In a detailed product demonstration, GSL Energy's 48V 10kWh Powerwall lithium battery and hybrid inverter system were showcased, highlighting key features and operational benefits through real-world application scenarios.
The 10kWh lithium-ion battery unit measures approximately 22 inches wide by 30 inches long with an 8-inch wall clearance. Its compact design allows flexible installation in various household locations including kitchens and living areas, presenting a neat and space-efficient alternative to traditional lead-acid battery banks. The system features wall-mounted installation with proper bolting security and utilizes separate conduit piping for DC power connections, recommending metal or PVC water pipes rather than standard electrical conduits for optimal safety.
Equipped with advanced Battery Management System (BMS), the battery enables real-time monitoring of power levels and charging status through intuitive display interfaces. The hybrid inverter seamlessly converts solar-generated DC power to 48V for battery storage while simultaneously supplying AC power for household consumption. This dual-function system ensures clean, stable electricity output, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from power fluctuations.
