AM Solar have installed the first Ingeteam Hybrid (1Play Sun Storage) inverter in SA.
Ingteam have 200 Mega Watts of solar power systems in SA (Grid-Tie Solar Farms, N.Cape), and have just introduced the battery inverters and AM SOLAR have had the pleasure to install the 1st one in Lonehill, Jhb.
Coupled with 12x 250W Yingli solar panels and 8x 100AH 12V Fiamm AGM batteries in a 96V nominal voltage system.
A little different from our usual design approach, but it performs extremely well, and the reduction in current (@96V) with the same power output is nice to work with.
We are very happy with this inverter stack, and we look forward to installing many more for our clients!!!

We Install an AXPERT "All-in-One" Inverter - Northriding, Jhb
So we have installed a few of these inverters tooooooo!
The Axpert is a lower-cost inverter manufactured in China.
GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY... but still an entry system to solar.
This inverter has no where close to the power and capability of the SMA, SchneiderE, Ingeteam or even the Imeon inverters.
Coupled with 4xYingli 250W solar panels and the Monbatt AGM batts, the owner (Mr. Oosthuizen) is very happy with his system.
He did start with the 2.4kWp inverter, but we are about to upgrade to the 4kWp equivalent and add additional solar panels.
He wants to add additional day-time loads to his system... to ensure no excess solar power is wasted.

My Solar Photovoltaic System - Is My Baby!!
Our Client (Lawrence) is very happy with his solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed by AM Solar.
"I no longer have to worry about irritating loadshedding or even if the local transformer blows and we have no power for a few days,,,, AND I am able to give something back to the environment", says Lawrence.
Using the world-leading inverter, the Schneider Electric XW+ Hybrid Inverter (7kW) and Schneider Electric MPPT 60A Charge Controller, with 250W Yingli solar panels and the Fiamm AGM Gell batteries.

Safari Lodge near Thabazimbi - Mini Solar Farm + Priority Backup
Game Lodge and Game Breeding Farm near Thabazimbi needed Self Power generation capability and load shedding protection for Guest and Mission Critical operations on the farm.
AM Solar have designed and installed a Solar Power Plant that will generate all the farms power needs and supplied a number of independent battery backup systems for the various needs on the farm.
The Main Solar Plant is a mini-Solar Farm, or a Grid-Tied Photovoltaic (PV) Facility Ground Mounted that will inject current into the farm's transformer feed for Self-Consumption. This plant is easily expandable for future upscale needs.
Using Yingli Solar 300W Poly-Crystalline solar panels and ABB Grid-Tie inverters
The battery management inverters, controllers and monitoring are a combination of Schneider Electric, ABB and Cotek technologies with various AGM and Flooded Lead-Acid battery technologies.

Parkhurst Goes with SchneiderE + Yingli Solar
This Parkhurst, Johannesburg client has chosen to go with the incredible power of the Schneider Electric XW+ Inverter and Yingli Solar Combination of solar technologies.
Using the NXT AGM Batts.
System in Enhanced Grid-Support configuration (SchneiderE XW+ programming):
- Batteries in Standby
- Solar Power Priority:
1. Re-charge Batteries
2. Supply Load
3. Excess = Sell to Grid
- Using 20% of available Batt power to Load
- Blend available solar + Batt power, with remainder via Grid
Contact AM SOLAR for more information

!Surviving Loadshedding! Home/Home Office [Melville, Jhb]
This upmarket home in Melville, Johannesburg needed an urgent solution to Load Shedding for their home and home office.
AM Solar designed and installed this system to achieve that + more..!
The Fiamm AGM Battery bank remains in standby while the Schneider Electric XW+ 8.5kW intelligent inverter|charger direct feeds Day-Time loads (e.g. Koi Pond, Geysers, etc.).
If and when the Grid is lost (i.e. Loadshedding), the inverter will take control of the homes main DB board and disconnect non-critical loads and only power the critical loads (e.g. PC's, Laptops, TV's, alarms, fridges... etc) that will then be powered by the battery bank for a duration of between 4 hours to 8 hours.
Inverter, controller and monitoring technologies by Schneider Electric and Victron Energy.
Solar panels are 300W poly-crystalline solar panels.
