Unlike the usu­al string invert­er sys­tem, our PV sys­tem has no dan­ger­ous DC volt­ages what­so­ev­er. Stan­dard PV sys­tems for home­won­ers have a sys­tem volt­age of up to 1,000 volts run­ning over the roof and down to the string-invert­er inside the house. This high volt­age can pro­voke arc­ing on faulty or cor­rod­ed plug con­nec­tions or on con­nec­tions made man­u­al­ly dur­ing instal­la­tion, which in the worst case can cause a fire. More­over, the volt­age can­not be switched off — not even in the event of a fire — thus com­pli­cat­ing the work of fire­fight­ers, pos­ing a dan­ger to them and the building.

With the Solar­na­tive PV sys­tem, you are always on the safe side, since the direct cur­rent gen­er­at­ed by the PV mod­ule is con­vert­ed into alter­nat­ing cur­rent right at the source. Arc­ing can­not occur in an AC sys­tem, so there’s no need to wor­ry about a fire caused by your PV plant. The entire sys­tem — on the roof and inside your home — has only 230 volts, i.e. the nor­mal Euro­pean grid volt­age. Besides that, your Solar­na­tive PV sys­tem does not pose a risk if there is a house fire of a dif­fer­ent cause: as soon as the sys­tem is dis­con­nect­ed from the house grid, for exam­ple by means of the safe­ty switch or because a cable has melt­ed in the heat of the fire and caused a short cir­cuit, the invert­ers switch off auto­mat­i­cal­ly and the fire­fight­ers can do their work with­out hindrance.

The Solar­na­tive Smart Ener­gy Home is a mod­u­lar sys­tem that can eas­i­ly be expand­ed at a lat­er point in time — whether you want to add more capac­i­ty on your roof, expand to fur­ther areas such as your car­port, or add an elec­tric vehi­cle charg­ing sta­tion or bat­tery stor­age to your sys­tem. There is no lim­i­ta­tion to the num­ber of devices in your Solar­na­tive sys­tem, so you can adapt it to your needs at any time.

The Solar­na­tive Smart Ener­gy Home is com­pli­ant with the world’s strictest reg­u­la­tions regard­ing grid sup­port func­tion­al­i­ty, and it is designed to be ready for future appli­ca­tions and tech­nolo­gies: we com­bine intel­li­gent grid ser­vices with smart func­tion­al­i­ties such as con­sum­ing and stor­ing pow­er pre­dom­i­nant­ly at times it is cheap and abun­dant­ly avail­able. You will be able to use vehi­cle-to-home bidi­rec­tion­al charg­ing, and your bat­tery and elec­tric vehi­cle can become active play­ers in the ener­gy sys­tem of the future. We con­sid­er our tech­nol­o­gy an inte­gral part of the green ener­gy tran­si­tion into a cli­mate-neu­tral future. Let us take you on the journey!
