| Features | |
|---|---|
| Internal Battery Protection | Boosting longevity with our intelligent features: Temperature Protection for safe operations in all conditions, LVD/LVR for optimized battery health by smart load disconnection, and Cell Balancing, ensuring efficient performance with safety checks |
| Smart Battery Charge Profile | MPPT patented multi-stage charging, remote software configurable charge profile designed specifically for solar charging. Using 200W when available, it adapts to sun changes, absorbing optimal power. Inbuilt safety systems prevent overcharging, managing battery levels smartly. |
| Load Protection | I/O overload protection, short circuit and low voltage disconnect, and transient voltage protection across all load I/O’s. Protection mechanism ensures safety, automatically cutting off and resuming power when necessary. Real-time alerts and notifications keep you informed of any power issues. All protections have two level capability – both hardware failsafe and normal software control. High availability features - variable overload and short circuit multi-try, and variable surge current management. |
| Load Management Scheduling | Event engine enables proactive load management to enable off-hours scheduling as normal operation and also in certain degraded service/outage scenarios. Coupled with Illumience’s weather and energy forecasting, any service impacts can be scheduled for off-hours to ensure maximum SLA to users. Adjust voltage levels individually for each output. |
| Remote Software Update | New features delivered to all devices via remote software download on an ongoing basis as part of Clear Blue’s management service, three years of which is included in upfront price. |
