SkyBox
Self contained energy system
SkyBox gives everyone freedom and independence from the power grid.
Balancing power sources and storing excess energy
SkyBox is a self contained energy system with an optional battery, Victron inverter and switches all housed in a custom weatherproof enclosure. SkyBox gives everyone freedom and independence from the power grid. Acting as a central ‘brain,’ the SkyBox manages incoming power from your solar, wind, or hydro generators. Balancing these power sources and storing excess energy in the internal batteries, SkyBox creates a reliable off-grid electricity supply. Since any electrician can install it, you can save thousands compared to installing an off grid solar system, through an off grid installer or provider.
For indoor and outdoor use
The SkyBox is designed for both indoor and outdoor use and provides enormous battery capacity in one cabinet. Because of this, you can enjoy all the luxury of being on the grid while being off the grid! When you want to expand, simply add more batteries to suit your storage requirements. SkyBox protects your home with full off-grid power! Reduce the cost of going off-grid and generate your own energy today.
Since developing the SkyBox, our focus has always been to make the installer’s life as easy as possible to install the SkyBox. With this in mind, we continue to make updates to the SkyBox, which we have detailed below:
1. Addition of an external switchboard. This makes it easier to wire AC connections, including AC out and AC in (generator input). There is no longer a need for cabinet penetrations.
2. Manual changeover switch added. If the inverter fails, it can be bypassed to operate off the generator until a technician arrives to fix it.
3. DC isolators have been added to the side of the box. These were previously supplied separately in the electrical kit for the installer to assemble.
4. Generator Auto start contacts added to the external switchboard. This allows for easier access and wiring.
5. Earth Protection is standard to the 3kVA and 5kVA and via RS450/100’s in the 8kVA and the 10kVA,
6. 4G LTE module and puck added as standard to the 8kVA and 10kVA and optional for the 3kVA and 5kVA. The addition of the modules gives Sky Energy the ability to log in and troubleshoot as required.
7. An internal rejig of components has enabled the 3kVA + 5kVA to house 4x Pylontech US5000-B batteries offering up to 19.2kWh of battery storage. The 8kVA + 10kVA cabinets can now house 8x Pylontech US5000-B batteries offering up to 38.4kWh of battery storage.
8. Fans have been upgraded on all models for better cooling of the components.
9. All SkyBox cabinets have a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) before being shipped to site.
