- When you're ready to make the switch to clean renewable energy you'll find a range of products being offered to you, especially now with the need to include batteries with your solar system. We our encouraging our customers to consider solar battery systems without backup capabilities because we believe and know that the backup equipment needed is going through a technological change. These changes will benefit you if you wait to add battery backup and just stick with a solar plus storage only configuration with Enphase, SolarEdge and EP Cube.

You can add Tigos to the EP Cube system to handle those various array angles.
Excellent detailed spread sheet.
Love your work.
Massive benefits just getting solar PV on your roof.
V2G will be the big move forward.
Selfparking and plugged in anywhere on the power grid, not just at home.
The grid will be protected by the EV big batteries.
The grid will trade energy, the money will be in grid ownership and not building a huge increase in grid capacity.
66% of electricity costs to the home is the grid costs.
The grid is a stupendously expensive thing and is built to minimum engineering and economic std.
You are right, the future is electric and central generation is a 'dead duck' so to speak, because of it's needs to fatten the grid capacity.
Electricity prices will increase, customers not wanting to pay and moving to self generation and selfparking EVs storage.
Most vehicles are parked 23hrs every day.
V2G will come and will solve an increasing power storage problem.
Today's investment should be more valuable in the future as electricity prices will increase.
Great comparison! Thank you for making this video!
Glad you liked it!
How long do we wait? It feels like any future tech is always 5 years away. I am biting the bullet and installing SolarEdge battery with backup and 8kw of Q CELLS black panels with optimisers as i am sick of waiting. I am in Australia 🇦🇺 so we only have a few options
agreed. system does not need to be sized perfectly or oversized at the beginning since upgrades can be much better and cheaper in 5-10 years. On battery or backup topic, it depends on electricity prices and how much the grid utility pays for your exported power and/or whether virtual power plant program is available
Lets not forget the 30% tax credit in the USA is a one time write off. Not applicable 5 or 10 years later. And with NEM's, additions to the pv system can remove your current NEM agreement.
That is incorrect in regards to Tax Credit it's a one time Credit for the solar & Battery system. If you add additional PV & additional Batteries you get the tax credit on the add on system as well.
Now thid could affect NEM status if adding, PV dependent on each individual system.
@@dustinmerkley7303 You can claim the solar tax credit once. In other words, you can not keep adding onto the system every year and claim a new credit every year.
What's the difference between storage and backup? I thought the EP Cube is a storage and backup system!! if you're storing power in the battery, you can use it during night time when there's no solar but also during power outages. Am I missing something ?
EP Cube has backup EP Cube Lite does not. Backup when the grid is down requires additional hardware to disconnect your home's micro-grid from the grid. That adds cost. To me personally, the peace of mind knowing that I'll have power in an outage is totally worth it.
As I understand it, stored electricity can be used at home if the system is grid-tied IF there's a signal from the grid. No signal, no internal use. A software change is required or the Enphase system which includes that on iQ8s or batteries.
If you want the storage to also support back up, you'll need additional software that provides the signal to continue using electricity without the signal from the grid.
Do you have a DBA name? Not seeing any Pacific sun tech on dgstats
I'm confused. I'm an electronics engineer without much experience in solar and would like a small battery and small panel system that I install myself (maybe
Read the installation manuals & then it will all make sense. ALL PV + Battery system have mutal to monitor different parts of the home & and backup panel.
@@dustinmerkley7303 what is a "mutal"
The SolarEdge is @70% @unlimited cycles
Unlimited cycles is a marketing gimmick because It’s pretty difficult to charge and discharge a battery more than once per day. Tesla powerwall has the same warranty but Tesla added a throughput clause of ~45MWh which you can back into and is around 4,000 cycles
Great video, thank you. Do you think that bi-directional charging with EVs will push $/kWh for storage down in the long run or even make home batteries obsolete?
It’s hard to say because you need to have your vehicle plugged in during the day to charge from excess solar production but the majority of people will be at work.
Buy with cash.
