Description
The Afore AF Series storage Inverters are designed to increase energy independence for homeowners. The power range is from 3.0kW to 9.6kW, compatible with high voltage (80-495V) batteries.
Energy management is based on time-of-use and demand charge rate structures, significantly reduce the amount of energy purchased from public grid.
Thanks for the UPS function (switch time < 10ms), that enables the crucial loads power on during outages. Additionally, under the backup operation mode, the inverter provides you up to 150% peak output overloading.
The AF series storage inverters meet the US safety regulations, integrated with Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) and Rapid Shutdown.
Support for Time-of-use Optimization
AFCl & Rapid Shutdown Ready
Build in Anti-feed-in Function
Smart Monitoring & Remote Firmware Upgrade
