Selectronic and LG Chem offer flexible energy solutions

Lithium-ion battery manufacturer LG Chem has announced compatibility with Selectronic, a provider of battery inverters.

The LG Chem RESU/Selectronic pairing will provide consumers with a solution that provides a steady flow of power during grid outages. Using a Selectronic SP PRO battery inverter with LG Chem RESU batteries will provide much-needed power security to consumers, ensuring that people have back-up power during blackouts and extreme weather.

The storage solution is suitable for the retrofit market, as it can be added to any existing grid-tie solar system or incorporated into a new installation. It also allows consumers to regain control over their electricity consumption by storing their solar-generated energy to re-use at night and during peak times. People may even choose to go completely off-grid.

The integration of LG Chem’s RESU series with Selectronic’s inverter has gone through significant R&D and field testing by both companies. There are more than 30 field test sites around Australia enjoying the benefits of this combination.

“We’re excited to now be compatible with the leading Australian inverter manufacturer,” said Jamie Allen, business manager, Australia and Pacific, at LG Chem. “Selectronic has over 35 years of providing Australian-made energy storage solutions for both on- and off-grid applications. It’s an exciting prospect to see the two companies come together to provide such flexible solutions.”
