LANGHORNE, PA — Pennsylvania-based energy storage company Fortress Power has successfully marked its entry into the high-voltage residential market. The company celebrated this significant milestone with the installation of its first residential Avalon High Voltage Energy Storage System (HV ESS) on December 21st. This venture underlines Fortress Power’s dedication to innovative and sustainable energy solutions for both installers and homeowners.
The Avalon HV ESS, meticulously designed to cater to the evolving needs of contemporary residences, sets a new precedent in the residential energy storage sector. Boasting high efficiency, reliability, and user-friendliness, the system is poised to revolutionize residential energy storage installation.
A New Benchmark in Energy Storage
“With the Avalon HV ESS, we are reaffirming our unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Jing Yu, CEO and Founder of Fortress Power. “This venture into the high voltage residential market is a testament to our ability to adapt to the changing energy landscape.”
The Avalon system integrates a Smart Energy Panel, a customizable battery stack, and an inverter. It offers several key features that include:
- High-Voltage Efficiency: The system operates at 200~300V at the DC terminal, closely matching PV array voltage and reducing the need for DC-to-DC conversion. This enhances overall operational efficiency by approximately 6-8%.
- Simplified Installation: With an integrated smart load panel, pre-installed AC coupling circuit, and easy EV charger installation, the Avalon system simplifies setup for homeowners and installers alike.
- Advanced Load Management: The Smart Energy Panel can intelligently manage multiple circuits, providing flexible whole-home backup without requiring a dedicated emergency power panel.
- All-in-One App Integration: The Fortress Power Keystone EMS app allows for comprehensive monitoring of all energy flows, making maintenance and energy management simpler for installers and homeowners.
- Versatile Applications: The system is suitable for large and small projects, inside or outside, and with DC or AC coupling. Its versatility makes it applicable to any type of residential project.
A Real-World Success
The first residential installation of the Avalon System in the Greater Philadelphia Area has been met with enthusiasm from system installers who praised the simplicity of the system and ease of commissioning which took less than five minutes. The homeowners are already reaping the benefits of a more resilient, efficient, and intelligent energy management system.
Moreover, the Avalon system can be turned into a revenue source for homeowners through the EnergyBroker program by selling surplus energy into wholesale markets. This not only shortens the payback period but also contributes to a more resilient and efficient power grid.
With this successful foray into the high-voltage residential market, Fortress Power is setting the stage for a new era of energy storage, proving once again its prowess as a trailblazer in the industry.
