For its part, the Ingeteam inverter makes it possible to connect a PV array and a battery bank to the same unit, thereby reducing the cost of the system as a whole. This is a 3- or 6-kW single-phase transformerless inverter, directed at residential and commercial installations. Thanks to the combination of the Ingeteam inverter and Freedom Won battery, it is possible to store the solar energy generated during the day, to be used for night-time consumption, thereby achieving the highest possible self-consumption rates, and even offering the possibility of reaching complete energy self-sufficiency. Moreover, there is no longer a risk of an electricity supply failure during grid outages.

SMA America announced that its UL-listed Sunny Boy Storage-US inverter, SMA’s solution for residential energy storage and management, is now shipping.

As a comparison, a windstorm on March 8, 2017, resulted in gusts of up to 68 mph. This left thousands of Monroe County residents without power for several days and ripped shingles off the roof at Flat Rock High School, according to Monroe News reports of the time. The high winds in 2017 also flipped trucks on the highways in both Lucas and Monroe counties, and the I-280 bridge in Toledo was closed to traffic for a few hours.

Late last year, both inverters mysteriously stopped metering his sunlight intake. MassRenewables technicians eventually determined that repairs to his home’s Wi-Fi system had burned out the circuit boards in the inverters, which had to be replaced. New Mike says that was done at no charge and that he was also credited with the power he would have produced during that two-month period.

"With a steadily growing share of renewable energies, hydrogen fuel cells could play a role in the future," said a Ford spokesman. "In terms of a widespread market launch, however, the battery is currently in a superior position to the fuel cell – not least because of the cost situation and the available infrastructure. Our work will continue to focus on electrification as we monitor hydrogen’s progress. We have no current plans to offer hydrogen fuel cell vehicles."

Chapter 1, to describe PV Inverter product scope, market overview, market opportunities, market driving force and market risks.

“We’re excited to launch our new Fusion Charger at NAB this year,” says Matt Nigro, director of operations, Indipro Tools. “This latest addition to our product lineup is perfect for charging V-Mount batteries, for a wide array of camera and accessory items. The portable power supply, combined with its extreme weather reliability, make it the perfect solution for field productions and studio applications alike.”

The system combines 300 kW of ground-mounted solar, a 127-kW natural gas generator, a 250-kW, 1,050-MWh lithium ion battery and a 250-kW load bank. In early 2019, the microgrid will be expanded to include additional Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technologies and electric vehicle chargers.

"MXenes are the key to helping silicon reach its potential in batteries," Gogotsi said. "Because MXenes are two-dimensional materials, there is more room for the ions in the anode and they can move more quickly into it — thus improving both capacity and conductivity of the electrode. They also have excellent mechanical strength, so silicon-MXene anodes are also quite durable up to 450 microns thickness."
