JuiceBox Energy completed the first Hawaii installation of its 8.6 kWh Energy Storage System with Rising Sun Solar on the island of Maui. JuiceBox Energy partnered with Rising Sun Solar, one of Hawaii’s top home solar installers, to install the energy storage system at the home of Brad Albert, Rising Sun Solar’s co-owner.

 

The JuiceBox Energy Storage System is an automotive-grade 8.6kWh lithium-ion battery pack with proprietary charge control and energy management system coupled to the Schneider Conext XW+ inverter, which is now listed and approved for use in Hawaii. The battery management and system controller is designed for safe, reliable, long lasting control of the lithium-ion cells. It delivers over 4000 cycles and comes with a 10-year warranty. It also has redundant protection mechanisms to prevent over voltage, over current, under voltage and over temperature conditions. The system is designed to support grid-tied, grid isolated in the event of grid failure, and off-grid configurations. Each configuration delivers years of dedicated peak shifting, back-up power, energy efficiency and enables participation in emerging transactive energy exchanges.
