Chris Hobson Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 http://www.aquionenergy.com/ Is this for real? Has anyone else seen or heard of these. Something to challenge TTT's Trojan's supremacy.

___ Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It's for real. It has a relatively low energy density and peak current, so you need a lot of floor space and cash to make even a small system. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannes7212 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Its for real all right. I have laid eyes on them here in SA. I think there is lots of potential here, especially for relatively large off grid systems and if really being green is important to you. I do a lot of battery based systems but where the grid is still available so we try to keep the battery banks small but then you run into crank amps limitations on the bigger inverters. The first version of these that I looked at late last year could only push 0.7kW (48V pack of 2kWh) and cost approx R16500 ex vat, so to feed my typical 5kW sites would require a big, expensive bank. I think their time will come though as the new model is much improved. ___ and Chris Hobson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
