Intersolar North America has a new home and time — set for San Diego from Feb. 4-6. Yes, it is right around the corner! For those attending, be sure to kick off your Solar+ Decade the right way and check out what’s new at the booths below. Then maybe come find us at Modern Times.
IronRidge Booth 611
BX Ballasted system from IronRidge is designed to meet the needs of commercial solar — navigating complex roof layouts, while also handling the most extreme environmental conditions. At the core of the BX system is the Chassis, a ballasted mount made of BASF Ultramid, exceptional for its high mechanical strength, rigidity and thermal stability. IronRidge BX delivers superior power density and design flexibility to flat roof solar arrays. BX Systems can be fully ballasted, fully anchored or a hybrid optimized for the site.
Fortress Power | Booth 727
Fortress Power, a Pennsylvania-based solar storage manufacturer, focuses on helping solar installers use the safest and most reliable energy storage for their projects. They will display the eVault 18.5 kWh and the new LFP-5.4 KWH at Intersolar in San Diego this year. The eVault 18.5, one of the single most streamlined and powerful solar storage batteries, has a user-friendly front display for active monitoring of remaining batter capacity and power output. More compact and affordable, the eVault powers up to 12 stacks in parallel (222 kWh). The new LFP-5.4 storage battery solution comes with a built-in SIM card and WiFi for remote monitoring and troubleshooting ability. Both products deploy the smart relay battery management systems, and can be AC or DC coupled, making for easy integration into existing and new PV installations.
Enersys and OutBack Power | Booth 822
EnerSys and OutBack Power leverage more than two-decades of experience designing and manufacturing energy storage equipment for both off-grid and grid-tied applications. The 24 percent discount for California residents on three energy storage packages is in effect until March 31, 2020. Featuring OutBack inverters and lithium ferrous phosphate batteries, these systems meet California regulations. The OutBack SkyBox Inverter has been updated with AC coupling. This new firmware update gives customers peace of mind knowing their solar systems will automatically disconnect from the grid and feed power to the home when the power is out.
On top of charging batteries faster, the new FM100-AFCI is the only PV charge controller with UL 1699B listed arc-fault protection, eliminating the need for external or combiner-based AFCI.
Generac | Booth 1215
Generac Power Systems’ highly anticipated battery storage system and home energy management solution is now available to order. PWRcell features a modular battery pack system, equipped with 8.6 kWh batteries. The system is fully customizable, and can expand up to 34.2 kWh, making it one of the most scalable, robust energy storage systems available on the market today. Installers can become certified on Generac Clean Energy products by completing a one-day, in-depth training course in which they learn technical, sales and marketing information.
RBI Solar and SolarBOS | Booth 1323
RBI Solar’s Sunflower breaks away from the limitations associated with commercial single-axis trackers and aims to redefine how trackers are utilized in the marketplace. With adjustable, independent row lengths up to 120 modules, layouts can cover more real estate and no longer be confined to box-shaped designs. The terrain following capabilities accommodate North/South slopes up to 10%, lowering land acquisition costs and/or helping to reduce the amount of civil work required before installation. Check out the Sunflower in action this InterSolar at Booth 1323.
SolarBOS is a leading developer and manufacturer of Balance of System products. In addition to a wide array of standard products, SolarBOS excels in offering custom solutions for all solar integrators, regardless of the size of the project. Since the company’s acquisition by RBI Solar, customers can now take advantage of turn-key solutions that include electrical BOS, solar racking system, and wire in one bundle. At the 2020 Intersolar expo, visitors will have the chance to see SolarBOS’ AC and DC Combiners, Rapid Shutdown Solutions and Wire Harnesses.
