Silicon Valley energy-storage provider, Adara Power, recently launched its second-generation storage system, the Adara Pulse. The Adara Pulse is an intelligent, stackable to 20-kWh energy storage solution driven by Adara’s iC3 Smart Controls technology.
The Adara Pulse supports AC coupling for off-grid and grid-tied applications. It tightly integrates all elements of the energy-storage system with a modular hardware and software approach, enabling the components to be stocked globally and eliminating the added cost of shipping bulky material to a central manufacturing site and expensive and unnecessary secondary enclosures.
The Adara iC3 Smart Controls with cellular connectivity feature out-of-the-box communication between lithium-ion batteries, Schneider inverters, and a Cloud-based software platform. The solution minimizes field programming and provides remote programmability.
The Adara Pulse can be ordered now to take advantage of the California Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), a ratepayer-funded rebate program available to customers of the major California investor-owned utilities (PG&E, SCE, LADWP, & SDGE). The Adara Pulse will be scheduled for nationwide delivery and installation during the third quarter of 2017.
“The energy storage market is at an inflection point. Energy density and performance of cells have improved and prices now support broad adoption. The Adara Pulse is perfectly aligned with today’s market realities,” said Neil Maguire, CEO of Adara Power.
It can be installed with a new solar installation or retrofitted with an existing system. Adara’s peak-shifting and self-consumption, non-export algorithms ensure compliance with the Federal Investment Tax Credit and adaptability for a wide range of energy storage use cases.
This advanced technology minimizes a homeowner’s electricity bill in regions subject to Time of Use (TOU) rates and support new net metering programs such as California’s NEM 2.0. And unlike many other energy storage systems currently available, the Adara Pulse has a UPS mode utilizing an 8 millisecond internal automatic transfer switch to keep house loads powered when the grid goes down for maximum back-up power.
