SETA: The Energy of the Future Is Already Here – The Storage System that Changes the Game
SETA: the safe, sustainable, and retrofit-ready salt-based storage system for home energy independence.
At the heart of the energy transition, amidst photovoltaic panels and heat pumps, a silent yet revolutionary player emerges: SETA, the salt-based battery storage system developed by GSI. In a landscape where efficiency and sustainability are more than just trends, but a true necessity, SETA stands as a tangible, advanced response to a growing demand: making renewable energy truly autonomous, accessible, and safe.
Designed to adapt to any type of installation, SETA is a retrofit system that can be seamlessly integrated with both new and existing photovoltaic systems, thanks to the addition of a string inverter. This flexibility makes it one-of-a-kind, ready to power the present and future of energy self-sufficiency.
Main Sections:
1. Why SETA is different from other storage systems
SETA is not just an energy accumulator: it’s an integrated ecosystem. Thanks to its use of salt batteries (Sodium-Nickel), SETA stands out for the sustainability of its materials, its lack of fire or explosion risks, and its long lifespan of over 20 years, with consistent performance even under extreme weather conditions. This isn’t a promise for the future: SETA is ready today to change the rules of the energy game.
2. Salt battery: a natural and safe choice
The salt battery is a proven, yet still underused technology that offers a solid and safe alternative to traditional lithium batteries. Operating at a constant temperature of 250°C, it delivers high efficiency without producing toxic gases or posing explosion risks. At the end of its lifecycle, the battery can be regenerated and reused, further minimizing environmental impact.
3. A partner for your energy independence
SETA is designed to communicate directly with the photovoltaic system and GSI heat pumps, intelligently optimizing energy consumption. In the event of a blackout, it acts as an emergency generator to keep essential loads running—such as refrigerators, safety lighting, and heating or cooling systems. It’s a reliable, modular system that grows with your needs.
4. Plug & play installation, real-time monitoring
SETA comes as a complete, easy-to-install, ready-to-use kit. It includes a control and monitoring suite accessible via app from any internet-connected device. This allows you to monitor charge levels, consumption, and interaction with the photovoltaic system or heat pump in real time, wherever you are. Connectivity is available via Wi-Fi or wired network, and it’s compatible with any provider.
5. RETROFIT compatibility and advanced operating modes
One of SETA’s most significant advantages is its retrofit capability: it can be installed on both existing and new photovoltaic systems, as it connects to the AC side. This makes it the ideal solution for anyone looking to upgrade their energy system without having to start from scratch.
Among its advanced features:
- Peak shaving to prevent grid overloads and reduce energy costs.
- Internal battery temperature control to optimize charging and discharging.
- EPS (Emergency Power Supply) to ensure power availability even during grid outages.
- Compatibility with single-phase and three-phase systems, expandable up to 6 battery modules (up to 57,600 Wh).
6. Seamless integration with the AIER system
SETA can be integrated with the intelligent AIER system (Energy Saving System), developed by GSI, to maximize self-consumption and efficiently coordinate the energy produced, stored, and used. This leads to direct savings on energy bills and a lower environmental impact, along with the ability to connect to platforms for managing energy communities.
7. Reliability made in Italy
GSI, an Italian company with over 18 years of experience in renewable energy, designs and develops every component of its systems in-house, ensuring top quality, full internal control, and continuous innovation. SETA is the result of a research journey that brings together mechanics, electronics, software, and a passion for the environment.
