Integrating an Austa battery with a solar system enables efficient storage of surplus energy for self-consumption. Hybrid inverters of the SUN series connect the battery and solar modules via CAN/RS485, automatically control charging and discharging cycles, and achieve up to 95% efficiency. DRBO Greenenergy offers plug-and-play complete sets including SunLit storage, RCD protection, and app monitoring for safe, quick installation and maximum self-sufficiency.
What is an Austa Battery System?
Austa batteries (LiFePO4, 5–20 kWh) store solar surpluses for night operation or peak load. Hybrid-compatible with SUN inverters, scalable, and durable with up to 6000 cycles at 95% DoD. DRBO Greenenergy also offers suitable SunLit-like storage solutions for balcony and home systems.
Which Austa Inverter is suitable for the battery?
Hybrid models SUN1000 to SUN5000 have battery ports, SUN2000 is ideal for 10 kWh. The connection is made via CAN bus, the app shows the State of Charge (SoC) in real-time. Up to two batteries can be operated in parallel. DRBO Greenenergy integrates inverters and storage into complete packages for private and business customers.
How to wire Austa battery with solar?
-
Solar modules → DC inputs of the hybrid inverter
-
Inverter battery port → Battery (CAN/RS485)
-
AC output → Home grid/Schuko plug
Recommended: 6–10 mm² cable, RCD type B, check polarity before switching on.
| Component | Cable type | Maximum length |
|---|---|---|
| Solar DC | 6 mm² | 10 m |
| Battery DC | 10 mm² | 5 m |
| CAN bus | RJ45 | 30 m |
Why are hybrid inverters needed?
Hybrid inverters automatically control charging and discharging cycles, prioritize self-consumption (up to 80% self-sufficiency), and prevent grid overproduction through zero export. DRBO Greenenergy combines hybrid inverters with SunLit storage for balconies and home systems.
Which app controls Austa integration?
The Austa Solar App enables SoC monitoring, time-controlled charging, firmware updates, real-time yield forecasts, and alarm messages. The app runs locally without a cloud connection, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It optimizes charging cycles and saves energy costs.
Where to place Austa battery?
Dry, 0–40 °C, ventilated, at least 20 cm distance from walls, indoors or shaded outdoors. IP65 protects against moisture, cooling required for high summer loads.
Can Austa battery be expanded?
Yes, modular up to 40 kWh via master-slave parallel operation. Scalable for household electricity or EV charging. DRBO Greenenergy offers expansion kits for growing systems.
Is Austa battery VDE certified?
Yes, according to VDE-AR-N 4105, CE-compliant with 10-year warranty. BMS protects against overcharging and short circuits. Safe for tenants up to 800 W, integrated RCD protection.
How to optimize charging cycles?
Time-controlled charging during the day, discharging in the evening via app. 95% roundtrip efficiency. Intelligent energy management prioritizes consumption, saving €0.40/kWh. DRBO Greenenergy relies on plug-and-play packages with app control for maximum efficiency.
