NEM 3.0 has changed how California homeowners are compensated for excess solar energy sent back to the grid. An Enphase battery helps maximize savings by storing excess solar power for use during peak utility rate periods, reducing reliance on expensive grid electricity and improving the overall return on your solar investment.

Can you share a case study with us @nipponenergy of an install you have done, and how it is performing financially over time?

Do you offer any other battery options? My experience with Enphase is that they are very expensive, and can seriously eat into the system ROI.
