SunPower announced the launch of 19.5 kWh and 39 kWh SunVault, its energy storage product for residential solar market.
SunPower, a leading residential solar technology and energy services provider, said these new battery configurations offer increased energy density and maximize space within the battery as compared to previous versions of SunVault.
For customers, this means they can purchase more energy storage for less money and fit it in less wall space, with the option to build a larger system as the home’s energy needs evolve. SunPower has also made design upgrades that can make SunVault faster and easier to install.
“With these storage sizes and higher power output through multiple inverters, SunVault’s modular configuration allows customers to get the storage size they need today with the reassurance that they can grow their system as their home energy requirements change,” said Nate Coleman, Chief Products Officer at SunPower.
Homeowners can manage their SunVault energy storage with the mySunPower app to see how much energy is available during peak-demand to reserve for an outage or lower energy costs by using stored energy.
All SunVault energy storage systems are backed by a 10-year warranty, regardless of how much the battery is charged and drained over time.
SunPower is supplying SunVault in five configurations: 13 kWh, 19.5 kWh, 26 kWh, 39 kWh and 52 kWh. Some of these options include multiple inverters. SunVault configurations with multiple inverters and storage capacity of 26 kWh and more have the potential to power the whole home.
SunPower says the Inflation Reduction Act will allow customers to benefit from 30 percent tax credit for battery technology when purchasing battery storage, even if they already have solar.
