The Assured Solar team installed this seaside garage system as an addition for a customer with an existing array on their home. The new system is composed of 10 REC 290-watt panels with an Enphase M250 micro-inverter attached to each panel.

As energy storage solutions increase in popularity thanks to the marketing prowess of large manufacturers, many of our solar customers express interest in battery system additions to their solar arrays. Battery storage systems have myriad uses and benefits both for onsite users and the electric grid as a whole.

Our systems look fantastic on the outside; but what you don’t see matters. We don’t cut corners. Here’s what we do, that you may not initially notice.

I have to say that Rob and Peter and the other staff at Assured were extremely professional and hard working. To get our project completed before the weather turned into winter and the ground started to freeze, they worked in all weather, and on some days not even a duck would like. 

Our home is a standard Cape Cod and uses about the average amount of electricity for a Maine home (which is about 500-800 kwh per month). We actually use a lot less than that but we own a 100% electric car and that can change our monthly electric bill by up to 30% depending on how much we drive.

These three alternative power alternatives to solar can work better than solar systems depending on the situation, requirements, and environment. They also work fantastic in parallel with solar panels to ensure your battery system has an abundance of power in reserve.
