Product Downloads & Technical Guides
Can the Escape20 be used as a true UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)?
Yes. The Escape20 operates as a true UPS, delivering seamless power with no noticeable interruption during an outage. Unlike many systems that have a transfer time of <20 m/s, the Escape20 provides a 0 m/s changeover. This means connected equipment continues running without disruption, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience for the end user.
Can the Escape20 control AC-coupled PV systems?
Yes. The Escape20 is compatible with AC-coupled PV systems and can control supported inverters from manufacturers such as Fronius and SMA. This allows for greater flexibility in system design and integration with existing or new solar installations.
Can the Escape20 export energy to the grid?
No. The Escape20 is not designed to export energy to the grid. It is installed behind the meter and is seen by the grid as a load rather than a generation source. While it can use grid power for charging, it does not feed energy back into the grid.
