TCL PV TECH is bringing the BlueArk X1, an all-in-one residential energy storage system, to the Philippines.
The BlueArk X1 combines a hybrid inverter, battery, UPS, and Energy Management System (EMS) in one system. It can connect solar panels, batteries, household loads, and the power grid.
The system supports single-phase inverters from 3kW to 8kW and three-phase inverters from 5kW to 16kW. It can also support up to four inverters operating in parallel for on-grid or off-grid setups.
For battery storage, the BlueArk X1 supports capacities from 8kWh to 128kWh. Its 8kWh battery uses LiFePO4 cells and provides 7.2kWh of usable energy. TCL PV TECH lists a cycle life of up to 8,000 cycles.
The system has IP66 protection and can be installed indoors or outdoors. It also has a 10ms switching time when moving to emergency power.
The single-phase inverter lineup includes eight power options: 3kW, 3.6kW, 4kW, 4.6kW, 5kW, 6kW, 7kW, and 8kW.
Meanwhile, the three-phase lineup includes seven options: 5kW, 6kW, 8kW, 10kW, 12kW, 15kW, and 16kW.
