ABB Launches New Solar Power Storage Solution REACT 2

The major benefit of REACT 2 is its modular design, which can be easily expanded from 4 to 8 to 12kWh storage capacity to cope with the changing needs of any household, adapting as it grows and delivering double the maximum storage capacity of the first REACT model.

ABB has launched a new solar power storage solution REACT 2, which has a capacity of 12kWh, increasing electricity self-sufficiency of homes.

The company’s new product includes a high-voltage Li-ion battery with a long life. The modular solution can grow with the needs of any household from 4 kWh to 12 kWh and significantly reduce electricity charges thanks to an achievable energy self-reliance of up to 90%.

The inclusion of a high-voltage battery (200V) delivers more reliability and up to 10% more system efficiency compared to lower voltage alternatives (48V).

“We know that prosumers want to harness energy and store it until needed. The growth in self-consumption is one of the most exciting trends in renewables, driving greater demand for integrated and efficient battery storage,” ABB electrification products division president Tarak Mehta said.

The major benefit of REACT 2 is its modular design, which can be easily expanded from 4 to 8 to 12kWh storage capacity to cope with the changing needs of any household, adapting as it grows and delivering double the maximum storage capacity of the first REACT model.

“It’s this future-proof thinking incorporated into the design of REACT 2 that makes it ideal for energy efficient solar power storage. Further, the ability to install REACT 2 on both AC and DC sides, offers the perfect solution for new systems or the retrofitting of existing photovoltaic systems,” Mehta added.
