What is energy storage system (ESS)?

33 1. ESS introduction & features What is ESS? An Energy Storage System (ESS) is a specific type of power system that integrates a power grid connection with a Victron Inverter/Charger, GX device and battery system. It stores solar energy in your battery during the day for use later on when the sun stops shining.

How do I set up an ESS system?

There are a few different ways to set an ESS system up. A combination of these are possible as well: • DC coupled ESS • AC coupled ESS • Energy meter is used • Grid parallel • Essential loads are used See below drawings to get an idea of all possibilities.

How many inverters/chargers do I need in my ESS system?

There must be at least one inverter/charger (MultiPlus/Quattro) and one GX device such as the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX in the system. Other components can be added when needed; see the ESS system design chapter.
