1. INTRODUCTION
The PowerPod 2 is a high-performance fully integrated home energy
storage, management, and monitoring system powered by LFP (cobalt-
free) batteries. The product includes a hybrid solar/battery inverter
controlled by intelligent software. It comes in both whole home and
partial-home backup. Whole home backup has two options for the
solar connection, 1) the AC option which keeps the solar connected
directly to the load and 2) the DC-coupled option which connects solar
directly to the PowerPod 2 inverter.
All PowerPod 2 models manage grid and backup power from PV
panels, batteries, and the utility. When the PV panels generate
enough power, the system will support the backup load, charge the
batteries and feed back to the grid all at the same time. When the
power generated by the PV panels is not sucient to support the
backup load, the inverter takes power from either the batteries or
the utility depending on the mode the homeowner has selected. For
multi-day grid outages the system will resupply power to the home
by restarting from solar each day and solar charge the batteries even
if the batteries were completely drained and system shut down the
previous day. PowerPod 2 comes in dierent inverter and battery sizes
and configurations to match your energy and backup needs. There are
six Inverters models ranging from 5000 to 9600 W and three batteries
sizes; 10, 15 and 20 kWh.
