Solar dealers now have the opportunity to offer the industry's first "plug-and-play" balance of system (BOS) with instant backup power. GridPoint appliances provide an intelligent hub connecting renewable energy sources (photovoltaics, small wind and fuel cell) and the electric grid, while providing instant protection from power outages and reducing energy costs.
Offer Unique Value
Solar dealers can now offer unique value to customers with GridPoint CentralSM, an online customer portal that provides information on their energy consumption and production, hours of backup power available and environmental data such as the amount of carbon dioxide emissions customers have avoided by using renewable energy.
Reduce Installation Time
Solar dealers can reduce the installation time of traditional balance of systems to under two hours with GridPoint appliances. Unlike wall-mounted balance of systems, GridPoint's "plug-and-play" appliances seamlessly combine power electronics (inverter, charge controllers, disconnect, etc.), high-capacity batteries, and safety and monitoring equipment controlled by an advanced computer.
Eliminate Call-Backs
GridPoint appliances provide network monitoring capabilities to ensure early detection of maintenance needs and automatically notify GridPoint's customer service department. GridPoint handles all service calls and maintenance. Solar dealers are free to focus on new installations.
