TABUCHI AMERICA’S NEXT GENERATION
SOLAR-PLUS-STORAGE SYSTEM DEBUTS WITH UL 9540 CERTIFICATION
COMPLIANT ALL-IN-ONE SYSTEM
New smart inverter and battery package
future-proofs residential solar-plus-energy storage systems through
compliance with latest regulations and independent
certification
Tabuchi America, the world’s leading residential hybrid
solar-plus-storage manufacturer, announced today the launch of its
Next Generation Eco-Intelligent Battery System (EIBS). The
all-in-one system is compliant with the UL 9540 certification
requirements, which provides third-party validation of safety,
reliability, and efficient energy management for hybrid
solar-plus-storage systems. Tabuchi’s grid-friendly system includes
a high efficiency inverter, stackable batteries and integration
with GELI software for the most adaptable battery
storage system on the market.
“As interest in energy storage grows in the residential sector,
attention to safety regulations is more important than ever, not
just to protect the safety of people and property, but also to
expedite the permitting process,” said Harumi McClure, COO and
President of Tabuchi America. “We’re pleased to receive the UL 9540
certification compliance on our highly-efficient Next Generation
EIBS. The system is designed for adaptability and ease of
installation with a direct current (DC) coupled battery. This
maximizes the amount of solar energy utilized by the system and
safely provides solar power to the grid, and to residential
customers during power outages.”
While there are many efforts to develop and apply safety
standards for the rapidly evolving energy storage industry, the UL
9540 certification compliance is limited to a relatively small
number of energy storage manufacturers. The standard certifies
Tabuchi’s Next Generation EIBS as a home energy storage system that
interacts safely with the UL 1741 requirements certified hybrid
inverter.
Consumers get more out of their system because both the
battery’s bi-directional converter and the solar inverter are
DC-coupled. This allows the energy generated by the solar panels to
directly charge the batteries without first converting to
alternating current (AC) like most storage systems. This leads to
higher system efficiency through one fewer DC-AC inversion.
The modular stackable battery system is key for customers with
larger homes, as well as those who are looking to utilize the
system for backup power. The increased storage capacity can help
customers keep the critical electrical loads operational longer
during a blackout. It also lowers their energy bills by reducing
the amount of electricity purchased from the grid during peak hours
when prices are highest and/or when utilities levy additional
charges. Added surge capability enables the EIBS system to power
motor-driven loads such as water pumps, which have a higher
starting load, allowing greater integration within the home.
