Clean, independent energy without the utility grid present. It seems like a distant reality for many of us, but it is closer than you think. Check out this 23kW Q Cells Solar Ground mount, with dual Sol-Ark 15kW inverters for 30kVAC continuous output with 64kWh battery storage system in the outdoor rated Fortress FlexTower battery
If you checked in on us in 2022, you know that our company along with thousands of fellow solar enthusiasts rallied in opposition to NEM 3.0 to keep the incentives in California as strong as possible. Our efforts were not in vain. The new plan for net metering in California (also known as NEM 3.0)
AC or DC coupling refers to the way in which solar panels are coupled with and interact with a battery system. A hotly debated topic among solar installers today is whether AC or DC coupling is the best approach for solar+storage installations and retrofits. The truth is there really is no right or wrong answer.
EcoDirect recently had the pleasure of working on a project with Brandon of Ventura Electric, to help create a 3-Phase commercial back-up system for Jones Trading in Thousand Oaks, California.

How does NEM (Net Energy Metering) Work? Your PV System size is designed, based on your current consumption and may include future loads like EV for expandability. Your solar system produces power and feeds (power) all the loads that are on in your house first. If all the electrical needs in the house are met and
This 23kW inverter system was designed with a quad stack of XW+ 6848 inverters, 190kWh battery bank of Discover Lithium Iron AES Batteries and 72 Canadian Solar 72 cell solar panels, “this was a ridiculously sized system, but exactly what I wanted.”
The Generac battery back-up system integrates solar power generation for utility off-set with a battery back-up system that will power a few loads during an outage or help off-set your peak time of use rates.
Our customer Ben shares pictures of his sleek 14.4kW SnapNrack ground mount PV array, comprised of Q Cells 300 watt black frame solar panels.
Lithium-Ion vs. Lead-Acid Batteries Lithium-ion batteries are trending in the energy storage market. These reliable batteries are popular for several reasons including further depth of discharge, higher cycle life and longer overall lifetime expectancy.
