The GoodWe EM Series bi-directional energy storage inverter can be used for on-grid PV systems, with the ability to control the flow of energy intelligently. During the day, the PV array generates electricity which can be provided either to the loads, fed into the grid or charge the battery, depending on the economics and set-up. The stored electricity can be released when the loads require it during the night. Additionally, the power grid can also charge the storage devices via the inverter. An all-round intelligent system for maximum energy flexibility.
