Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How quickly can the GCB-C1200 be deployed on site?
The GCB-C1200 ships as a fully assembled, pre-commissioned 20ft ISO container from E-Able Power's factory. On-site work is minimal: prepare a level concrete pad with adequate load-bearing (~20t including safety factor), connect AC cables from the PCS, connect communication (Ethernet/4G), and power on. No field assembly of battery racks, no separate HVAC installation, no fire system integration — all subsystems are factory-integrated and tested. Typical deployment from container arrival to commissioning: 3–5 days. ISO corner castings enable standard container trucks and cranes for transport and positioning.
Q: Which PCS brands and operating modes are supported?
The GCB-C1200 is validated for AC-coupling with Sungrow, Kehua, Sinexcel, and Kelong 500kW PCS platforms (configurable to 630kW). Four operating modes: (1) On-Grid — peak shaving, TOU arbitrage, frequency regulation; (2) Off-Grid — islanded microgrid with seamless transfer; (3) Hybrid — PV/wind integration with grid-fallback; (4) Black-Start — grid restoration capability. Grid voltage configurable at 400/480/690Vac, 50/60Hz. Confirm PCS brand, grid parameters, and operating mode before order. We validates compatibility and provides a single-line diagram in the technical proposal.
Q: Can multiple GCB-C1200 units be paralleled for larger capacity?
Yes. Multiple GCB-C1200 containers can be paralleled on the AC side through a common AC bus or individual PCS units, enabling multi-MWh installations (e.g., 2 units = 2.4MWh, 5 units = 6MWh). Each container operates as an independent DC battery system with its own BMS, EMS, HVAC, and fire suppression — no single point of failure across the fleet. The central SCADA platform (Web portal + mobile app) aggregates monitoring data from all units. We provides the system-level single-line diagram, PCS coordination design, and paralleling scheme as part of the engineering package.
Q: What site conditions and maintenance does the GCB-C1200 require?
Site requirements: level concrete pad rated for ~20t per container, minimum 1.5m clearance on door side for service access, AC and communication cable routes. Operating ambient: -30 to 50 °C with internal HVAC maintaining 20–30 °C for battery cells. Altitude up to 2,000m without derating (higher altitudes on request). Annual maintenance: HVAC filter cleaning, visual inspection of container seals and cable glands, BMS SoH data review, and bolt torque check. LFP cells require no water, no equalization, and no electrolyte — near-zero battery maintenance. Individual modules are accessible via the container's internal aisle for replacement without removing other modules. Remote monitoring and diagnostics included.
