Company Summary
We sell a revolutionary solar-battery system for back-up or primary power using super-light and highly-efficient power electronics. The system works with grid power or no grid at all. Because we never send power back to the grid, no utility approval is needed. The system is high-power and can replace small diesel generators. It is so simple that anyone can put it together. This makes it possible to sell it through channel partners.
