Residential energy storage grows 9x in Q1 2018
The 36 megawatt-hours of residential energy storage installed in the United States during Q1 is the latest in a year of accelerating growth rates, driven by policies in California and Hawaii.
Finance Now Available for Solar and Battery Systems
For many who want to move more quickly to renewable energy, the significant upfront cost of a solar or battery solution makes it challenging to make a start.
1 Million Volts DC
Those of you of a certain age will remember the pre-historic epic “1 Million Years BC” starring Raquel Welch and containing some of the worst special effects of all time. I couldn’t resist echoing that title. More correctly I should call it 1.1 Million Volts DC, because this is the power transmission voltage for the
Companies are using California homes as batteries to power the grid
Every new home in California is going solar by 2020. If solar-energy companies have their way, those homes also will come with batteries.Companies like Tesla and SunRun are starting to bid on utility contracts that would allow them to string together dozens or hundreds of systems that act as an enormous reserve to balance the
Energy Storage Could Be Residential Solar’s Next Growth Product
Energy storage could make rooftop solar more viable across the country and be an added revenue source for solar installers.
