More and more consumer-focused power brands are beefing up their product offerings for solar + storage homeowners. Several new systems and services made their debut at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Here’s an overview of notable announcements:Bluetti adds solar installation services
Bluetti has built a brand on portable power, but over the last year it has been rounding out its stationary energy storage systems. We got an in-depth look at the EP900 hybrid inverter + home battery system in this episode of The Pitch: Residential Battery Backup Power
And at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Bluetti showed off Bluetti Solar+, which expands the company beyond just providing rooftop solar and home battery power solutions. Bluetti Solar+ includes a full-service proposal and installation component as well. Solar+ is initially launching in Texas.
With a system proposal software, the company provides customers with a view of their post-installation home, expected financial returns, and backup duration of their solar battery system. Once customers approve the proposal, a dedicated BLUETTI Solar + project manager oversees the design, permitting process, paperwork completion, buildout, troubleshooting, and inspector quality assurance.
We’ll have much more to say about Solar+ following Intersolar this week. Stay tuned.EcoFlow debuts DELTA Pro Ultra
