<h1>Legal risks for manufacturers, installers and operators from new modular DC-coupled inverters, grid-forming ESS and V2G chargers</h1> A global PV inverter and energy storage provider unveiled new commercial, utility-scale and residential energy systems at a major Australian industry event, promoting modular DC-coupled hybrid inverters, large containerised ESS with grid-forming capability, modular utility inverters, home storage with whole-home backup, and a V2G charger. The announcement emphasizes scalability, efficiency, safety features and software-enabled energy management, and cites local operations and market awards. From a legal perspective the claims implicate product-safety, electrical and fire-compliance, warranty and consumer-protection obligations, advertising/regulatory scrutiny over performance and grid-service participation, and potential contractual and liability issues for installers and operators.
