We have participated together with Ampt in a pv magazine Webinar, in which we discussed a case study of Latin America’s (LATAM) largest solar+storage installation where both companies, Ampt and eks Energy, partnered to deliver an end-to-end power conversion solution using a fixed-voltage DC-coupled architecture.

If you didn´t have the chance to join the live webinar, here we will share some of the key points covered in the webinar. Utility-scale solar + storage are hot topics as the energy storage industry is looking for innovative approaches to achieve superior economics.

At eks Energy we are committed to the profitability of our projects. To produce or generate an additional profit on the investment or effort made, obtaining the maximum return on our resources and those of the client. That is why we are committed to this type of innovative solutions, which are proving to be a success in the market.

Battery energy storage has emerged as the dominant and rapidly expanding method of energy storage in a significant proportion of the world in recent years. In the US alone, the proportion of battery storage in the country’s energy storage capacity climbed from a mere 3% in 2017 to a substantial 36% in the first half of 2023. Battery systems go hand in hand with solar for both new installations and retrofits.

But, Like Salvador, Chief Comercial Officer at eks Energy and Mark, Vice President Strategic Marketing at Ampt explain within the webinar, not all PV +storage systems are equal, they can be AC- or DC-coupled. Both solutions have their own benefits and considerations for implementation. The best example of the benefits of DC coupled solutiones is this case study in Latin America’s (LATAM) largest solar+storage installation where we partenerd Ampt to deliver an end-to-end power conversion solution using a fixed-voltage DC-coupled architecture.

In the first half, Salvador Rodríguez talks about the project developer’s goals, the power solution architecture and its advantages related to the inverter, battery converter, controls, and grid response. And in second half, Mark Kanjorski, will detail the cost and performance advantages of the fixed-voltage DC-coupled PV+storage solution.
