Really good presentation. I live in California. It seems like the electric companies in California and Hawaii are in a competition for the most expensive energy prices in the country. Getting solar in California no longer makes sense without batteries with the new NEM rules. I have 33KW of the older Enphase batteries. They are rock solid.
Agreed Dave, our cost per kWh on Oahu is currently $0.40 per kWh outer islands have even higher rates. Our utility HECO was the first utility to take away NEM in 2016 so our market has adapted substantially to gear more towards solar+storage being required. We love the ENphase batteries though, they definitely help make things smoother with the current utility interconnection agreements.
Good question. Unlike NMC chemistries that are toxic and not landfill safe. The LFP chemistry that makes up the Enphase 5P is landfill safe. To us, that is a huge factor. End-of-life needs to be considered when we are installing these systems. I believe Enphase is developing a recycling program to reuse some of the precious metals and electrolytes used to create these batteries. Ideally all batteries will be recycled in some capacity to limit the impact we have on our planet when acquiring rare earth materials.
Wow this girl is good , and the have their green seal ring gaskets in between batteries I’m convinced!
Yup, she's a hammer! That's how we do it out here on the islands, schedule 40 and seal rings everywhere LOL! No messing around.
Wow great presentation.
Mahalo!
It's amazing, this battery

🌞This is great.
Perfect 😊
Thank you Turre! This battery is amazing!
Stupid question, lets say 20 years and then I need to replacement them, does enphase take them back for disposal? And how are they disposed?

@@proud-dad2015 great point regarding the cell/board replacement from Enphase, they are thinking ahead for sure.
I wonder if Enphase bundle 3 of the 5Ps into a 15T. That would be the perfect size given its continuous and surge power capabilities.
That would be a powerful and very sleek setup. We hope Enphase makes this available down the line.
"7.6 kilowatts every 3 seconds". Hmmm..
Remember, there is a difference between kW and kWh.
@@proud-dad2015 kW is Power (P) in and kWh is Power x Time! A good analogy is kW is like the speed of a car and kWh is the distance driven.
