New Homegrid Most Powerful Home Battery

[@mitchellcrevier2949]

I sell these in Michigan. Have been since spring 2022. These batteries (paired with Sol-Ark), are second to none.

[@RussellHogan]

Any way to go from the battery to an EV with out having to connect it to the home electric panel? I already have a Tesla Solar and powerwall.

[@johnnysager8899]

I had solar power since last June and haven't had a electric bill since!! Still cheaper to pay the low monthly bill for the loan amount on my system then the electric bill I would have!! You're videos are still very informative and I like seeing the latest advances in solar energy 👌

[@carlosmatta5947]

I love to see how batteries are evolving to provide easier scalability, more storage capacity and easier installation which helps bring down costs.

[@elisasoto1531]

Same here. I'm also excited to see lithium-iron batteries for residential applications. Like you said, it should help with costs, and hopefully it will also reduce the environmental impact during manufacturing.

[@jimbronson687]

Well I do not like it. just kidding take a look at flow batteries

[@ARLGD]

Wow, I totally agree with you! It's incredible to see how batteries like the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series are evolving to meet our power needs. The massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology make it perfect for outdoor adventures and home backup power. Plus, the smart app control is a game-changer. Thanks for sharing this awesome product!

[@toolate6971]

This is a home solution I can work with. My solar plans are not up to speed yet, so I will use my generac to charge the batteries. The integrated series may work best for me starting out. Thank you so much for presenting this vendor!!!

[@boblatkey7160]

Generac is warranty void when charging batteries.

[@davidkeljik6393]

Thank You SolarSurge. This is an awesome product! We appreciate your great information on new and better products!!!

[@Stoic_Pioneers]

I love this setup and being able to run them in parallel is a huge deal. I was thinking about a tesla power wall but I have heard about power clipping and all other kinds of issues this is a great option as you get to pick out everything you want in the system and the modularity makes it a dream come true!

[@boblatkey7160]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

[@QE007]

I’m going to get certified to install this next because of its high load surge capabilities and competitive cost

I am getting ready to install solar on my home so I Appreciate theses videos

[@ericgould3292]

Fun stuff. Great independence and control. I like expanding battery storage and peak power output with no permits or construction fees/contracts. Just do it yourself. Stackable inverter - that would be cool!

[@ericgould3292]

@@boblatkey7160 I agree; one should have a permit when installing your solar and storage system. Permits give you the satisfaction that your new solar system is safe and compliant. In addition, if something goes wrong, your insurance company may not cover work or damages caused by work without permits and inspections. Also, mandatory inspections complement the contractor’s experience and act as a system of checks and balances, resulting in a safer project. However, I prefer not to require permits for just the expansion of a storage unit.

[@xzibit8614]

Cheaper than server rack EG4’s that can stacked and do 5.12kWh for $1499 each? $6000 would get you over 20kWh of storage

[@Yaveren]

This

[@nthomasjr1]

If you have a Generac system, can you add this for more storage?

[@boblatkey7160]

No can do.

[@darkhorse6949]

We have plenty in stock if you or anyone else needs them :)

[@omarabdelrahman3739]

Please compare this system to the Enphase and Tesla systems?

[@SolarSurge]

Thank you. I will add this to the list of future videos.

[@MrhEurocars]

you need to review HOMEGRID CUBE

[@Techlore1]

I wish you guys operated in Michigan.

[@Tony-sy7ed]

That looks fantastic

[@Protonumus]

Great work. Looks good.

[@trentrizza4572]

Looking at Homegrid and Franklin. Can you power your batteries with a generator like with franklin?.

[@SolarSurge]

That depends on the inverter. If you pair Homegrid with the Sol-Ark inverter (most common) then you will have a generator hookup ability.

[@judsimonson9087]

What is the price for a pair of batteries?

Love your videos and content thank you for producing. Would you say the franklin system is best for a home system back up or this system?

[@SolarSurge]

It really depends. I think these products are both best of breed. Homebred best for DC coupled. Franklin best for AC coupled.

[@FLY2KO]

impressive storage capacity

[@fabriglas]

Is there a way to charge a battery and use one within the stack via the BMS?

[@3D_Printing]

UK?

[@Anavllama]

It has quite a wide footprint. I plan on putting batteries outside against house wall and slim is better. As I asked already can it be added to an enphase smart switch without issues? How is it that (watching podcast) almost teenager can provide a better battery then lets say enphase ;-)

[@SolarSurge]

I wouldn’t say it’s a better battery all around. The stack’d architecture just makes it easier to get more storage capacity out of a single battery stack.

[@MaxGoddur]

We just had 18 400 watt solar panels installed and the Enphse Envoy in between the solar panels and the service panel. What additional equipment would be needed to add the HomeGrtid Stack series to our current configuration? Our setup is not allowed to be connected when the grid goes down and would like to know how that affects the configuration of the system.

[@SolarSurge]

Hi Bob. In order to make this work for you, you will need to add a hybrid inverter like Sol-Ark, or Schneider Electric Conext XW pro.

[@synchronisticmelanatedmysitic]

your lapel mic is not on

[@craigandlindy]

Help me make sense of this? ecodirect has a 38.4kw stack for purchase at $22k, comes to about $570 per kwh. With 8 of SOK's or EG4's 48v 100amh batteries, you can achieve the same storage at $350 per kwh. SOK batteries are user serviceable, same chemistry and a 15 year warranty. How is this an economical choice for home owners? I am in the market for a battery solution, help me understand why I would pick this over EG4-ll or SOK flagship batteries?

[@SolarSurge]

Hi Craig. Good question. The EG4 batteries are more for a DIY type customer. For a professional installation with a warranty, the Homegrid offers the lowest cost per kWh. Most professional installers will not warrant an install using EG4.

[@VRelaxed]

Hi! Just curious on how many Home Grid Batteries can one Sol Ark 15 All-in-One support? I saw PowerCube on Home Grid's website but there's no breakdown on how many Stack'd Batteries are needed for Sol Ark 15/ 12. Thanks.

[@SolarSurge]

You can do up to 10 stacks, for a total of 384kWh storage.

[@VRelaxed]

@@SolarSurge Thanks you for the info. I appreciate it. 👍

[@johnbeccaccio]

Can you add a battery if it’s been more than a year since you installed the home grid

[@SolarSurge]

Yes I don't see any reason why not.

[@bryanhamlin1208]

You can upgrade the system at anytime. Modules are 4.8kWh and up to 8 can be installed per "stack" for 38.4kWh and up to 15 in parallel for 576kWh total. www.homegridenergy.com/stackd-series

[@Anavllama]

How does this compare to enphase battery systems. I am getting enphase microinverters so it would nice to know what are my options other then enphase for example / compatibility etc. Also, it may just be too cost prohibitive to seek the optimum lithium ion battery solution. There seem to be sulfpher and salt solutions that if realized would be significantly cheaper, but how far off is that reality.....???

[@terrywright4211]

Available in UK MARKET?

[@chrismaxny4066]

Can this be paired with an Enphase IQ7A microinverter grid tied system?

[@SolarSurge]

Yes, but you need to use an AC-coupling inverter like Sol-Ark or Conext XW Pro

[@Erin-Thor]

Can I put these in my RV?

[@boblatkey7160]

Yes, just take out your bed and you'll have room for the batteries. 😂

[@Yaveren]

Cost?

[@0_grid]

Great

[@TecnamTwin]

Should have at least done a price comparison with some competition.

[@baldguyrules5149]

How much for a stack of ten?

[@SolarSurge]

Max is 8 battery modules per stack.

[@thibaultmol]

So it's the same concept of a BYD box premium

[@SolarSurge]

Pretty much the same concept, except the home grade is a 48 V solution. So it works with all the other 48 V Off Grid and hybrid inverter systems.

[@bombardierboerboels]

Wish you guys could do me a system but I am in the Uk 🇬🇧

[@dburgette7577]

Your mic isn’t working. Sounds like a home video.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Very nice looking alternative to server rack battery systems. However, the EG4-LL batteries are 5.12kWh per module and you can "stack" up to 16 while maintaining full BMS communication with your system. Didn't see anything about that on their website.

[@SolarSurge]

The EG4 is a great solution for DIY installers. However, for a pro install with a warranty, it's hard to beat Homegrid.

[@michiganengineer8621]

@@SolarSurge Very true. Do you have BMS communication with your Inverter/charger for multiple stacks? I'm planning on between 80 and 100kWh of storage (3 days of little to no sun at current use)

Single, double, multiple, who cares. Talk about something relevant, like cost per KWH. They look like prettied-up server backup batteries. Are we looking at server backup batteries with a plastic cover & proprietary connections to inflate their price?
