Victron aims to cut into global markets with MultiPlus-II

Almere, NETHERLANDS (ots) - Global energy system specialist
Victron Energy is expanding grid-connection approvals globally for
its new MultiPlus-II battery inverter-charger, boosting the market
for this robust unit that works both on and off-grid.

Victron will also use the standards-compliance and competitive
pricing of the MultiPlus-II to pursue large deployments that involve
major rollouts of standardised energy storage systems across many
sites.

Victron Energy BV Managing Director Matthijs Vader said the
MultiPlus-II would expand Victron's reach globally. "The new
technical design and standards compliance of the MultiPlus-II brings
the familiar Victron Energy MultiPlus technology to a world market at
an even more competitive price," he said.

"The MultiPlus-II is ideal for grid-connected applications such as
distributed Virtual Power Plant (VPP) deployments that can both
supply energy for individual houses and, collectively, deliver energy
to the grid in a coordinated manner. This is an emerging market need
that Victron is looking to support globally."

Victron this month reduced list pricing for its first MultiPlus-II
model, the MultiPlus-II 48/3000/35-32 230V by five per cent: New
prices are EUR EUR1178 in Europe, GBP £1030 in the UK, AU$1880 in
Australia, and US$1315 in the US. Larger discounts are available for
volume MultiPlus-II deployments.

Victron announced these prices just days before it shows the new
MultiPlus-II inverter-charger at next week's Intersolar Europe trade
show in Münich, Germany, the largest annual exhibition for the
European energy storage market. Victron products are available
through the company's global distribution network including Europe,
Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.

The MultiPlus-II 48/3000/35-32 230V boasts a new-look stylish
enclosure, redesigned internal electronics and purpose-built
compliance with national standards for grid-ready operation,
including VDE-AR-N 4105 for Germany, NRS 097-2-1 for South Africa and
the AS 4777 Australian Standard. Further grid standards approvals are
on the way.

Existing customers have welcomed the MultiPlus-II launch. Simon
Hackett, a major investor and technology evangelist for Redflow
Limited, which produces zinc-bromine flow batteries that are
compatible with Victron Energy products, described the new
MultiPlus-II series as a "game changer". "From my point of view, this
is Victron's first truly 'world model' in terms of its on-grid
compatibility," he said.

"Victron Energy has a long and storied history as a supplier of
robust and reliable off-grid inverters suitable for harsh and often
remote environments. The MultiPlus-II marks Victron's arrival as a
supplier of purpose-designed on-grid inverters that are suitable for
approval in many on-grid markets around the world.

"It's a big development for Australia because this marks Victron's
entry as a fully-fledged player in the AS 4777 grid-connect
environment. Victron Energy inverter-chargers can also be clustered
to create large energy storage systems such as the Victron-based
system designed to control 100kWp of solar panels and 450kWh of
zinc-bromine flow batteries at my own office in South Australia."

Victron Energy BV is a 43-year-old company based in the
Netherlands that has established a global reputation as a
manufacturer of robust and reliable components for autonomous power
generation and solar systems. With its MultiPlus, Quattro and now the
new MultiPlus-II inverter-chargers, the company continually innovates
to deliver value into the energy storage sector.

The MultiPlus-II is a 48-volt inverter-charger that readily
connects with a wide range of energy storage systems, from lead-acid
and lithium-based batteries to zinc-bromine flow batteries. The unit
is easier to install than earlier models with AC connections
accessible via a single plate on its base and is also simple to
retrofit to an existing grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system, without
modification. The 18kg MultiPlus-II draws just 11 watts of standby
power, less than half that used by the model it supersedes.

As with all Victron inverter-chargers, the MultiPlus-II is a
transformer-based system. This gives it the capability to support
'surge' energy demands well above its continuous energy rating,
including the start-up load of high-demand devices such as air
conditioners and freezers. The MultiPlus-II has optional
Internet-enabled remote monitoring, both through the secure Victron
portal or via authenticated third-party applications. This remote
monitoring enables the 24/7 performance logging of the entire energy
system deployment.
