When to use a Grid-Tie?

• Back-up is not required• Highest consumption during the day• Economical, fast return on investment

Kodak Grid-Tie Datasheet

What's in the box?

Mounting system

Inverter Layout

Wiring example

• Prevents exporting power to the grid• Use CT for single inverters• Use EPM if you need to parallel inverters

on a phase

Grid Feed-in control

• If you don’t have permission to export, the site must have limiting

• Digital meters may charge for export, increasing the bill

• You may only be allowed to export a certain amount

Why use feed in control?

• Inverter can connect to internet with adapter• Wi-Fi data stick for single inverter• Lan data stick for single inverter• Wi-Fi box for up to 10 inverters

Monitoring options

Monitoring Platform

Online monitoring offers the following• Site production data• Site consumption data• Data export• Quick and simple setup• Installer and end-user accounts

Monitoring Platform Overview

Monitoring Platform Display

• 5 years standard warranty• 2 year warranty on accessories• If a unit has a fault, contact SegenSolar technical for assistance and booking

a return.

Warranty

Comparison to other products

• SMA, Ingteam, SolarEdge and other brands require external energy meter which adds additional cost.

• Lower cost than other brands, good entry level grid-tie inverter.

Kodak Hybrid

• Grid tie and battery inverter combined• Battery back-up• Extra energy can be exported• Grid energy can supplement solar and batteries

What is a Hybrid Inverter?

• Intelligent source management• Dual MPPT• Off-grid backup function• Export control• BMS communication with Pylontech

Kodak Hybrid Selling Points

When to use a Hybrid?

• Back-up required• Parallel grid operation • Smaller initial battery bank can be used• Can function in grid-tie mode without batteries• Can be used as a UPS without solar• Can add batteries or solar later

Kodak Hybrid Data Sheet

What’s in the box?

Inverter Layout

Wiring example

• Note the CT placement!

• Set-up done using the LCD HMI• Select advanced settings • Advanced password: 0010• Set grid code to NRS using the select

standard option

Quick set-up

Quick set-up• Under advanced settings go to Storage energy

set.• Select battery type: Pylon• Select desired operational mode

• Time charge (program charge and discharge times)

• Off-grid (Ignore grid)• Reserve battery (Keep battery full)• Auto (This is the default when the other modes

are disabled)

• Battery enable set to Enable• Backup supply-enable

Quick set-up

• 5 years standard warranty• If a unit has a fault, contact SegenSolar technical.

Warranty

Comparison to other products

• Other hybrid inverter systems may require multiple external components to work correctly. Such as energy meters or additional expansion cards ect.

• The Kodak is a all in one solution, with feed-in control included, making for a cost-effective solution.

• The inverters also feature a large full color LCD display which is not usual on other brands.

Questions?

Kodak Off-Grid

• Does not synchronize with Grid• Uses only solar and batteries• Bypasses load to grid under certain conditions

What is Off-grid inverter?

• Parallel operation• Built in MPPT• Built in AC charger• RS485• Bluetooth

Features differ depending on model

Kodak Off-Grid Selling Points

When to use off-grid?

• UPS• No-grid connection• Rural • Load less that output

Kodak Panels

Mono Percium

Passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) solar cells consist of the addition of an extra layer to the rear-side of a solar cell. This dielectric passive layer acts to reflect unabsorbed light back to the solar cell for a second absorption attempt increasing the solar cell efficiency.
