While battery storage is increasingly attractive to homeowners, the real unlock lies in helping installers streamline design, installation, and commissioning.
In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll focus on low-voltage, AC-coupled residential storage solutions and how they can simplify workflows, enhance system performance, and reduce installation time.
Christopher Ling, Applications Engineering Manager, from APsystem, will share insights on the architectural and technical value of their AC-coupled approach, as well as how this setup supports broader system flexibility and future upgrades. Chris will also offer guidance on how to work with their recently released battery charger platform with some tips for installers.
This session is focused on practical, installer-first takeaways: how to design smarter systems, reduce complexity on-site, and deliver value to customers without adding unnecessary integration hurdles.
