Cegasa – 200 kWh system in a private house within a community with limited access to the grid (Australia)

A residential project in Eagle Bay, Western Australia, integrated a 40 kWp solar PV system with a 207 kWh Cegasa battery bank to mitigate frequent grid blackouts. Deployed in May 2020, the system uses Selectronic inverters to manage high power consumption peaks and operates primarily as an off-grid solution while maintaining a grid connection.

• The project in Eagle Bay, Western Australia, was designed to address a "very unstable grid" characterized by "many blackouts during the year," requiring a system that could function as an off-grid solution while remaining connected to the grid.
• The technical configuration consists of a 40 kWp PV REC Alpha All Black series solar array paired with a 207 kWh Cegasa battery bank, managed by three Selectronic SP PRO Series 2i SPLC1202 units operating at 120V with a 144Vdc battery setup.
• Deployed in May 2020, this installation represents the first time Selectronic and Cegasa products have been used together in a fully-managed setting in Australia to support high-power applications and constant power peaks.
