compatible with up to 700 systems, enabling the integration of all household energy components. Features include dynamic electricity price optimization, bidirectional charging and cascade control.</p>
<p>Varta added that installation times have been reduced through the use of plug-in components and pre-assembled connections. Commissioning is carried out via the Varta.install app, while system monitoring and management are handled through the company’s online portal.</p>
