All-In-One Solution

The Canadian Solar EP Cube is a sophisticated all-in-one residential energy storage solution designed to integrate seamlessly with solar PV systems, providing homeowners with energy independence, backup power, and smart energy management.

Key Features:

 All-in-One Integrated Design:

• Hybrid Inverter: The EP Cube combines a high-efficiency hybrid inverter with the battery storage modules into a single, sleek unit. This simplifies installation, reduces components, and optimizes energy flow between solar panels, batteries, and the home’s electrical grid.

   

• Modular Batteries: It uses stackable Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery modules, known for their enhanced safety and long lifespan. This modularity allows for flexible energy capacity, typically ranging from 9.9 kWh to 19.9 kWh per unit, and can be scaled up to 119.9 kWh by connecting multiple units in parallel, catering to diverse household energy needs.

   

Safety and Reliability:

• LiFePO4 Chemistry: The use of LiFePO4 batteries contributes to its high safety profile, as they are less prone to thermal runaway compared to other lithium-ion chemistries.
• Certifications: The EP Cube meets stringent safety standards, including UL 9540A unit-level thermal runaway test criteria, ensuring fire safety. It also boasts an IP65 or IP67 rating for the enclosure, making it resistant to dust and water, suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. 
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand various weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, making it well-suited for diverse climates like those found in Canada. 

Flexible Energy Management:

• Multiple Operating Modes: The system offers various energy storage modes, allowing homeowners to optimize their energy usage for self-consumption, time-of-use (TOU) management (if applicable in their region), and backup power. 
• Seamless Backup Power: In the event of a grid outage, the EP Cube automatically and seamlessly switches to backup mode, ensuring continuous power supply for essential and even high-power appliances. It can also connect to a generator for extended outages.

   

• AC and DC Input: It supports both AC and DC PV input, making it compatible with both new solar installations and retrofitting existing PV systems. 
• EV Charger Compatibility: The system can be connected to Level 2 EV chargers, allowing homeowners to power their electric vehicles with clean, stored solar energy. 

Smart Monitoring and Control:

• EP Cube App: A dedicated mobile application (for Android and iOS) allows homeowners to remotely monitor their energy generation, consumption, and storage in real-time. 
• Remote Updates: Supports Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates, ensuring the system’s software is always up-to-date with the latest features and improvements. 
• Weather Alerts: The app can provide weather warnings and backup energy reminders, helping users proactively manage their stored power. 

Ease of Installation:

• Lightweight and Modular: The individual battery modules are relatively lightweight, making them easier to transport and install compared to heavier, non-modular systems. 
• Plug-and-Play Connectors: Designed for simplified wiring and quicker commissioning, reducing installation time and costs. 
• Flexible Mounting: Can be installed on the floor or wall-mounted to save space.
