"For homeowners, Equinox Storage provides energy certainty and the power to make electricity allocation decisions, easing concerns with scheduled power outages, prolonged wildfire seasons, and unpredictable energy rates that are becoming more common." High-Efficiency Solar, Now Featuring High-Impact Storage "With up to 12 kilowatt hours of storage capacity, Equinox Storage gives homeowners the ability to keep lights on, essential appliances operating, internet connected, and more, which can be critical during an outage," Taffe continued. "Equinox Storage also automatically manages energy supply based on solar production, home electricity consumption, and utility rates to make the most efficient use of stored power every day." With a low-profile design, Equinox Storage occupies less space than competing solutions, while leaving room for future storage capacity expansion SunPower has matched hardware aesthetics with next-generation software capabilities to give homeowners direct control of how and when they use stored solar energy. And as always, SunPower offers a single point of contact with the company's industry-leading Complete Confidence Warranty for both solar and storage customers. Industrial-Strength Storage Experience "Helix Storage has helped our commercial customers reduce demand charges and save on electricity costs, while supporting the grid by reducing strain on distribution and transmission networks for operational efficiencies," said Taffe. "We've used the same industrial-strength software and data platform to create our residential storage solution for homeowners."
