What It Is
The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS is a complete commercial and industrial energy storage solution sold as two coordinated units: an outdoor LFP battery cabinet from the BluePulse BC series BC197DE2 (197 kWh) or BC215DE2 (215 kWh) and a wall-mounted hybrid inverter from the KAC DP2 series (KAC80DP2, KAC100DP2, KAC110DP2 or KAC125DP2). The KSTAR BluePulse Series C&I ESS battery cabinet is delivered factory-built with the modules, the air-conditioner cooling unit, the full safety package and the integrated BMS already inside, the hybrid inverter mounts separately on a wall and connects via the DC and CAN/RS485 ports.
CGP Solar offers eight pre-engineered KSTAR BluePulse Series 80-125 kW C&I ESS combinations that fit typical Cyprus C&I sites — the 80 kW + 197 kWh, 80 kW + 215 kWh, 100 kW + 197 kWh, 100 kW + 215 kWh, 110 kW + 197 kWh, 110 kW + 215 kWh, 125 kW + 197 kWh and 125 kW + 215 kWh. These cover most factory, hotel and agricultural projects in the 80 kW–125 kW peak load class.
Cell Manufacturer
KSTAR officially confirms CATL as the cell manufacturer for the BC197DE2 and BC215DE2 cabinets — both use CATL’s 280 Ah LFP cells. CATL is the global leader in LFP cell production for stationary storage. Buying a KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS means the cells inside the cabinet are not white-label or rebadged. This level of transparency about cell origin is unusual in the C&I ESS market.
The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS battery cabinet is rated IP54 with C4 anti-corrosion, so it can be installed outdoors on a concrete pad without needing an enclosure building. The operating temperature range is −30 °C to +50 °C, with a built-in air-conditioner cooling unit to keep the cells inside the optimum thermal band even through Cyprus summer heat. The cabinet footprint is 1324 × 2415 × 1440 mm (W × H × D), weight is under 2.4 tonnes for the 197 kWh variant and under 2.55 tonnes for the 215 kWh variant.
Every KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS uses KSTAR’s own integrated battery management system (BMS) and energy management system (EMS). The system supports self-consumption, peak shifting, time-of-use and battery backup as operating modes — all selectable from the cloud monitoring portal. Communication uses Ethernet, CAN and RS485 ports with CAN and TCP protocols, keeping the KSTAR BluePulse C&I ESS compatible with most third-party SCADA and building-management systems.
See It In Action
KSTAR has published a short product video walking through the BluePulse Series — the cabinet, the inverter, key specifications and design features. Worth two minutes if you want a manufacturer-led overview before going deeper into the datasheet.

Who This Is For
KSTAR specifies the BluePulse Series for factories, hotels, and farms with DC or AC-coupled solar-storage. In practice, the right Cyprus customer profile for a KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS class looks like this:
Four inverter sizes × two battery cabinets = eight pre-engineered KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS combinations. Choose the inverter by your peak load and PV array, choose the battery cabinet by how many hours of energy autonomy you need.
Max PV figures are taken directly from the KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS datasheet V3 (November 2025). Actual PV array size depends on roof orientation, shading and target self-consumption ratio.
Why It Stands Out
The DP2-family inverters inside the KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS achieve a maximum efficiency of 98%, with 8 MPPT trackers (2 strings per MPPT) and a wide MPPT voltage range of 250–950 V DC (max input 1000 V). On the battery side they support a wide range of 200–950 V DC — designed to pair seamlessly with the BC197DE2 and BC215DE2 cabinets.
KSTAR specifies an on/off-grid switching time of approximately 10 ms, with direct output to backup loads. No external switching device or transfer switch is required for the KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS. Sensitive loads — servers, production line PLCs, refrigeration compressors — generally ride through a 10 ms transfer without rebooting or tripping.
The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS battery modules use 280 Ah large-capacity LFP cells manufactured by CATL. Battery module capacity is 17.92 kWh; the system uses 11 modules (197 kWh variant) or 12 modules (215 kWh variant) per cabinet. The chemistry is lithium iron phosphate — the most thermally stable lithium chemistry on the market and the global standard for stationary C&I storage.
The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS works with both DC-coupled topology (PV connected directly to the hybrid inverter) and AC-coupled topology (separate PV inverter on the AC side). DC coupling is more efficient for new installations; AC coupling is the choice for adding the KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS to an existing PV plant that already has its own grid-tie inverter.
Backup Power
When the grid drops, the KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS switches to backup output in approximately 10 ms — fast enough that most sensitive electronics never even notice. There’s no external transfer switch required, the inverter has direct backup output built in.
How much you can power during the outage depends on the inverter size. Here are real backup capacities from the KSTAR BluePulse C&I ESS datasheet:
Usable capacity at 90% DoD: 177 kWh (197 kWh cabinet) or 193 kWh (215 kWh cabinet). Real runtime at typical commercial loads (30–60% of inverter rating) is substantially longer — often 4–8 hours.
Below is a practical guide based on continuous loads. Actual runtime depends on cabinet size, state of charge when the outage hits, and how many loads are running at once. All examples assume the 100 kW / 215 kWh KSTAR BluePulse C&I ESS variant with a fully charged battery.
The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS backup output is three-phase (3L+PE+N at 230/400 V or 220/380 V). Max single-phase output is 50 kW across all DP2 models — meaning if one phase carries most of your critical load, the system can handle up to 50 kW on that single phase, with the rest balanced across the other two phases up to the full system limit.
Every KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS hybrid inverter has a dedicated generator (genset) input with up to 220 A capacity. If your site already has a backup generator, the BluePulse can co-ordinate with it: battery handles short outages and the smooth response window; the generator kicks in only for extended events. This combination is common on agricultural and industrial sites where outages can last hours.
The most common mistake in C&I backup design is treating every load as critical. CGP Solar splits backup planning into four groups:
This load-tier split is configured at install. The integrated EMS in every KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS supports automatic load shedding based on battery state of charge, so the system protects itself and extends backup time without manual intervention.
Safety Architecture
The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS outdoor cabinet ships with the following safety hardware as standard — no need to source any of it separately. All items are listed on the KSTAR datasheet for the BC197DE2 and BC215DE2 cabinets:
The cabinet has passed every standard test that matters — fire safety (UL 9540A), shipping (UN 38.3), chemical disclosure (MSDS), inverter safety (IEC 62040, 62477), battery cell and system safety (IEC 62619, 63056), and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 61000).

FAQ’s
Yes. The battery cabinet is rated for operation from −30 °C to +50 °C ambient and uses an integrated air-conditioner cooling unit to keep the cells at the optimum internal temperature regardless of outside heat. The hybrid inverter is rated from −25 °C to +60 °C with derating above +45 °C. The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS sits well inside the design envelope for Cyprus conditions.
Yes. The cabinet is rated IP54 with C4 anti-corrosion. It is designed to sit on a concrete pad outdoors. The inverter is rated IP65 and is wall-mounted — typically inside a service room or in a sheltered outdoor location.
Yes. KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS supports both DC-coupling (PV connected directly to the KAC hybrid inverter via its 8 MPPT trackers) and AC-coupling (existing PV continues to use its own grid-tie inverter, the KSTAR BluePulse system sits on the AC side). AC-coupling is typical when adding storage to an existing PV installation.
KSTAR specifies the on/off-grid switching time of the BluePulse C&I ESS at approximately 10 ms. The system supports direct output to backup loads without a separate switching device or transfer switch.
Self-consumption, peak shifting, time-of-use and battery backup. Modes are configurable through KSTAR’s integrated EMS via cloud portal.
It depends on cabinet size and how much of the site is on the backup circuit. With a fully charged 100 kW / 215 kWh KSTAR BluePulse C&I ESS (193 kWh usable at 90% DoD): around 1.9 hours at full 100 kW load, 3–5 hours at typical commercial loads of 40–60 kW, or 14+ hours running only essential loads of 10–15 kW. Real runtime depends on state of charge when the outage starts and which load groups you keep online — both planned at install.
KSTAR’s official warranty is two-part: a 5-year product warranty covering the full KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS (battery cabinet, hybrid inverter, BMS, EMS, cooling, safety hardware), plus a 10-year performance/cycle warranty covering the CATL LFP battery’s usable capacity. CGP Solar, as authorised KSTAR distributor in Cyprus, handles all warranty claims directly.
No. The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW Commercial ESS has direct backup output built into the hybrid inverter with approximately 10 ms on/off-grid switching. No external transfer switch or separate UPS is required — sensitive loads like servers and PLCs ride through the 10 ms transfer without rebooting.
Yes. The KSTAR BluePulse 80-125 kW C&I ESS hybrid inverter has a dedicated genset input rated up to 220 A. For long outages, the battery handles the fast response window and short events, while the generator covers extended runtime.
