Free Webinar: Energy Storage Systems for Backup Power, November 15, 12-2 pm PT
Event Description
While there are economic incentives for grid-interactive customers who combine PV generation with energy storage, customers when polled, said that their primary motivation for using PV and batteries systems is robust, 24/7 backup power on demand.
Nationally, extended utility disruptions caused by floods, landslides, wind storms, ice storms, geomagnetic solar storms, hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, PSPS, earthquakes, aged infrastructure, replacement equipment shortages and deliberate sabotage, populate the news with alarming frequency and severity. Which battery-based backup systems truly deliver, meet, and exceed customers' expectations during long-term utility power outages?
This class promises to address how variously-scaled PV production and battery energy storage systems coupled with smart, nimble, robust and locally-controlled load management can respond to the ever increasing challenges threatening to shoot out the lights.
In this class, Erik Frye will discuss experiences of owners of micro grids and battery based grid tied PV systems, including systems such as:
Learning Objectives:
- Overview of components and how they work
- Rational for sizing
- Different offerings from various companies—pros and cons (not endorsement)
- Meeting expectations for backup power
- Future Projections
Erik Frye started work in the solar industry on Maui in 1991 with the expensive, yet anemic PV modules and lead acid batteries that were available at the time. A devotee of appropriate technological advancement he now works with Alex Redin Solar in Ukiah specializing in battery-based off grid and battery backed up grid-tied systems offering customers uninterruptible life style support since 2005.
