The Powerwall 2 still needs an inverter. The inverter that comes with the battery cannot be used to convert the DC power from the solar panels to AC. Its primary use is to convert AC power coming from the primary inverter or the grid to DC before storing it in the battery.

Paired with the ASSET360 cloud-based data analytics platform, which is available through Black & Veatch’s software subsidiary Atonix Digital, the microgrid raises STCH’s resilience and reliability by providing critical services during a power outage or other service anomaly. Designed to provide actionable insights about the microgrid’s performance, ASSET360 allows Shell operators to optimize operation based on energy demand, solar production and other conditions.

"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."

Both the H5000 and HB5 feature a stacking ability where the system can be configured to fit the site’s specific demands. If 5.5 kW or less is needed when off the grid, then you can use a single hybrid inverter. Stacking two hybrid inverters will get you 11 kW continuous and 15 kW surge power. If that is not enough, you can stack yet another hybrid inverter for 16.5kW of continuous power. Stacking does not only increase the amount of power, it also increases energy storage capacity. Each hybrid inverter has its own charging capability and can be controlled to work together, so you can incrementally add power and storage in parallel at the same time.

GM now has the Chevrolet Bolt, which can go 238 miles on a single charge, and it has promised many more electric vehicles in the future.

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.

Available with a choice of current ratings (6A, 8A, 10A, 16A or 20A), they offer power electronics system designers a variety of performance advantages, including negligible reverse recovery current, high surge capability and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C, so they are suitable for applications that require enhanced efficiency, reliability and thermal management.

One thing that the Eco Explorer doesn’t replicate is the sink, but we reckon you’ll need water on hand so you could make a simple sink out of a collapsible bowl or bin (Credit: Campervan Co/Campers Scotland)
