Eastman Auto & Power Ltd. has introduced ‘Solar Access LIB’, an 'all-in-one' storage solution that combines an inverter and lithium-ion battery stacks on a single platform. 

The company highlighted a few key features of this storage system in its press release. Chief among these is its MPPT solar charger featuring ‘ZERO DROP’ technology, which helps reduce energy losses and improves charging efficiency to up to 95%, resulting in higher solar energy harvesting. In comparison, a standard hybrid inverter consists of a diode-based solar charger, which causes energy losses and heat generation during operation. 

The system has 3 operational modes: solar-only, smart/PCU (AC-coupled), and hybrid mode (grid and solar). According to the company, this operational flexibility helps optimize performance and savings. In addition, its lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries offer leak-free, cleaner, and maintenance-free storage compared to standard lead-acid-based counterparts. 

On the safety front, its ‘PV Reserve Protection’ technology automatically detects and prevents potential damage due to incorrect DC wiring. The Eastman Solar App monitors and controls the storage system in real-time. 

Eastman’s Managing Director, Mr. Shekhar Singal, said, “With Solar Access LIB, our vision is to empower every household and small business with simple, efficient, and reliable access to clean energy. By making it available on Amazon, this cutting-edge product is just a click away for consumers across India.”
