KOSTAL presents the new PIKO CI 100 inverter for commercial applications as a powerful addition to the popular PIKO CI series. Since its introduction in 2020, the PIKO CI series has established itself as a successful product line. Due to the high demand for powerful commercial inverters, KOSTAL is expanding the series to include a variant with 100 kW.
The PIKO CI 100 can be ordered now and is expected to be delivered at the beginning of next year. This inverter offers numerous smart features, including 100 kW power, arc detection with automated event reporting and type 2 overvoltage protection on the AC and DC sides. The AC Smart Switch provides automatic decoupling from the grid if necessary. Installation is convenient via the PIKO CI app, and the swarm connection enables flexible expansions when expanding larger PV systems.
The PIKO CI 100 is ideal for EPC company, commercial and agricultural projects. The IP66-certified housing enables use indoors, on facades and outdoors. In addition, the PIKO CI 100 can be combined with compatible storage units to store generated solar energy and use it later. In combination with the KOSTAL PLENTICORE BI, the user has a choice of battery storage units from many well-known manufacturers, such as BYD or LG. An overview of all compatible storage units can be found here.
