Benefits

  • Reduce Energy Costs

    Get the most out of free solar energy and avoid spiraling diesel generation costs or expensive grid charges.

  • Gain Grid Independence

    Stay prepared for power outages and protect essential appliances against grid fluctuations.

  • Lower Carbon Emissions

    Shrink your carbon footprint and help curtail air pollution.

  • Increase Home Value

    Raise the real estate value of your home with the addition of solar energy storage systems.

  • Manage with Ease

    Monitor operation status and customize settings in real-time with your phone.

Note: The solar inverter charger module of the DC Home app is currently under development and will be available soon.

How It Works

  • In the daytime, batteries store the excess energy generated by solar panels.

  • During evening peak hours, power household appliances with the energy pre-stored in batteries.

  • At night, charge batteries using a generator or inexpensive off-peak grid power.

Wiring Diagram

Roof Mounting System

The roof mounting system fixes solar panels on roofs and provides necessary structural support.

Buy Roof Mounting System

Solar Panel

The solar panel utilizes sunlight as a source of energy and generates DC electricity.

Buy Solar Panel

Combiner Box

The combiner box combines the DC electricity from multiple strings of solar panels and houses the DC circuit breakers for each string of solar panels to enable individual circuit disconnection in the event of maintenance or an overcurrent condition and a surge protection device to protect against electrical spikes.

AC Distribution Panel

The AC distribution panel divides the AC electricity from the solar inverter charger, the grid and/or the generator and houses the AC circuit breakers for each branch circuit to enable individual circuit disconnection in the event of maintenance or an overcurrent condition.

DC Home App

The DC Home app enables the configuration, monitoring, and diagnosis of the solar inverter charger and the smart lithium iron phosphate battery through the Bluetooth connection.

DC Circuit Breaker Box

The DC circuit breaker box houses the DC circuit breakers for the solar inverter charger and the smart lithium iron phosphate batteries to enable circuit disconnection in the event of maintenance or an overcurrent condition, a ground fault circuit interrupter to break the circuit in the event of a ground fault, and a surge protection device to protect against electrical spikes.

Solar Inverter Charger

The solar inverter charger manages the DC electricity delivered to the smart lithium iron phosphate batteries from the solar panels, converts the AC electricity from the grid or a generator into DC electricity to charge the smart lithium iron phosphate batteries, and converts the DC electricity from the smart lithium iron phosphate batteries into AC electricity to power home appliances.
