CEC Energy Storage System List

LE-DC-UNIT: 5 kWh nameplate energy; 2.5 kW continuous; lithium ion.

CEC Energy Storage System List

NLR PVWatts v8 · Cali-Graf calculation

Solar array size that refills the battery from empty in one average day, before the home uses any of it (NLR PVWatts v8, 20° south roof).

CEC Energy Storage System List

UL 9540 certifies the whole storage system; UL 9540A is the fire-propagation test that fire codes ask for indoors and near walls.
