Section 1: Introduction
About the Harbor Smart Battery
The Harbor Smart Battery is an easy-to-install energy storage device for efficient DC-coupled
performance. As a storage component of the Pika Energy Island, Harbor Smart Battery models
can be used for grid-connected solar applications such as self-supply, rate arbitrage and clean
backup power. Both the Harbor Flex™ and Harbor Plus™ models are designed to work seamlessly
with Pika Energy’s S2500 Series PV Link optimizers, and X7600 and X11400 Series Islanding
Inverters to form the Pika Energy Island system for grid-tie solar-plus-storage.
All Pika Energy products use the REbus™ 380VDC nanogrid to connect energy sources, storage,
loads and the grid. The REbus nanogrid automates the flow of power to enable plug-and-play
setup and operation of Pika Energy equipment. For more information about REbus, visit pika-
energy.com.
In the diagram below, a REbus compatible Pika Islanding Inverter is directly connected to PV Link
optimizers and high voltage energy storage on the DC (REbus) line, shown to the the left of the
inverter. To the right of the inverter are AC lines: 240VAC or 208VAC for grid and home loads, and
critical load support up to 50A.
