The Future of Residential Energy Storage with Vince Ambrose | EP245
Manage episode 452373494 series 3184523
Batteries are the new black for solar (solar is already black so maybe batteries are the double black?). If you’re a solar contractor you MUST go long into battery storage. As the value of net metering goes away (NEM 3.0 beware), the importance of BESS goes up. In California, ESS attachment rates have gone above 80 percent. In this episode of the Clean Power Hour, host Tim Montague sits down with Vince Ambrose, the Chief Commercial Officer of Franklin Whole Home (WH), one of the hottest battery companies to burst onto the scene in the last five years. We explore the rapidly evolving world of residential energy storage. Vince shares his extensive experience in the solar and renewable energy industries, providing valuable insights into the current state and future of residential ESS.
We explore the parallels between the resi storage market and the cell phone industry, highlighting the potential for widespread adoption and the disruption of traditional utility models. Vince emphasizes the importance of innovation, efficiency, and cost reduction in driving the energy transition, while also addressing the challenges posed by utility regulations and the need for consumer education.
This episode will help you understand Franklin WH's unique offering, which combines a battery system with a "microgrid in a box" gateway. This intelligent device allows homeowners to manage their energy inputs and outputs, prioritize critical loads, and even operate off-grid during power outages. The episode also explores the value stack of residential storage, including its potential for energy arbitrage, grid services, and cost savings.
Throughout the conversation, we discuss the barriers to residential storage adoption, such as high upfront costs and complex permitting processes. We also highlight the importance of financing options and third-party ownership models in making this technology more accessible to a broader range of homeowners.
Whether you're a homeowner interested in energy independence, a solar installer seeking to expand your offerings, or an industry professional curious about the future of the grid, this episode of the Clean Power Hour is a must-listen.
