Webinar: What you need to know when selecting an ESS

Join us for a free, live webinar on ESS on April 18th at 2pm EST.

Energy storage systems (ESS) will quickly become the future of solar with the new restrictions on grid feed-in. Many regions are restricting on how much and when you can feed back to the grid, while others will not allow you to send power to the grid at all. Then there are other cases where grid feed-in is not a problem, but the grid is heavily affected natural disasters and a backup system is needed to keep the household functioning until the utility can get the grid back online. All of these situations require that an effective, efficient and low cost storage system be paired with solar energy to accommodate the needs of the consumer.

This webinar will give an overview of the different considerations you will need to look at when choosing and installing an ESS.

The topics covered will be:

• Understanding the customer needs and how they want to use the ESS.
• Battery options: Lead-acid versus Lithium-ion.
• How the site’s environment impacts installation options.
