KOSTAL inverters: excellent for any size of system
Be it a solar, hybrid or battery inverter, KOSTAL inverters are the perfect application solution for every requirement and for every size of system. Distinguished on numerous occasions for its efficiency.
KOSTAL inverters: Smart connected. In every area
Almost all KOSTAL inverters are equipped with several MPP trackers for the best possible and smartest energy production, regardless of roof direction. They are also equipped with intelligent technology. For optimum performance throughout the house. Can also be integrated into the Smart Home.
Many possibilities: KOSTAL inverters
KOSTAL inverters offer versatile application possibilities and are suitable for a wide range of PV systems, tailored to specific individual requirements. Offering high efficiency, all inverters feature the reliable quality you expect from KOSTAL – whether solar, hybrid, or battery inverter. For systems designed for efficient power generation and flexible power ratings: an ideal solution for private homes and commercial applications.
More power and yield with KOSTAL inverters
Intelligent shadow management for ideal PV generation, even in cloudy conditions, and optimal roof utilisation with up to 3 MPP trackers. With KOSTAL inverters, you can make the best possible use of your PV system's potential, regardless of the roof direction. For efficient energy use.
But let's start at the beginning: What does MPP even mean?
Every photovoltaic system has what's called a Maximum Power Point (MPP). This is the point at which a solar module achieves its highest or maximum output. The task of MPP tracking is to set this maximum performance point reliably and accurately at all times, according to the conditions.
Why make things more complicated than necessary?
KOSTAL inverters provide all core functions required for efficient PV power generation. Thanks to integrated KOSTAL shadow management, additional module-level power electronics are typically unnecessary for most standard installations. The advantage: optimized energy yield, reduced installation effort, and no delicate electronics exposed to high roof temperatures. Our goal is simple, efficient, and dependable PV power generation. Just smart.
Easy access to inverter consumption data in the portal
Our inverters are equipped with an interface to the solar portal as standard. This means that the photovoltaic system's latest consumption and performance data can be viewed there at any time. To monitor the system's yield in the best possible way. Alongside system data.
Retrofitting a PV storage unit? Easy!
Our hybrid inverters offer the option of connecting a PV storage unit later when the time is right for you. Still not sure whether you will always use the energy immediately or want to store it? A hybrid inverter like the PLENTICORE plus can also be used without battery storage, which can be easily retrofitted later on, when the need arises. You only have to pay for this if the 'Storage use“ option is enabled for the inverter.
KOSTAL Tipp:
Still not decided whether you need a PV storage system or not? Play it safe. With the PLENTICORE plus and PIKO MP plus, you only pay for the battery function when you need it. You can easily retrofit a PV storage unit at any time using an activation code.
Intelligent use of solar power thanks to PV inverters from KOSTAL
As well as efficiently generating photovoltaic energy, KOSTAL inverters can also ensure that the electricity generated can be used intelligently in the home. Thanks to innovative technologies, the home can be developed into a Smart Home, for example.
KOSTAL's three-phase PV inverters provide various communication interfaces for this purpose, including EEBus, SunSpec or ModBus. With these, the electricity consumers in the house, for example a heat pump, can be supplied with solar energy when it's available. This process doesn't need to be controlled manually because the inverter and the consumer communicate automatically.
In order to consume even more electricity yourself, a storage unit can be added to the PV system. This allows the solar power to be buffered during the day and consumed in the evening after sunset. Energy can be stored in various ways with KOSTAL hybrid inverters. Choosing a hybrid inverter is particularly worthwhile when building a new solar system or replacing an existing PV inverter.
In existing PV systems, the storage option can be easily retrofitted thanks to the KOSTAL battery inverter. In addition to the permanently installed battery, solar power can also be stored with a mobile storage unit, i.e. an electric vehicle, or in a cloud solution.
KOSTAL PV inverters – Generate solar power and use it intelligently
Why are KOSTAL inverters the optimum solution for every PV system? Because they provide everything that an efficient photovoltaic system needs for optimal energy production. As much as necessary, as little as possible: why make it complicated when efficiency can be so simple? KOSTAL inverters stand for the most efficient use of energy and most efficient production. Intelligent shadow management, up to 3 MPP trackers for best possible yields, standard and free interfaces to the Solar Portal: KOSTAL inverters include everything of importance. No error-prone and costly optimisers, no unnecessary components. Simple. Smart
Every photovoltaic system requires an inverter
Only through this conversion can solar power be fed into the public grid and utilized by standard household appliances. But why is that? A PV system’s solar modules generate direct current (DC). However, the public power grid as well as typical household appliances operate on alternating current (AC). The inverter’s primary function is therefore to convert direct current from the PV modules into alternating current. Because it ensures this essential conversion, the inverter is often referred to as the heart of every photovoltaic system.
Other PV inverter functions
However, the inverter does much more than convert power. KOSTAL PV inverters combine several essential functions in a single device:
- Optimized energy yields through intelligent MPP tracking
- Comprehensive monitoring of power generation and household consumption
- Standard-compliant grid support functions to help stabilize the electricity grid
PV planning with KOSTAL
KOSTAL products – the right solution for every photovoltaic system
Whether for a private home, a commercial property or a large-scale installation – at KOSTAL you will find the right inverter and complementary products for an efficient and future-proof energy supply. Our inverters combine high efficiency levels with flexible application possibilities: ranging from solar inverters and hybrid inverters with storage connectivity to battery inverters for retrofitting existing PV systems.
In addition, KOSTAL offers the ENECTOR wallbox, a smart solution for electric mobility. With digital tools and applications such as the KOSTAL Solar Portal, the Solar App or the KOSTAL Solar Plan, you can keep track of planning, monitoring and energy management at all times. The range is rounded off by practical accessories such as the KOSTAL Energy Meter for optimised energy management.
This creates a coordinated overall package: KOSTAL products combine efficiency, quality, and smart technology for higher self-consumption and economical use of the photovoltaic system.
Store solar power and use it flexibly – with KOSTAL Hybrid Inverters and battery inverters
Anyone looking to increase their self-consumption should opt for storage solutions. A battery storage system allows solar power generated during the day to be stored temporarily and used in the evening or at night. This reduces dependence on the grid and enables the photovoltaic system to operate even more efficiently.
KOSTAL Hybrid Inverters enable energy to be stored in various ways – whether for direct self-consumption, for use with heat pumps or for electric mobility. They are the ideal choice when installing a new solar system or replacing an existing PV inverter.
KOSTAL also offers the right solution for existing PV systems: with the battery inverter, a storage option can be retrofitted easily and flexibly. This means that existing systems can also benefit from the advantages of modern storage integration.
KOSTAL combines high efficiency levels with development and manufacturing in Germany. Whether residential or commercial – inverters from KOSTAL make photovoltaics smarter, more flexible, and more economical.
