Inverter Chargers optimised for Minimising Generator Use.
Selectronic SP PRO Interactive Inverter Chargers use the battery bank to store excess energy from renewable sources (normally PV solar) for periods when power demand is low. When the power demand is too high for the inverter alone,
or when the battery bank requires recharging, the inverter automatically starts a generator. This unique range of inverter chargers allow sharing of the load between the inverter and the generator set to maximise power output capacity. The SP PRO Series inverters is the latest development of Interactive Inverter Chargers by Selectronic. By managing all the functions of an off-grid power system, the SP PRO inverter ensures the efficient supply of mains quality power to the customer’s load as required. These functions include managing battery bank charge state, maximising renewable energy sources and operating the generator as required.
Sizes range from 3 kW to 20 kW for a single-phase system, 6 kW to 40 kW for a split-phase system and 9 kW to 60 kW for the SP PRO in a three-phase configuration. Simple settings in the included SP LINK software enable the SP PRO to be configured for use in leisure and remote power systems. The SP PRO is suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Designed from the ground up, the SP PRO features advanced thermal power management and super high-speed digital signal processing; setting new standards for reliability, features, surge capability and power density.
Add Reliable Battery Backup to existing Solar Inverters
This versatile grid feed inverter offers the ability to store energy in and use energy from a battery storage system. Whether you wish to install a new solar hybrid system or update your existing renewable energy system to Solar Hybrid, the SP PRO provides the solution.
Being compatible with most forms of renewable energy including DC and AC couple PV Solar, micro-hydro and wind, the SP PRO can be incorporated into virtually any grid-tie system.
Program it to maximise your Net Feed-In-Tariff
The SP PRO Solar Hybrid function allows the user to feed virtually all of their renewable energy back into the grid to maximise their net feed-in tariff.
The SP PRO minimises the solar power consumed by the user by shifting the user’s day time consumption to a time of low tariff.
Minimise your power bill by optimising the feed-in Tariffs
An SP PRO solar hybrid system gives you back control of your electricity bill. By appropriately balancing grid power with the available renewable energy and stored battery energy, the SP PRO minimises your electricity bill. With an SP PRO solar hybrid system you decide how much you pay for your power, not the utility.
Reliable Backup Power giving you Security and Peace of Mind.
During a power outage, the SP PRO solar hybrid systems will supply the load from the renewable energy source whilst storing any excess energy in the battery bank to be used as needed. This gives the user continuous power and peace of mind.
Managed AC Coupling – the advanced solar method.
- Combine the SP PRO inverter with Fronius or ABB inverters in a Selectronic AC coupling configuration, for a fully integrated and managed Solar Hybrid system.
- System sizes from 3kW to 20kW single phase (with up to 30kW of PV solar), 6kW to 40kW split phase (with up to 60kW of PV solar) and 9kW to 60kW three phase (with up to 90kW of PV solar) the SP PRO Series of inverters is suitable for use in On Grid power systems for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
- By connecting up to 5 Fronius or ABB Grid Tie inverters to the AC Load side (output) of any single phase SP PRO system, it is now possible to utilise efficient high voltage PV arrays that are located remotely from the battery bank.
- This allows you to continue to use a wide choice of PV installers and common components; no need to be concerned about cable loss in long, expensive low voltage cable runs.
- By creating an AC Bus, an AC Coupled system will allow PV energy to be efficiently used directly by the load with excess PV energy going back through the bi-directional SP PRO to charge batteries or export to the grid.
- PV energy will continue to be utilised at all times, regardless of generator or grid availability.
- The battery charging system in the SP PRO has proven unmatched in control and stability. This has now been extended into PV based AC Coupled systems.
- The SP PRO RS485 link provides the same precise control over the AC Coupled PV. Regardless of the charging source, your batteries will enjoy maximum life with SP PRO charging
Selectronic-Certified Grid Tie inverters (Perfectly controlled by the Sp Pro inverter)
Selectronic has added the ABB UNO-DM-PLUS (ABB UNO), single-phase range of Grid inverters to its Selectronic Certified offerings.
Incorporating Selectronic’s Smart Link and available in 3.3kW, 4kW, 5kW and 6kW sizes, the Selectronic Certified ABB UNO will replace the outgoing Selectronic Certified ABB PVI inverters.
The Smart Link communication between the ABB and Selectronic SP PRO battery inverter will allow fast control of the PV output from the ABB UNO in AC Coupled systems. Thanks to highly responsive control loops, the PV control is the fastest Selectronic has achieved with Selectronic Certified inverters to date; this will result in smooth, well controlled battery charging for maximum battery life and smooth export control.
Up to five ABB UNO inverters can be controlled by a single SP PRO, allowing up to 15 ABB UNO units on a 3 phase system. ABB UNO is ideal for Off-Grid systems, On-Grid with battery storage, or export control with an SP PRO. The new ABB UNO is compatible with Selectronic Certified ABB PVI inverters already installed in a managed AC Coupled Battery system.

Selectronic Certified Grid-Tie Inverters
Selectronic Managed AC Coupling
To utilise all of the possibilities of an SP Pro inverter, it needs to communicate with a Selectronic Certified grid-tie inverter.
These inverters contain hardware and software to enable direct communication with the SP PRO. This means that the SP PRO has control of the flow of energy from the solar panels with as fine control as 0.1% steps. This is known as Managed AC Coupling technology which was developed by Selectronic in 2010, and cannot be achieved with a generic grid-tie inverter.
The Selectronic Certified grid-tie inverter can be considered as an AC MPPT. By creating an AC Bus, an AC coupled system will allow PV energy to be efficiently used directly by the load with excess PV energy going back through the multi-mode SP PRO to charge batteries or export to the grid.
A maximum of five (5) Selectronic Certified inverters can be controlled by any single SP PRO, but the total AC output of the combined grid-tie inverters must not exceed twice the continuous power rating of the SP PRO, or the SP PRO 30 second rating, whichever is smallest.
When using a Selectronic Certified grid-tie inverter, site consumption and generation data will be logged by the SP PRO including the AC coupled solar production.
When to use Selectronic Certified grid-tie inverters
We recommend a Selectronic Certified grid-tie inverter for maximum system efficiency and flexibility, however one must be used with an SP PRO in the following situations:
- Off-grid AC coupling
- Solar Hybrid AC coupling with Fixed Export Limit requirements (with or without batteries)
- Solar Hybrid AC coupling where twice the PV to SP PRO rating is required
Want solar but not ready to add battery storage?
Using a Selectronic Certified grid-tie inverter allows you to have a grid-tie solar power system today and add a fully managed battery storage system at a later date. This is a cost-effective, future-ready solution.

Boost performance and reliability with one smart inverter
When you need increased capacity, reliability or functionality of your electricity grid, the Selectronic SP PRO series of battery-based Inverters will have the answers.
Boost customer supply capacity
In “fringe of grid” situations, a property may require more power than the grid can supply, but upgrading lines may not be practical or economical. In this situation, an SP PRO is placed at the customer’s premises with a battery bank. When the supply limit is exceeded additional energy will come from the SP PRO via the batteries, and when the load is decreased grid energy will be used to charge batteries again if required. Renewable Energy sources can provide power to recharge the batteries, feed this into the grid or to be used onsite.
Boosting Grid supply capacity
Using an external controller, the SP PRO can be commanded to feed stored battery energy at any power factor into the grid, augmenting supply capacity. Commanding the SP PRO is a specialist feature made available under a signed agreement.
Peak lopping
An SP PRO strategically placed within a network can be programmed or commanded to cap the peak demand to a known limit, preventing line overload and the associated costs due to loss of supply. Use of this feature allows a fast and cost-effective means of increasing network capacity, either temporarily or permanently. Consequently, line utilisation is both predictable and controllable.
Load shedding
It is often required that a branch line will need to be isolated for safety, maintenance or load shed purposes.
Properties or subdivisions with SP PRO support will enjoy an uninterrupted power supply, thus demanding a lower priority response. This gives greater flexibility and efficiency to line restoration crews.
Quality of supply
Exposure to liability claims is a major concern in today’s business world.
Quality of supply can be maintained regardless of line irregularities with the rapid detection and islanding capabilities of the SP PRO.
Smart Grid
Future developments will see the SP PRO integrate within the AMI infrastructure via industry-standard protocols. With so much flexibility within the SP PRO and incorporated into a Smart Grid, the possibilities of control and integration into smart storage systems are numerous.
Balance of system
SP PRO + LG Chem RESU = outstanding storage
