“As an Australian born and bred company, we understand the struggles that Australian consumers have when it comes to their energy bills. Since 2015, we’ve been building a product that puts the Australian homeowner at the heart of the technology. We’re confident that the South Australia battery scheme will open us up to a new market and increase our footprint around Australia,” says Matweew.

"A few hundred thousand cars in California is not that far off. And that is just Toyota," Stephens said. "This is not about subsidizing the entire growth of the infrastructure but just helping us get over the hump, and that is on the horizon. If we get to a few hundred thousand cars, we can really start to sunset government subsidies and be self-sustaining."

Cut through the complex theory to gain an understanding of the key differences between products and how to size and configure according to customer’s needs.

It’s not until we make our way through the stadium, that the battery’s role becomes clearer, as we pass suited officials working overtime in well-lit meeting rooms, flanked by newspaper clippings of Arsenal’s proudest moments. We make our way through the press area, through the passage and out into an eerily quiet pitch, where grow lights silently hurry the grass. Even outside of match days, there’s a flurry of activity demanding power around the premises.

Apex Microtechnology’s SA110 (Fig. 4) is a fully integrated half-bridge SiC power module. It provides up to 20-A continuous output and can operate at over 250-kHz speeds. Its protection features include undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and active Miller clamping.

I also spend no money and no time on service. The only real service I’ve had was an in-warranty replacement of the regular 12v battery that supports the car’s computers and infotainment system. No oil changes, no cooling flushes, no brake jobs (magnetic mostly), no transmission servicing and no time wasted on that stuff. Tesla’s recommend maintenance includes (seriously) changing the batteries in the key fob, checking the wiper blades and topping the off washer fluid. They suggest replacing the brake fluid every 25,000 miles, but they don’t require that. Estimated savings from 20 oil changes at $50 each and $50 for my wasted time is $2,000 plus a couple of cooling flushes and brake jobs = $2,500.  Model S cost down to $77.5k.

The sexiest solar + storage inverter advances in this area are DC transformerless options — a sole inverter capable of handling the PV, grid and battery connections. Because these inverters will be grid-connected, they prioritize continuous power efficiency instead of peak power. This is fine unless a customer is looking for an on-grid system that also can handle battery backup capabilities because that requires high peak power. There’s also the efficiency loss when converting from PV to battery and back to AC. An inverter starting at 97 percent efficiency could be at 92.2 percent or lower depending on the brand by the time the energy finally makes it to its destination.

New Mike is a conservative-leaning talk radio fan who still loves muscle cars, but who also has adopted a greater consciousness about living sustainably. Does that mean he’s an environmentalist?

On a recent weekday, a handful of friends were sitting at the rectangular bar, chatting and listening to the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers version of “Islands in the Stream” on the jukebox.

We have collaborated with various distribution partners across the world. Our distribution partners are well informed and well trained about the product. They are also responsible to provide local support and service to the end customers. In India, for example Technocomm Group is our distribution partner for a long time and this has been a barrier-free collaboration. Our idea is to simplify the product and educate the customer so well that they do not need our support at each and every step during their ongoing measurements. In case the support is required, our distribution partners are always there. In case the problem remains unresolved, then we try to solve the problem remotely to mitigate the time and cost of equipment transaction to our service center. If it still remains unresolved, then we resolve the problem in such a way that the customer’s ongoing project remains undisturbed.
