What we like about the VARTA pulse 6?
✓ It can be installed on ANY solar system
It doesn’t matter what inverter is used on the solar system. The VARTA pulse 6 is simply wired into the switchboard and monitors energy that is exported to the grid. The VARTA pulse 6 automatically stores any excess solar energy for use at night.

The VARTA pulse can be installed on any existing solar system without making any modifications to the solar system. This means there are no costs involved with modifying the existing solar system or changes that could negatively affect the original warranty.

The VARTA pulse is simply installed on the wall and wired into the switchboard so it is very quick to install. This keeps costs down and ensures that every installation is high quality.
