Andalay Solar says it is collaborating with Highpower International Inc. to launch a pilot project that will provide energy storage systems for Andalay Solar customers.
The energy system is designed to help customers avoid and reduce utility grid fees by going off-grid or employing a hybrid system, according to Andalay Solar.
Highpower's energy storage system has six 2.4 kWh lithium-ion battery modules and an output inverter that allows for a powerful energy load capacity and expandability.
For the hybrid system, when combined with Andalay's integrated solar system, energy will be generated both by the solar system and the utility grid network. With both energy inputs, Andalay Solar says, the energy output to homes is expected to provide enough power to sustain household and electronic appliances and all power outlets.
