Webinars

Watch this joint webinar between KiloVault and Morningstar to learn:

• Advantages of lithium storage and specifically KiloVault’s Lithium Ferro-Phosphate (LFP)
  chemistry: longer cycle life with none of the safety, toxicity and sustainability issues found with other lithium types.
• Review of solar charging technologies
• KiloVault’s innovative line-up, from easily-deployable back-up and portable power units to the HAB wall-mounted integrated and scalable storage system
• Monitoring and communications features including WiFi and Bluetooth
• Pre-programmed settings for easy integration
• And much more

Industry expert Rob Rallo, of Solar System Services, joins the Morningstar team to present a thorough system sizing example for an off-grid telecom application. You’ll learn how to build a highly-reliable system that will stand the test of time, with emphasis on:

• Load array and battery sizing calculations
• Accounting for system losses, future expansion and worst-case scenarios
• Choosing the right charge controller based on industry-standard IEEE 1562 recommendations
• Software and insolation mapping resources available to design a better system

Why do things the old-fashioned way when we’ve done the homework for you? Especially if you have more productive things to do with your time than calculating off-grid solar string sizes for off-grid systems. Instead, invest an hour in Morningstar’s recorded webinar and learn to:

• Figure out the optimum string sizing for your system—series, parallel configurations, load requirements, etc.
• Find specifications for over 100,000 module brand SKU’s
• Input custom module specifications
• Access detailed power output results to find out how your module configuration will work with other components in your system
• Learn the module configurations to avoid, because they could cause operational faults or even damage your charge controller.
• Save and share output results with others

This recorded webinar addresses solar charge controller selection and the benefits of often overlooked load control features to maintain battery health and improve system reliability in critical remote power applications. You will learn about:

• Reliable load operation – what does that mean to you exactly?
• Loss of Load Probability – what’s your tolerance and how big is your wallet?
• When and why loads should disconnect
• “Problem” loads and how to handle them
• System monitoring—what can load consumption tell you about what’s going on at your site
• Planning larger systems, adding generators, and much more

View this recorded webinar to learn how select Morningstar products can be used with the Ethernet MeterBus Converter accessory (EMC-1) to enable SNMP.  You can monitor your solar power systems through the same popular software platforms that manage your network and IT equipment to:

• Diagnose system health
• Monitor the status of specific proprietary Morningstar product alarm and fault codes
• Identify problems early to reduce or eliminate system downtime
• Access powerful IT and network management tools including data analytics and graphic displays
