We are pleased to introduce the Gietron + Discover Energy Systems Integrated Package, a fully integrated solar and energy storage solution that combines the Gietron 10 kW Split-Phase Hybrid (SPH) Inverter with the Discover HELIOS Energy Storage System (ESS).
Designed for residential and light-commercial applications, this partnership brings together advanced power electronics and intelligent battery storage in one seamless system. By combining Gietron’s hybrid inverter technology with Discover’s HELIOS ESS platform, homeowners, installers, and distributors gain a solution that is simpler to install, easier to commission, and optimized for long-term performance.
At the core of the system is closed-loop communication between the Gietron SPH inverter and the HELIOS ESS 4th-generation Battery Management System (BMS). Through CAN-based communication, the two platforms continuously exchange operating data to automatically manage charging, battery protection, and system health in real time.
One Integrated Platform
The Gietron SPH inverter directs power between Discover’s outdoor-rated 16 kWh LiFePO4 battery modules, solar panels, household loads, the grid, and even a backup generator.
The recommended configuration pairs one Gietron 10 kW SPH inverter with two HELIOS ESS battery modules, providing:
- 10 kW continuous AC output power
- 32 kWh of usable energy storage
- Up to 15 kW of PV input capacity
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)-class backup transfer in under 10 milliseconds
Whether supporting whole-home backup, maximizing solar self-consumption, or reducing utility costs through time-of-use optimization, the system is engineered to adapt to evolving energy needs.
Gietron Split-Phase Hybrid Inverter: Intelligent Energy Management
At the center of every installation is the Gietron SPH 10000TL-HU-US, engineered for high-performance residential and light-commercial energy storage projects.
Key capabilities include:
- 10.0 kW continuous power output delivering 41.7 A at 240 V split-phase service
- Three independent MPPTs supporting up to six PV strings
- Up to 15 kW DC solar input with a 1.5 DC/AC ratio
- 200 A battery charge and discharge capability
- 98.1% peak efficiency and 97% CEC-weighted efficiency
- Integrated generator support for extended outage protection
- IP65 enclosure for indoor or outdoor installation
- UPS-class backup transfer time below 10 milliseconds
When utility power is interrupted, the inverter transitions critical loads to battery power so quickly that lights, appliances, computers, networking equipment, and HVAC controls continue operating without interruption.
Discover HELIOS ESS: Scalable Energy Storage
Complementing the inverter is the Discover HELIOS ESS, a 16 kWh lithium battery module engineered for safety, longevity, and year-round operation.
Each HELIOS ESS module provides:
- 16 kWh usable energy capacity
- 51.2 V nominal voltage and 314 Ah capacity
- LiFePO4 chemistry with 4th-generation BMS
- 200 A continuous charge and discharge capability
- 300 A peak discharge current
- Integrated battery heating for cold-weather charging
- IP65 outdoor-rated galvanized-steel enclosure
- UL 1973, UL 9540, UL 9540A, and UN38.3 certifications
The recommended two-module configuration delivers 32 kWh of usable storage, while parallel expansion supports up to 36 battery modules, enabling future growth without replacing existing equipment.
Designed for Real-World Solar & Storage Projects
The integrated package was developed to support a wide range of applications, from new solar-plus-storage installations to retrofit and backup power projects.
Instant Whole-Home Backup
UPS-class transfer in under 10 milliseconds keeps essential household systems operating through outages, including refrigerators, well pumps, furnaces, internet equipment, office electronics, and lighting.
Flexible Capacity Expansion
Homeowners can start with a single 16 kWh battery module and add capacity as energy demands increase up to 576 kWh. The system scales from small residential installations to large estate homes and light-commercial facilities.
DC-Coupled or AC-Coupled Architectures
The platform supports both DC-coupled and AC-coupled system designs, making it suitable for new installations as well as existing solar retrofits.
Generator-Ready Operation
Integrated generator functionality allows battery charging during extended outages while maintaining priority-based energy management.
Installer-Friendly Commissioning
Closed-loop communication eliminates the need for manual battery programming and removes integration uncertainty, helping installers reduce commissioning time while improving long-term reliability.
Built for the Canadian Climate
The Gietron SPH inverter operates from –25°C to +60°C and is protected within an IP65-rated enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. The HELIOS ESS battery system can discharge at temperatures down to –25°C, while an integrated internal heater automatically warms the cells when charging is required below 4°C.
Closed-Loop Integration and Smart Monitoring
What truly distinguishes this solution is the integration between Gietron’s hybrid inverter platform and Discover’s battery management technology. Through closed-loop CAN communication, the inverter and battery continuously coordinate:
- Charge and discharge profiles
- State-of-charge management
- Voltage optimization
- Battery protection parameters
- System diagnostics and health monitoring
For daily operation, homeowners can access real-time monitoring through Gietron’s Synora energy management system, including:
- Solar production
- Battery state of charge
- Home consumption
- Grid import and export
- Historical performance trends
- Time-of-use scheduling
Installers also benefit from remote diagnostics, performance visibility, and firmware management capabilities that reduce service visits and improve customer support.
Simple, Professional Installation
The integrated package was designed with installation efficiency in mind. Features include:
- Integrated wireway for organized cable routing
- Dedicated communication and power pathways
- Adjustable floor-mount feet
- Optional wall-mount configuration
- Quick-connect battery terminals
- Clean conduit management options
The result is an installation that is professional in appearance, straightforward to service, and compliant with applicable electrical code requirements.
Backed by a 10-Year Warranty
The Gietron and Discover integrated solution is supported by a 10-year warranty, providing long-term confidence for homeowners, installers, and distribution partners.
Because both companies maintain active support networks in Canada, customers benefit from local technical expertise, streamlined warranty processing, responsive service, and readily available product support.
Two Canadian Energy Companies, One Complete Solution
Gietron (a brand of Gwatt Innovations Ltd., based in Calgary, Alberta) and Discover Energy Systems (a Canadian-based leader in advanced lithium energy storage, headquartered in Richmond, B.C., with over 75 years of heritage in the power sector) built this partnership on a shared commitment: seamless technological integration backed by responsive local service.
