Premier Critical load protection

• Founded by Brent Willson in Poway, California, in 2018, NeoVolta designs, develops, and manufactures residential energy storage batteries that cut utility costs and keep your lights, medical devices, and remote workstations on when blackouts strike.
• NeoVolta’s NV14 battery is designed for safety and equipped with a rechargeable Lithium Iron Phosphate battery – not “ion” – that virtually eliminates fire risk. The system can also switch between AC, DC, and AC/DC power depending on your needs. 
• By storing energy instead of sending it back to the grid, homeowners can escape the inconveniences of rolling blackouts and brownouts, avoid peak demand electricity rates, and ultimately lower their reliance on the grid for power.

• Powerwall stores your solar energy for backup protection, so when the grid goes down your power stays on. Powerwall home battery continues Tesla’s mission and makes clean energy accessible to all, day and night.
• Rebates and incentives: In San Diego if you are enrolled into Community Choice Power this makes you eligible for their rebate program which in short also means the utility will be able to discharge your stored energy everyday at no less than 50%  to learn more go to https://sdcommunitypower.org/programs/solar-battery-savings-program/
•   For most homes, you can receive whole-home backup to power your entire home during an outage and have energy independence by producing energy with solar. You can also reduce your reliance on the grid and save money on utility bills. Once installed, Powerwall can be monitored and managed using the Tesla app to customize system behavior to meet your energy goals.
• Powerwall 3 is a fully integrated solar and battery system, designed to meet the needs of your home. Powerwall 3 can supply more power with a single unit and is designed for easy expansion to meet your present or future needs. Powerwall 3 features an integrated solar inverter allowing solar to be connected directly for high efficiency; it can also be added to existing solar or installed on its own, like Powerwall 

 The California Solar Struggle: Homeowners vs. Utilities in the Net Metering Debate

• In the sunny state of California, a heated battle is unfolding between utility companies and homeowners who have embraced solar power. At the heart of this conflict is a policy known as net metering, which has become a contentious issue, reflecting the broader challenges in transitioning to renewable energy.
• Net metering allows homeowners with solar panels to feed excess electricity back into the grid, receiving credits on their electric bills in return. This system aims to encourage the adoption of renewable energy by making solar installations more financially attractive for homeowners. However, as more residents turn to solar power, utilities are raising concerns about the long-term viability and fairness of this approach.
• Utilities argue that net metering leads to a cost shift. They claim that solar homeowners, who pay less for grid maintenance due to the credits they receive, are effectively pushing these costs onto customers without solar panels. Utilities contend that this is not only unfair but also jeopardizes their ability to maintain and upgrade the grid infrastructure. In response, they propose reducing the credits given to solar homeowners or introducing additional fees for these customers.

Homeowners' Perspective: Fair Compensation for Clean Energy

• On the flip side, solar homeowners and environmental advocates argue that net metering is crucial for promoting clean energy. They assert that homeowners should be fairly compensated for the excess power they provide, which benefits the grid and reduces the need for additional power generation. Solar advocates warn that diminishing net metering benefits could significantly deter future solar panel installations, hindering progress toward renewable energy goals.
• This ongoing dispute has prompted regulatory bodies, particularly in California, to reevaluate net metering policies. These agencies are tasked with balancing the need to foster renewable energy with the necessity of maintaining a fair and efficient energy grid. The challenge lies in devising a policy that supports the growth of renewables while ensuring equitable distribution of grid maintenance costs.
• The debate is further complicated by the evolving landscape of solar technology and energy storage. The increasing affordability of solar panels and home battery systems is changing how energy is produced, stored, and distributed, adding new dimensions to the net metering discussion.
• The battle between California utilities and solar homeowners is emblematic of the broader challenges faced in the transition to renewable energy. It's a complex issue, involving economic, environmental, and technological factors. Striking a balance that promotes sustainable energy while ensuring a fair and efficient energy grid remains a pivotal task for policymakers and stakeholders in the Golden State and beyond.
