KOSTAL - Highest quality, efficiency and reliability "Made in Germany"

Anyone interested in photovoltaics, e-mobility and modern energy solutions rightly demands high standards of quality, efficiency and reliability.

Efficiency at KOSTAL: Maximum yields and sustainable profitability

Because efficiency is important to us!

The efficiency of the inverter is important to us, as it is responsible for converting direct current into alternating current. An inefficient inverter can lead to some of the energy being lost, resulting in higher electricity costs. Efficient power conversion, on the other hand, saves energy costs and also protects the environment as less energy is required.

Another advantage of an efficient inverter is its reliability. The more efficiently the inverter works, the longer it lasts and the less maintenance and repairs are required. This is why we paid particular attention to efficiency when selecting the inverter, in order to save costs and resources in the long term and ensure a stable power supply. That's why KOSTAL.

Why is efficiency so important?

The efficiency of an inverter is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it directly influences the energy yield of a photovoltaic system. An efficient inverter converts the direct current generated into alternating current with minimal losses, which maximises the amount of usable energy and reduces electricity costs. The higher the efficiency, the more of the solar energy generated can actually be utilised.

Secondly, high efficiency helps to extend the service life of the system, as less heat and stress is placed on the components. This also reduces the need for cooling mechanisms and maintenance, which saves additional costs. Finally, an efficient inverter is more environmentally friendly as it optimises the use of renewable energy and keeps CO2 emissions low. Overall, efficiency improves the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of the entire solar installation.

Why is an inverter so important in combination with a photovoltaic system?

An inverter plays a crucial role in combination with a photovoltaic system, as it converts the direct current generated by the system into alternating current that can be fed into the electricity grid. Without an inverter, it would not be possible to utilise the electricity produced by the photovoltaic system.

It therefore has a significant influence on the performance and reliability of the photovoltaic system. A high-quality inverter should be characterised by high efficiency, reliability and a long service life in order to ensure the optimum performance of the system. The inverter is also important for monitoring and controlling the system.

Some models offer intelligent controls that ensure that the best possible performance is always achieved. With the PLENTICORE, you get a device that combines all these features.

Why is the efficiency of an inverter so important?

The efficiency of an inverter is one of the most important factors for the performance of a photovoltaic system. High efficiency not only ensures better yields, but also faster amortisation and a more environmentally friendly use of solar energy.

Added value for customers through higher yields

An efficient inverter converts the direct current of the solar modules into usable alternating current with minimal losses. The higher the efficiency, the more energy can be fed into the grid or consumed directly. This increases the economic efficiency of the system and means a direct financial benefit for the customer.

Faster amortisation due to lower losses

Every avoided power loss leads to a higher solar yield, which means that the investment costs are amortised more quickly. An inverter with high efficiency also usually works with better heat dissipation, which extends the service life of the components and reduces maintenance costs.

CO₂ reduction and environmental protection

The more efficiently the inverter works, the more fossil energy sources are saved. This leads to a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions and actively contributes to environmental protection. In addition, an efficient inverter often requires less material and thus reduces the ecological footprint over the entire service life.

Optimum use of renewable energy

High efficiency ensures that as much solar energy as possible remains usable even in fluctuating weather conditions and partial load operation. Modern inverters with smart control systems and low standby losses also improve the overall performance of the system.

The efficiency of an inverter is a key factor in the cost-effectiveness, sustainability and performance of a photovoltaic system. Higher yields, faster amortisation and a significant contribution to CO₂ reduction make it an indispensable criterion for customers who want to benefit in the long term and protect the environment.

That's why KOSTAL.

Since its foundation in 1912, KOSTAL has been developing technologies that stand for quality and reliability worldwide. With more than a century of experience, KOSTAL offers products that meet the highest standards. The PLENTICORE inverter and the ENECTOR wallbox are examples of this philosophy and enable the efficient, sustainable use of renewable energy. And all made in Germany!

The PLENTICORE inverter is known for its versatility. Its flexible connection options and integrated battery function make it easy to increase self-consumption and increase independence from rising electricity prices. Its high efficiency, ease of use and robust design guarantee a long service life.

The ENECTOR wallbox complements the system with intelligent and environmentally friendly charging of electric vehicles. It can be easily combined with a photovoltaic system to optimise the use of surplus solar power. With PLENTICORE and ENECTOR, KOSTAL offers a harmonised system that meets modern requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability.
