Designed to maximize capacity and integration with solar energy systems, the ELS 11.4k PCS boasts a nominal power rating of up to 11,400 VA and peak backup power of up to 17,100 VA for 10 seconds. This allows the device to support more loads, ensuring greater energy security in both everyday use and critical backup situations.

New Features for Superior Flexibility and Scalability

The ELS 11.4k PCS introduces several advanced features that enhance system performance and adaptability. Unlike many energy storage systems, the ELS 11.4k PCS does not require a transformer, as it is natively split phase.

The system also offers the ability to connect a backup generator, adding another layer of resilience during extended outages. Pairing seamlessly with the APbattery—APsystems’ 10.24kWh energy storage solution, which uses LiFePO4 chemistry—the ELS 11.4k PCS provides scalable energy storage options. Up to 16 APbattery units can be connected in parallel with the ELS 11.4k PCS, allowing for significant expansion of energy storage capacity.

“Homeowners today want more than just backup power—they need scalable, flexible energy solutions that offer greater independence and reliability,” said Dan Burke, U.S. Country Director for APsystems. “The ELS 11.4k PCS, with its advanced features and ability to integrate with our APbattery, delivers on that promise by offering superior energy management and security.”

Key Features of the ELS 11.4k PCS:

• Native split phase design, eliminating the need for a transformer
• Ability to connect two units for faster, higher-capacity charge and discharge
• Nominal power rating up to 11,400 VA
• Peak backup power up to 17,100 VA for 10 seconds
• Generator connectivity for added reliability
• Seamless integration with APbattery for scalable storage (LiFePO4 chemistry)
• Support for up to 16 APbattery units in parallel for extended storage capacity
• Use for backup, self-consumption, and time-of-use applications
