Hello, everyone! If you’ve been considering solar panels for your home, then this detailed overview of the latest happenings at the Intersolar North America and Energy Storage North America is going to be helpful in getting you up to speed with the latest and greatest.
Intersolar North America and Energy Storage North America is the go-to event for solar enthusiasts, housing over 500 exhibitors and hosting more than 9,000 attendees in sunny San Diego. Now let me shed some sunlight on some of the latest technological solutions and products that have caught my eye on the showcase floor.
One of the standouts includes Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions’ stackable 6.6kWh SimpliPHI battery. This minimal-wiring solution allows up to three batteries to be combined, offering a substantial power yield of up to 19.98 kWh per 3-stack. What’s even more impressive is that intelligent control boxes automatically detect and set up the system, simplifying the overall process. Solar companies should keep a close eye on this technology.
Have you ever wondered if your home is suitable for solar? Here is where EagleView’s SolarReady initiative comes into play. By utilizing geospatial data and proprietary aerial imagery, SolarReady can accurately quantify a home’s solar potential. The tool answers all your burning questions about solar suitability, including the potential efficiency and energy production of a solar array for home application.
Turning our attention to FranklinWH Energy Storage, here’s a solar company that is dedicated to enhancing whole-home energy management solutions. They have announced upgrades to their aGate solution that includes an integrated metering feature for energy management systems, enhanced black start capabilities, and expanded options for generator integration.
Moreover, SPI Energy Co.’s subsidiary, Solar4America Technology, presents us with the opportunity to go really local by offering American-made solar panels. This Sacramento-based company is on track to up its annual capacity, planning a total of 2.4GW for 2024.
Intersolar further spices up the event with events like Block Party Bash and Solar Games, where teams have a chance to snag $10,000 and the enviable title of Solar Games Champion by demonstrating their prowess in building residential solar + storage systems.
As we take a closer look at the offerings from these solar companies, it appears that the key for homeowners considering solar is to consult with professionals who can provide a comprehensive plan for installing a solar array for home. With solar technology continuing to evolve, it’s easier than ever to harness the sun’s energy to power your home and contribute to a greener future. I can’t wait to see what this industry has in store for us next!
