Hybrid-inverters from KOSTAL: variety with every device
Efficient PV energy generation and a wide range of options for storing solar power. KOSTAL expertise with distinction. PLENTICORE plus has won several awards in the electricity storage inspection and repeatedly achieved top rankings.
KOSTAL Hybrid Inverter – these all-rounders are always the right choice
When efficiency and performance are key, KOSTAL Hybrid Inverters are the perfect choice. The PLENTICORE MP for small systems, or – if you need more power – the PLENTICORE plus or PLENTICORE G3: our Hybrid Inverters have repeatedly been recognised for their efficiency and impress with the quality you’ve come to expect from KOSTAL in every unit. The PLENTICORE plus and PLENTICORE G3 have repeatedly achieved top rankings in the major energy storage inspection conducted by HTW Berlin in combination with BYD battery storage systems.
Suitable for any PV system – from private homes to commercial premises – the Hybrid inverter from KOSTAL offers a vast range of application options. From direct self-consumption of solar power to powering electric vehicles.
Why a hybrid inverter from KOSTAL is the right choice:
It's possible to retrofit the battery immediately or at any time
Awarded on numerous occasions for their efficiency
The right device for all private applications
Unrestricted choice of battery storage
High self-consumption due to fast battery charging and discharging times
Single and three-phase product portfolio
KOSTAL tip:
Are you unsure whether you’ll need a battery storage system when purchasing your solar panel system? With PLENTICORE G3, PLENTICORE plus and PLENTICORE MP plus, you can leave one input free during installation, allowing you to retrofit a battery at any time in the future. You only pay for this feature when you need it, via an activation code.
Hybrid inverters from KOSTAL: Efficient. Simple. Flexible.
KOSTAL hybrid inverters simply fit any PV system. Universally applicable: more possibilities, more flexibility. It's possible to retrofit storage at a later date without any problems. Costs are only incurred when the storage option is activated.
KOSTAL makes PV systems fit for the future
E-mobility from the excellent hybrid inverter: The PLENTICORE plus is the perfect device if the solar power will also be used to charge electric cars.
Quick. Quicker. KOSTAL: Our hybrid inverters have a high charging and discharging capacity. Maximum efficiency even when the storage unit is being charged: This increases your self-consumption and saves you money on electricity procurement costs.
KOSTAL hybrid inverters are not only distinguished by their efficiency, they are also known for easy installation. No fiddling with different methods. All our devices are installed on the same principle, which makes tradespeople happy and reduces the installation costs involved.
Install a hybrid inverter now: retrofit storage later
The storage systems available today are very efficient and much cheaper than they were a few years ago. If you're still undecided and want to wait, you still make the right choice with KOSTAL hybrid inverters. Initially, these can be installed as pure solar inverters and you can simply purchase the storage option at a later date.
Furthermore, you only pay for the battery function when you need it. You pay using an activation code, which can be purchased from the webshop. Therefore, with a KOSTAL hybrid inverter, you're optimally equipped for the future.
Why store solar power?
Photovoltaics is a renewable and climate-friendly energy source as it generates power from solar energy. However, this solar power can only be used when the sun is shining. So what happens after the sun goes down?
Anyone wanting to consume as much of the sustainable energy as possible themselves, and at any time, is clearly reliant on a storage system because this provides the solar power when the sun isn't shining. The storage unit is always charged during the day with surplus solar power, which is then available at night.
This increases the level of self-consumption, which isn't not just environmentally friendly, but also saves on electricity costs.
KOSTAL explains: What does this actually mean...?
In photovoltaics, you sometimes encounter terms that are not clear at first glance. We're here to help.
Energy self-sufficiency refers to the complete self-supply of energy, meaning you no longer need to purchase electricity from the grid operator. With a photovoltaic system and a battery storage unit, self-consumption can be maximised and the energy generated can also be used at night. This makes you less dependent on the energy supplier and allows you to cover up to 80 per cent of your annual energy requirements (depending on individual energy consumption) through the PV system.

Copy URL to clipboardThe grid operator often imposes a feed-in limit (e.g. to 70% of the PV energy generated). If this is the case, the inverter first covers the household’s own consumption and then reduces the output to the maximum feed-in level permitted by the grid operator. In some countries, no photovoltaic energy may be fed into the grid at all. This is known as zero feed-in. This is also possible with the PLENTICORE G3, PLENTICORE plus and the PLENTICORE MP, ensuring that the grid operator’s requirements are met without any problems.
