SolaX ESS-AELIO 60kW / 100kWh C&I energy storage system with air cooling

The AELIO-P60B100 all-in-one energy storage system from SolaX (MPN: 1070020111) operates with up to 60 kW output power at 100 kWh storage capacity and is primarily intended for outdoor use. The complete system includes a cabinet, LiFePO4 battery modules, high-voltage box, distribution box, IO module, EMS, switch, UPS, an automatic fire extinguishing system, and the X3-AELIO-60K inverter. The hybrid ESS cabinet allows PV over-subscription of up to 200%, so you can connect up to twice the rated power. This allows you to achieve higher yields in low light and shaded hours. A maximum DC input current of 40 A ensures high PV throughput and supports powerful strings. Global MPP scanning finds the global operating point even in partial shading and maximizes energy yield. Intelligent I-V curve diagnostics visualize the performance of your modules and strings, detect deviations such as defects, mismatches, or shading at an early stage, and support predictive maintenance.
The modular, scalable architecture allows you to use it flexibly in commercial and industrial applications. The cabinet supports both grid-connected and off-grid systems and can be seamlessly integrated into existing installations. Thanks to optimal space utilization, the storage capacity grows in line with demand. This allows you to reliably secure your energy supply and efficiently cover increasing loads.

200% PV oversizing

You can connect solar modules that together have up to twice as much power as the inverter itself. If your inverter has 60 kW, you can connect solar modules with up to 120 kWp. This allows you to generate more electricity even when there is less sun or on cloudy days. The maximum power that the inverter can deliver to the house remains the same, but you can reach this peak power more often. This allows you to get more out of your solar system overall and increase your electricity yield throughout the year.

IV curve scan

The scan is an automatic diagnostic function that measures the current-voltage characteristic curve of your PV modules. This allows power losses, contamination, or defects to be detected early on without the need for additional measuring devices. This simplifies maintenance, increases operational reliability, and ensures maximum energy yields from your system.

Support for microgrids and a wide range of scenarios

The air-cooled AELIO‑ESS can operate reliably both in conjunction with the public grid and as a stand-alone island grid. The system can set up and maintain a local grid, adapt to existing grids, and start up independently after power failures. Typical applications include emergency power supply, peak shaving and load shifting, self-consumption optimization with PV, and buffering for charging infrastructure, construction sites, events, or remote locations. Your advantage: high supply security, lower energy costs, and a flexibly scalable solution for your specific application.

Three-phase unbalanced output

The storage unit can supply different amounts of power to the three house power phases (L1, L2, L3). It does not have to distribute the load evenly, but delivers more energy where it is needed. This means you have a better supply for mixed consumers, a higher self-consumption rate, and less grid consumption— even if, for example, one phase is more heavily loaded by a heat pump. Example: With a total output of 10 kW, approximately 5 kW is possible on L1, 3 kW on L2, and 2 kW on L3 (within the device limits).

Grid connection and self-sufficient operation

It either works together with the public grid or supplies you independently as needed. In grid operation, it optimizes self-consumption, smooths out power peaks, and takes advantage of dynamic tariffs. In the event of a grid failure or desired self-sufficiency, the system forms its own grid (voltage and frequency) and reliably keeps critical consumers in operation – depending on the configuration, even with automatic transition. This gives you maximum flexibility, high supply security, and economical operation.

Various operating modes

In on-grid operation, you can choose from six different operating modes: self-consumption, feed-in priority, backup, peak shaving, schedule, and EPS. Manual operation is only intended for the customer service team. This allows you to flexibly adapt the energy supply to your everyday life and your individual needs. In the event of a power failure, the system automatically detects the interruption and switches to EPS mode on its own. This ensures that important electrical appliances continue to be reliably supplied with power.

Self-consumption mode
...is particularly suitable for regions where feed-in tariffs are low and electricity prices are high. In this mode, the solar power generated is primarily used for your own consumption. Surplus energy first charges the battery. Only when your own needs have been met and the battery is fully charged is the remaining electricity fed into the public grid. This allows you to maximize your independence from the electricity supplier and reduce your energy costs.

Feed-in priority
...is ideal for regions with attractive feed-in tariffs, but where there is a limit on the amount of electricity that can be fed into the grid. In this mode, you first use the solar power you generate for your own needs. any surplus energy that you do not consume yourself is fed into the public grid. Note: Once the permitted feed-in quantity has been reached, the remaining energy is automatically used to charge the battery.

Backup mode
...is ideal for locations with regular power outages. In this mode, the system ensures that the battery always remains at a high state of charge. This allows you to continue to reliably supply important devices with energy in the event of a power outage. Energy is controlled according to the same principle as in self-consumption mode.

Peak shaving mode
...is designed to enable you to specifically balance out peaks in electricity consumption. The system ensures that the battery is charged during periods of low electricity consumption. When electricity demand is high, the battery then provides energy to compensate for peak loads. This allows you to make optimal use of your energy and reduce your electricity costs in the long term.

TOU mode (Time-of-Use)
...you can use the SolaX Cloud app or the web to specify exactly how your system should operate at different times of the day. You can divide the day into up to 24 time slots, each lasting at least 15 minutes. For each time slot, you can individually select whether the system should switch to self-consumption, charging, discharging, peak load operation, or battery shutdown, for example. This allows you to optimally adapt your energy management to your daily routine and different electricity tariffs. Detailed setup instructions can be found in the web guide or in the app.

EPS (off-grid)
...In the event of a power failure, the system automatically takes over the supply of your most important devices (EPS consumers) – either directly with solar power or with energy from the battery. The prerequisite is that a battery is installed and the connected devices do not exceed the maximum power of the battery. The electricity generated by the solar system is first used to supply the consumers. Surplus energy is used to charge the battery.

TOU mode (Time-of-Use)

You can use the SolaXCloud app or the web to specify exactly how your system should operate at different times of the day. You can divide the day into up to 24 time slots, each lasting at least 15 minutes. For each time slot, you can individually select whether the system should switch to self-consumption, charging, discharging, peak load operation, or battery shutdown, for example. This allows you to optimally adapt your energy management to your daily routine and different electricity tariffs. Detailed setup instructions can be found in the web guide or in the app.

VPP-ready

This means that the device is prepared for integration into a virtual power plant (VPP). It digitally networks many decentralized energy sources, such as photovoltaic systems, battery storage, or flexible consumers, into a common, controllable network. This allows these systems to participate jointly in the energy market, provide balancing energy, or compensate for peak loads.

Protection and safety

• overvoltage/undervoltage protection
• DC insulation protection, reverse polarity protection, feed-in monitoring
• Grid monitoring, fault current detection, overtemperature protection
• Active anti-islanding method, AC auxiliary power supply (APS)
• AFCI (optional), overvoltage protection (DC/AC)

Arc detection (AFCI)

If your PV modules, connectors, or cables are incorrectly installed or damaged, arcing can occur, which can cause fires. To quickly prevent such fires, SolaX has developed an optional arc detection feature. This feature can be installed and provides a higher level of safety for you and your PV system.

SolaXCloud

SolaXCloud is an intelligent platform for managing your home energy. It provides you with a clear overview of your energy consumption and power generation, as well as easy control of all connected devices. This allows you to optimize the efficiency of your power consumption and get the most out of your solar system. Your data is transmitted securely and reliably at all times. With the Monitoring Cloud app, you can conveniently monitor your photovoltaic system via Wi-Fi, LAN, or 4G. You can view alarms, adjust settings, and control maintenance. To do this, plug the dongle into the USB port of the inverter. Once switched on, you can connect to the app immediately. You will find the QR code for downloading the app in the user manual.
