6B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 2020 Residential Solar + Battery Storage Solutions Protect Against Utility Outages (NAPSI)—Th e market for en- ergy storage is growing—and with good reason. With power disruptions from electrical util- ities driven by wildfi res, storms, hurricanes and the continued decay of the power grid across the country, homeowners have turned to new solutions to keep the lights on. At the center of the upswing in interest, solar power continues to rank highly with energy-con- scious homeowners nationwide. However, as residents in Cali- fornia have discovered through Public Safety Power Shutoff s in 2019, their current photovoltaic (PV) solar systems do not power their homes during utility out- ages, primarily because safety shut-off protocols are designed into the systems to protect utili- ty workers. Th is has boosted the appeal of battery-based energy storage and soft ware systems that can harness the sunlight and store it for later use. Th e Public Safety Power Shut- off s were put in place to mit- igate wildfi re risks that could be caused by sparking power transmission lines when high winds and dry conditions cre- ate dangerous circumstances. Th e state of California recently earmarked $675 million under a new round of its Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), one of the fi rst state-level incentives for battery energy storage in the country. Th e program—which now has a cumulative historic value of over $1 billion—has helped California lead the na- tion in residential energy stor- age. Th e SGIP Equity Resilience incentive program could essen- tially off set the entire cost of a battery storage system by pro- viding up to $1/watt of backup power for qualifi ed homeown- ers. Hurricanes on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts also have in- spired many homeowners to consider battery storage as an addition to their solar power systems or to add natural gas or propane-powered home backup generators in place of or in ad- dition to the solar assets. Th is demand has helped backup gen- erator giant Generac move into the clean energy arena with its PWRcell Storage System, which is considered an ideal solution for resilience to utility grid out- ages and a way to signifi cantly lower energy bills by avoiding Business & Service Directory D-002 ACCOUNTING Patrick Bennett, CPA 2311 Willow St, Florence, OR 97439 Providing clients straightforward, actionable advice and expert help implementing the right solutions … small businesses(including not for profi ts), incorporation and setup, fi nancial reporting, business & personal income taxes, QuickBooks and payroll services, State & Federal/IRS representation and Offers in Compromise, Consulting and problem solving… 209.986.4793 • Pat@PEBennettCo.com D-065 the utility company’s peak rates. Generac is the only company that off ers both battery stor- age systems and whole home backup generators. Its dealers can provide “touchless virtual quotes” for both systems that let homeowners make the best decision for their specifi c needs. Th e PWRcell storage system is an all-in-one platform that off ers 8 kilowatts of continuous power and a 10 kW surge capac- ity to start heavy loads such as 2-ton air conditioners and well pumps, but what sets this apart from other options is its ability to scale up to 17.1 kW of usable capacity. Th e system is equipped with an energy monitoring technology called PWRview, which off ers smart device link- age to track household energy consumption, monitor battery usage and track energy spend- ing and savings. Such residential clean energy solutions bring smart home en- ergy storage and management into the mainstream for home- owners, cutting energy costs and providing protection from electric utility disruptions. As a result, people have more op- tions when deciding where to get their power. CONCRETE / PAVING Ant’s Concrete Excavation, fl at work, sidewalks, patios, demos and much more!
