Living off the grid is becoming increasingly popular among DIYers looking for energy independence, sustainability, and greater self-reliance. But one of the main hurdles in
With rising energy costs and a growing push toward sustainability, homeowners and businesses are turning to solar power to reduce electricity bills and carbon footprint.
In today’s world, energy independence is more important than ever. With rising electricity costs, grid instability, and increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions, homeowners and
Residential energy storage continues to evolve. What’s old is new again, as battery backup becomes essential for complete solar arrays.
At RE+ 2022 (formerly SPI) Conference in Anaheim, CA, Fortress Power’s Director of Product, John Cromer, introduced the industry to a number of Fortress Power products that will be available starting in 2023. The crown jewel is the High Voltage ESS, a smart, whole-home backup solution for energy storage, monitoring, and controls. The High Voltage ESS consists of numerous elements, which Cromer describes in detail.
Why choose lithium batteries? Cost, safety, and versatility are just a few of the reasons the LiFEPO4 chemistry is ideal for residential storage.
Over three decades since their initial development, the capabilities of lithium batteries continue to expand. Today’s batteries offer increased run times, faster charging, and higher consistency of power. But there remains a difference between what the battery is capable of doing, and its ideal conditions for peak performance.
Smaller batteries in the 2.5-10kWh range don’t have the capacity to power a large number of loads in a residential home for a long period
Solar batteries can make the difference between having and not having power during the harsh weather. In recent years, climate change has led to an
