AEC Solar
Fortress & Sol-Ark
Energy Storage Solutions

Innovative, affordable and easy-to-install energy storage solution (ESS) that can used for both new and existing PV arrays. Fortress Power ESS uses the innovative Sol-Ark inverter, which is designed and engineered in the U.S.

WORLD’S MOST EFFICIENT

93% round-trip efficiency rate (PV-> battery-> AC load), 8- 20% higher than the competitors’

POWERFUL

9.6 KW continuous for On-Grid production; 8KW continuous for OFf-Grid production & 20kW peak Off Grid for starting 3 ton A/C or well pumps; 18.5 KWH storage capacity per unit and is scalable to 222kWH

FLEXIBLE

It can be DC coupled to new array, as well as AC coupled to existing array. DC + AC Coupling Combined supports up-to 13KW PV array

SIMPLE TO INSTALL AND USE

The plug and play solution integrate charger, inverter, auto-transfer, distribution box, monitoring all in one unit

SCALABLE

The 12 KW hybrid inverter can be stacked-up to 9 units for a total Power Output of 108KW; 18.5 KWH Storage Capacity per unit and is scalable to 222kWH. It supports both residential (120/240V) and commercial (120/208V) application.

HIGHEST SAFETY

Safe Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry; no cooling and ventilation is required
