EcoFlow Solar Hybrid Inverter
Smarter solar energy storage for NZ homes
Want to get more from your solar panels, use more of your own electricity and have backup power when the grid goes down?
The EcoFlow OCEAN 2 Hybrid Inverter is an all-in-one home energy storage solution designed to bring solar generation, battery storage, intelligent energy management and backup power together in one system.
Smart homeowners choose EcoFlow OCEAN 2 – it offers a practical way to store daytime solar energy and use it when you need it most, including after the sun goes down or during a power outage.
What is the EcoFlow OCEAN 2?
The EcoFlow OCEAN 2 is a modular home battery and hybrid inverter system that can connect solar generation, battery storage and household energy use.
Also, the single-phase hybrid inverter supports up to 12kW of PV input, with battery capacity expandable using multiple battery modules. EcoFlow uses LiFePO₄ battery chemistry and states a battery life of up to 10,000 cycles, with a 15-year warranty on the 5kWh battery configuration.
That means your system can be designed around how your household uses energy today, with the option to expand as your energy needs change.
How does the EcoFlow OCEAN 2 work with solar?
During the day, your solar panels generate electricity for your home.
Any suitable surplus can be stored in the OCEAN 2 battery rather than being exported to the grid.
Hence that stored energy can then be used later, helping you make better use of your own solar generation during the evening, at times of higher electricity prices or when the grid is unavailable.
EcoFlow also provides intelligent home energy management through its ecosystem and app, allowing homeowners to monitor and manage energy production, storage and consumption.
Easily expand capacity by adding new packs alongside existing ones – fully compatible and intelligently managed.
