Power and Energy Backup System

Integrating Solar Inverters with Fuji UPS for Critical Facilities

A complete guide to integrating solar inverters with Fuji Electric UPS to ensure uninterrupted power for essential facilities in the Philippines.
INTRODUCTION

Philippine medical facilities continue to face frequent brownouts, unstable grid power, and typhoon-related outages. While solar power systems offer renewable energy, they cannot always provide clean or uninterrupted electricity — especially during voltage drops, rapid grid-to-solar transitions, or sudden blackouts triggered by typhoons like Tino and Uwan.

Integrating a Fuji Electric Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) between the solar inverter and medical facility loads ensures clean, stable, and continuous power. This setup protects sensitive equipment, supports efficient energy use, and combines the sustainability of solar power with the reliability of industrial-grade backup technology.

Why Integrating Solar Inverters With Fuji Electric UPS Systems Matters

Solar systems deliver renewable energy, but they are not designed to provide seamless transitions during grid drops or sudden fluctuations. Sensitive electronics — computers, routers, CCTV cameras, and medical devices — can still suffer damage or unplanned shutdowns.

Fuji UPS solves this problem by providing:
Instant power during solar fluctuations
Cleaner, more stable voltage for appliances
Surge and harmonic protection
Seamless backup during outages
Better energy management and longer appliance life

This makes the solar + UPS setup perfect for medical facilities needing continuous, stable power.

Recommended Fuji UPS Models for Medical Facility Use

For medical facilities seeking reliable backup power, Fuji Electric offers several Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS Systems) options designed to protect sensitive and critical equipment. Below are two popular models — For a full product lineup, please visit our Full UPS Products Page.

Tip: Oversize the UPS by 30 – 50% above your total load to manage surges and maintain uninterrupted backup.

How Fuji Electric UPS + Solar Inverter Integration Works

Below is the standard power flow for solar systems integrating a UPS

  1. Solar Panels
    Generate DC electricity from sunlight.

  2. Solar Charge Controller / Inverter
    Converts DC to AC for medical facility consumption.

  3. Fuji UPS (Finch PW or GX Series)
    Receives AC from the inverter or grid, then filters, regulates, and ensures uninterrupted output.

  4. Facility Loads
    Devices like computers, routers, CCTV systems, medical equipment, and lighting receive clean and stable power.

Key Advantages of a Solar + Fuji Electric UPS Configuration

Matching Voltages & Phases

Ensure the inverter’s AC output matches UPS input requirements (typically 220V, single-phase).

Battery Bank Compatibility

UPS battery configurations should align with 24V, 48V, or higher setups depending on the model.

Correct UPS Sizing

Always size the UPS at 30 – 50% above the total expected load.

Professional Installation Is a Must

A certified solar installer or electrician should perform:

  • Correct wiring
  • Grounding
  • Load balancing
  • Safety compliance checks
Maintenance & Battery Health

Regular upkeep ensures optimal performance:

  • Battery inspection
  • Charge cycle monitoring
  • Timely replacement
  • Firmware updates

Practical Use Cases

Ideal for:
  • Hospitals and Medical Centers
  • Diagnostic and Imaging Facilities (MRI, CT, X-ray)
  • Clinical Laboratories and Blood Banks
  • Emergency Rooms and Intensive Care Units
  • Surgical and Operating Theaters
  • Specialty Care Facilities (Dialysis Centers, Oncology Clinics)
  • Medical Equipment Rooms and Critical Life-Support Systems
Example:

A 2 kVA Finch PW UPS can power a typical home office setup—including a laptop, router, CCTV, and lights — for 2 – 3 hours, depending on the battery configuration.

Why You Should Consider Industrial-Grade UPS Systems

Fuji Electric UPS models are built for harsh environments, making them more durable and reliable than consumer-grade brands. Read about Fuji Electric Power Supply Solutions in Philippine Conditions for a deeper look at UPS performance in tropical and unstable grid conditions.

Benefits of industrial-grade UPS for homes:
  • Stronger components
  • Longer lifespan
  • Better performance in tropical humidity
  • Cleaner, more stable power output
  • Designed for continuous, heavy-duty operation

This makes them well-suited for Philippine homes with frequent brownouts.

Power Reliability During Typhoon Season

During storms such as Tino and Uwan, grid power becomes highly unstable.

With a Fuji UPS, medical facilities benefit from:

  • Protection from sudden voltage drops
  • Continuous operation of CCTV, routers, and essential devices
  • Reliable power for work-from-home setups
  • Strong resistance to voltage fluctuations common during typhoons

Reference Case:

Fuji Electric UPS systems are used in large industrial applications — such as the Suzuran Manufacturing Plant — demonstrating the level of reliability that can also support critical loads.

Integrating a Fuji UPS Finch PW Series with your solar inverter gives your home a dependable, clean, and uninterrupted power source. This system delivers industrial-grade reliability while maximizing the sustainability of your solar setup.
