Product updates and technical notes
New releases from our technology partners, and notes on solar, battery, and electrical technology from the Peak Power team.
Victron Click & Design: a new ESS design tool for our team, not our customers
Victron's new Click & Design tool lets us simulate a 48V ESS system hour-by-hour over a full year before a single panel goes on the roof. It's not something customers use directly, but it's a welcome addition to how Peak Power designs and validates systems before install.

Node-RED on Victron GX Devices: Advanced Automation for Nepal
Victron's GX devices are small network computers that give a human-friendly interface into a power system and export telemetry to the VRM portal. With Node-RED now available on them, we can go a lot further — building custom automations for generator control, load control, and diversion that we've been developing for about two years.

BYD lithium batteries now available in Nepal
BYD's Battery-Box lithium iron phosphate storage line is now available in Nepal through Peak Power. Here's a quick primer on the technology, and which inverters we recommend pairing it with.
·
Victron Multi HS19 Solar 15k now available in Nepal
Victron's first inverter/charger built for high-voltage 650-1000V battery systems — a rack-mounted 15kW/32kW-solar unit that slides into the same 19-inch rack as compatible high-voltage lithium battery banks, the kind of rack-mounted lithium storage Peak Power is installing more of.
·
Victron MultiPlus 48/20000/250-100 now available in Nepal
A 20,000 VA inverter/charger in a single unit — Victron's largest single-frame MultiPlus, letting larger-capacity systems be built from smaller stacks of inverters instead of jumping straight to industrial three-phase gear.
·
Pylontech US5000 lithium batteries now available in Nepal
Pylontech's US5000 rack-mount lithium battery — a widely trusted battery used in solar and storage systems worldwide, especially alongside Victron Energy and SMA inverters — is now available in Nepal through Peak Power.
·
Victron SolarSense 750 now available in Nepal
A fully wireless, self-powered sensor that clips onto a solar panel frame and reports real irradiance, estimated power, and yield — giving system owners an independent reference to compare actual array performance against, and to spot degradation over time.
·
New Sacred Sun battery options now available in Nepal
Sacred Sun has expanded its battery lineup in Nepal beyond the original industrial gel battery, adding a new industrial lead-carbon battery and a lithium iron phosphate battery in rack-mount modules. Here's how the three compare.
·
SMA Sunny Island X now available in Nepal
The next generation of SMA's battery inverter line is now available through Peak Power — high-voltage, transformerless, and built for both on-grid and off-grid systems in 30 kW and 50 kW three-phase models.
·Victron Microgrid now available in Nepal
Victron's new Microgrid system lets independent inverter/charger installations share one AC bus and scale together — with no central controller needed. Peak Power now designs and installs Victron Microgrid systems in Nepal.
·SMA blog features our Gutu microgrid project
SMA's corporate blog spotlighted our 100 kW Gutu microgrid, on how a solar and battery mini-grid brought reliable electricity to around 1,000 people in a remote Nepali village for the first time.
·Victron Energy blog features our Olane microgrid project
Victron Energy's blog covered our Olane microgrid — 120 power poles, 4 km of overhead line, and a 39 kW Quattro inverter stack bringing a first-ever electricity connection to a remote community in eastern Nepal.
·Victron Energy blog features our Simigoan microgrid project
Victron Energy's blog told the story of Simigoan, a Sherpa and Tamang village on the Gaurishankar trekking route where we hand-carried a solar and battery microgrid up the mountain to work alongside their earthquake-damaged micro-hydro system.
