In this video, we would like to share with you our first impressions of the ELERIX EX-S5 Battery Energy Storage System, which we were among the first ones to get our hands on. At the same time, we would like to show you 3 ways of using this Energy Storage System - from an off-grid island to a 3-phase solution for larger houses or smaller businesses. 1) The first concept you'll see in this video is a single-phase off-grid design, which is optimal for cottages, yachts, caravans, or island (off-grid) houses. It's pretty simple and straightforward - just a couple of solar panels, Victron inverter, MPPT, and ELERIX Energy Storage.

It is a so-called hybrid solution because it has a direct connection to the grid. It is still a single-phase solution. You will find roughly double the number of solar panels, the grid distribution box, the inverter, the MPPT charger, and the battery itself.

It is an advanced three-phase hybrid design that is designed for a minimum of 2 battery storages. Here you will find 3 inverters, a communication module (or cerbo), an MPPT solar charge controller, and last but not least a larger number of solar panels. This solution is designed for medium and larger-family homes or smaller businesses.
