SAN DIEGO, June 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sempra Energy, parent of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), has officially approved NeoVolta’s NV14 home energy storage system for grid operations. In an 18 June 2019 letter to NeoVolta, Sempra stated that the NV14 “meets all of our interconnection requirements.”
“San Diego is one of the largest markets for residential solar in the United States,” said Brent Willson, CEO of NeoVolta. “The climate here is ideal for solar production, and we believe solar provides a quick return on investment. With the utility companies now facing high operating costs spread over shrinking customer bases, electricity rates in San Diego are now among the highest in the country, increasing much faster than inflation.
“Utility plans such as Time of Use (TOU) pricing might cause some solar customers to once again become rate payers. By installing NeoVolta’s NV14, solar customers will be on battery power instead of grid power during TOU periods, without having to modify their lifestyle. They will also have the added benefit of blackout protection. Being approved for interconnection with SDG&E’s grid is the first step in a statewide rollout of our energy storage system.”
About NeoVolta - NeoVolta designs, develops and manufactures utility-bill reducing residential energy storage systems capable of powering your home even when the grid goes down. With a focus on safer Lithium-Iron Phosphate chemistry, the NV14 is equipped with a solar rechargeable 14.4 kWh battery, a 7,680-Watt inverter and a web-based energy management system with 24/7 monitoring. Customer solar panels will continue to power the home’s critical loads and charge the battery when the sun is shining. And when the sun goes down, the battery system will power the home with or without an operating grid. This affords customers the ability to send excess solar production to the grid and the option of using their excess solar production at a later time or date when their energy needs are highest. Customers benefit from blackout protection, avoiding expensive peak demand electricity rates, being one step closer to grid independence, and from a very safe battery chemistry.
