I checked ebay, and found a 6kw unit for sale at $1499.00 about twice what a 6kW SMA grid compliant unit is going for. I’d say that is a very reasonable price for a unit this flexible, I’d expect prices relative to non battery capable units to come down, as production rates go up. Here’s the link

High Wind Watches have been issued for southeast Michigan and northern Ohio, with the alert in effect for Monroe County from Sunday morning through late Sunday night.

Where many inverters in this space lag is in AC to battery efficiency. Outback, for example, is rated about 82 percent efficiency. Sol-Ark hits 96 percent efficiency because of a different methodology for pumping power in and out of batteries — a powerful 185 amp DC-to-DC charger.

DTE Energy and Consumers Energy, the state’s largest utilities, already are making preparations to deal with outages.

New Mike still goes big. But after consulting with industry experts, including Associate Vice President for University Sustainability Dennis Carlberg, last year he bought a 56-panel solar array from MassRenewables, Inc., in Bellingham at a cost of nearly $54,000.

This UL certification is part of Tigo’s multivendor initiative providing customers with the advantages of reliable, safe, and cost-effective solutions. The use of Tigo smart modules and high-efficiency inverters allows design flexibility for installers to comply with National Electric Code (NEC) 2017 690.12 RSS regulations. Tigo has also been internationally recognized as the only module-level power electronic vendor with UL-certified RSS with multiple PV module manufacturers.

DC systems begin to lose their cost advantage, however, as system sizes become larger. As the size of solar and storage increases, economies of scale realized via power conversion and other hardware components don’t translate to overall system capex, as PV modules and batteries start to make up more of the cost stack.

Once you’ve got the battery pack in hand, you’ll need to charge it up. If you’re playing on PC, just keep holding down ‘F’ and Artyom will charge the battery pack. Watch the dial go up, and once it’s full, you’re good to go.

They’re doing more for a number of reasons. Perhaps the biggest is as states and utilities shift away from net metering, solar customers are getting less credit for selling power back to the grid. Combining a hybrid inverter with even a small amount of battery backup can allow homeowners to self-supply power, avoid demand charges and peak time-of-use rates and still get high value for solar systems despite shifting state policies.

The biggest reason why any engineer should choose a Hioke product is because of our Quality, Service, and Support.

Power analyzers are able to measure a variety of parameters associated with power consumption and generation at frequencies that range from 50 / 60 Hz right up to many kilohertz.
