Spoiler Alert. AC coupling is the most common method to co-locate projects. This means the storage is connected to generation on the AC side of the battery inverter, before reaching the grid connection. DC coupling is an alternative option for solar and storage projects. The battery connects to the solar on the DC side of both assets.

The main difference with energy storage inverters is that they are capable of two-way power conversion – from DC to AC, and vice versa. It''s this switch between currents that enables energy storage inverters to store energy, as the name implies. In a regular PV inverter system, any excess power that you do not consume is fed back to the grid.

Schematic diagram of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system. It stores energy in the form of a magnetic field generated by the flow of direct current (DC) through a superconducting coil which is cryogenically cooled. The stored energy is released back to the network by discharging the coil. Table 46.

The battery voltage depends upon the system power level. Lower power single phase systems commonly use 48-V battery, while higher power three phase systems use 400-V battery. Intermediate battery voltages are used infrequently. Systems with higher power range of string inverters could use 800-V battery for storage.

In an AC-coupled system, DC power flows from solar panels to a solar inverter, transforming it into AC electricity. That AC power can then flow to your home appliances or go to a battery inverter that converts the electricity back to DC for storage. With AC-coupled systems, any electricity stored in the battery system must be inverted …

Affordability. As the battery and panels share the same inverter, a DC-coupled system is likely to be more affordable due to a reduced hardware cost. Efficient. As the current is only inverted once, DC coupled systems are up to 3% more efficient than AC battery systems. Making your entire PV system more economical.
