Battery Technology | Energy storage for residential/commercial systems | Industry: Lead-acid (500 cycles, IEC 60896) / Base: Lithium (2000 cycles, IEC 62660-2) ▲ (4x cycles) / Advanced: Lithium-ion (8000+ cycles, IEC 62660-2) ▲ (4x Base) | Base reduces replacement frequency; Advanced offers industrial-grade longevity | Higher upfront cost for lithium vs lead-acid |
System Capacity | Residential (small systems), Industrial (large-scale) | Industry: Up to 20kW (IEC 61727) / Base: 8–20kW ▲ (Matches industry max) / Advanced: 500kW–1MW ▲ (25x Base capacity) | Advanced supports large-scale deployments; Base suits small-to-medium needs | Advanced requires more space and installation expertise |
Solar Panel Efficiency | High sunlight areas, space-constrained installations | Industry: Polycrystalline (15–17% efficiency, IEC 61215) / Base/Advanced: Monocrystalline (22% efficiency, IEC 61215) ▲ (47% efficiency gain) | Reduces panel area needed; maximizes energy output per square meter | Slightly higher cost than polycrystalline panels |
Inverter Efficiency | Maximizing energy conversion in variable conditions | Industry: PWM (85% efficiency, IEC 61676) / Base/Advanced: MPPT (99.9% efficiency, IEC 61676) ▲ (17.5% efficiency gain) | MPPT tracks optimal voltage for better energy harvest | Slightly higher cost than PWM inverters |
Warranty Period | Long-term investment protection | Industry: 1 year (IEC 62257) / Base: 3 months ▼ (Shorter) / Advanced: 1 year ▲ (Matches industry) | Advanced offers full 1-year coverage; Base prioritizes cost efficiency | Base lacks long-term protection compared to industry standards |
Compliance Certifications | EU market entry, safety compliance | Industry: CE (Basic safety, EN 50618) / Base: CE + EPR France Battery ▲ (Regional compliance) / Advanced: CE + EPR Germany Battery/Packing/WEEE + CSA ▲ (Full EU/NA compliance) | Advanced meets multiple regional regulations; Base covers core markets | Base lacks certifications for stricter regions like Germany/Canada |
