Brand New Huge Off-Grid Solar Project in Alabama is in the books!

267KW ground mount solar with (15) Sol-Ark 15K Hybrid Inverters and 768Kwh of Pytes V5 Lithium battery storage! The dual "PowerHouse's" that contain the huge system were built from 40' shipping containers and have their own cooling systems!! The power generated from the system leaves and feeds a very large 10,000 sq.ft home. With this system, the home no longer requires a utility service connection and utilizes propane backup generator as a fail-safe in inclement weather.

We chose Sol-Ark inverters as they are an American/Veteran-owned Texas based company with 10 year warranty. The Solar modules are Canadian Solar built in North America and supply a 25year production and materials warranty. Pytes batteries are fairly new to the scene with 10 year warranty, but have closed-loop communication with the Inverters for monitoring every parameter of the storage system with regard to charge rate, temperature coefficient, S.O.C. (state of charge) and many more aspects!

We install Solar Off-Grid as a specialty, but also work with Grid-Tied Solar w/ Battery Storage, Span Smart Panel technology, Briggs & Stratton generators, and more!

Shoot us a message today! We are located in Central Alabama and have a wonderful track record of customer support post installation! 🌄
