Ideal Power Inc., a power conversion technologies developer, entered into a distribution agreement with WESCO International, Inc., which provides electrical, industrial and communications maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) and OWM products, construction materials, and advanced supply chain management and logistics services.
WESCO added Ideal Power’s Grid Resilient 30-kW and 125-kW power conversion systems to its distribution portfolio in markets including California, New York and Hawaii, where the energy storage opportunity complements its core PV solar business.
These grid-resilient power conversion systems enable the integration of solar PV systems and conventional generation with battery storage to deliver stable, flexible and reliable energy whether on or off the grid. WESCO currently has inventory in stock at its warehouses in California.
