1. INTRODUCTION
The PowerPod 2 is a high-performance fully integrated home energy
storage, management, and monitoring system powered by LFP (cobalt-
free) batteries. The product includes a hybrid solar/battery inverter
controlled by intelligent software. It comes in both whole home and
partial-home backup. Whole home backup has two options for the
solar connection, 1) the AC option which keeps the solar connected
directly to the load and 2) the DC-coupled option which connects solar
directly to the PowerPod 2 inverter.
All PowerPod 2 models manage grid and backup power from
photovoltaic (PV) panels, batteries, and the utility. When the PV
panels generate enough power, the system will support the backup
load, charge the batteries and feed back to the grid all at the same
time. When the power generated by the PV panels is not sucient
to support the backup load, the inverter takes power from either the
batteries or the utility depending on the mode the homeowner has
selected. For multi-day grid outages the system will resupply power
to the home by restarting from solar each day and solar charge the
batteries even if the batteries were completely drained and system
shut down the previous day. PowerPod 2 comes in dierent inverter,
battery sizes and cellular/WiFi options to match your energy, backup
and data communication needs. There are six inverter models ranging
from 7600 to 9600 W, three batteries sizes; 10, 15 and 20 kWh and four
communication options: Verizon, ATT, Rogers and WiFi.
The PowerTools app is required to commission the PowerPod 2. It is
recommended that the installer have the latest version of the app
installed on their phone before starting the installation process. The
PowerTools App can be downloaded via Google's Play Store or Apple's
App Store.
