New residential storage system from Germany’s EKD

The new Ampere.StoragePro (ASP) storage system from German manufacturer Energiekonzepte Deutschland (EKD) comes in six versions with capacities ranging from 6.6 kWh to 23.1 kWh. According to its datasheet, it can be cascaded up to 231 kWh if needed.

The system features prismatic lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells and is capable of 12,000 charging cycles. ASP comes with a guarantee of 10 years.

The system includes a 12 kW three-phase inverter with three independent MPP trackers and shading management technology.

“Initial test results from the laboratories show that the ASP can be used reliably for up to 48 years without a major drop in performance – that’s twice as long as usual,” EKD said in a statement.

It said that this is possible due to the integrated security system, which is designed to monitor the energy storage system around the clock and switch off automatically if there are any irregularities in voltage, temperature, or current.

Additional sensors are designed to detect short circuits and incorrect installation before they lead to problems. The ASP is now available with different storage capacities and in different versions starting at EUR 6,000 ($6,700).
