Faced with the structural increase in electricity costs and the democratization of self-consumption, the market for solar stations “ready to plug in“is experiencing tremendous growth.
Whether to reduce your electricity bill or protect yourself from power outages at critical times, having an energy reserve is no longer a nicety and can even provide great services when the time comes or ensure the power supply of electrical systems on a daily basis.
In this competitive context, the company Oscal proposes his solution Power Storage 2000. This energy storage system, designed to fit into tight spaces such as balconiesstands out for the integration of software management based on artificial intelligence.
An “all-in-one” technical architecture
The Power Storage 2000 system is positioned as an integrated system bringing together three essential components within the same chassis: a microinvertera storage battery and a intelligent management system (BMS). This design aims to simplify installation and reduce bulk.
In terms of technical specifications, the device has features designed to maximize the capture of solar energy. It can support an input power of 2400 W provided by solar panels (distributed over four 600 W MPPT trackers).
The Oscal system can be connected to almost all standard photovoltaic panels on the market, thus offering very broad compatibility in terms of solar energy sources.
Modularity and security of power supply
One of the major challenges of residential storage is adaptability to the needs of the home. The base capacity of the Power Storage 2000 is 1,92 kWh. However, the system is modular and can be expanded up to 9.6 kWh via the addition of additional battery units (up to four packs).
It is therefore possible to modulate the storage needs according to the available solar input power or to add energy storage capacity later, leaving a large margin of maneuver compared to a rigid pre-defined installation.
The device is designed to operate in various operating modes: connected to the grid (on-grid), autonomously (off-grid), or in a hybrid configuration.
In the event of a failure of the public electricity network, the system includes a backup function.uninterrupted power supply (UPS). The latter can deliver emergency power of 1 200 W with a changeover time less than 10 millisecondsensuring that domestic devices (fridges, routers, servers) remain online without any perceptible interruption.
Dynamic pricing and software management
The innovative aspect put forward by OSCAL lies in its software ecosystem. The system integrates the dynamic pricing management (Time-of-Use): the associated application can synchronize with real-time data from energy suppliers offering variable tariffs.
Built-in algorithm controls battery charging and discharging autonomously : it stores energy when prices are at their lowest (or when solar production exceeds consumption) and returns it to the home during peak prices on the network.
The manufacturer estimates that in its maximum configuration (9.6 kWh), this optimized management could generate up to €894 in annual savings on the electricity bill.
Furthermore, the system supports the function “zero injection” (Anti Feed-In) and integrates with third-party home automation ecosystems like Shelly, HomeWizard and EcoTracker.
Material durability and pricing conditions
To guarantee the sustainability and security of the installation, Oscal relies on cells lithium-fer-phosphate (LiFePO4) automotive grade and certified to UL standards.
This chemical technology is renowned for its high thermal stability and its longevity, supporting over 3,500 charge cycles for an estimated lifespan of 15 ans.
Designed for outdoor installation (balconies, roofs, gardens), the box benefits from a certification IP65making it resistant to water and dust. It remains operational in extreme temperature ranges (-20°C to 60°C) and meets the UL94V-0 flame retardancy standard.
Its heat dissipation system also allows it to maintain a silent operationmeasured at less than 40 decibels.
The Oscal Power Storage 2000 system is available on the manufacturer’s official store at the special and limited time price of 799 € (instead of €999, i.e. 20% off), and which includes a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
