Editor's note: the United States, California, in 2019, with 1 million sets of residential solar power systems, early adopters of residential solar energy is now using the new inverter to upgrade and transform the original solar power system, and supporting the deployment of battery energy storage system. Solar + energy storage facilities or will become a part of the American family user key.
refrigeration expert Willis Carrier invented the world's first air conditioner in 1903. After 50 years, solar portal, air conditioning start application in homes and businesses. In the 1970 s, air conditioning industry development gradually mature.
and the solar energy industry development is following a similar path. Bell laboratories in 1954 developed a solar cell. After 50 years, residential solar some market began to get application in the United States. And California and Hawaii is in the forefront of the solar industry development.
in 2019, California has deployed 1 million sets of residential solar power systems, early adopters of residential solar energy is now using the new inverter to upgrade and transform the original solar power system, and supporting the deployment of battery energy storage system. Nowadays, solar net, deployed across the country hundreds of millions of building the residential solar + energy storage system.
so air conditioning industry development indicates the development of solar energy storage industry +? Here are some possible trajectory:
solar industry will be from the component brand development for the system. As battery energy storage system becomes the standard configuration, this development will become more important. Some manufacturers have the production of photovoltaic module and battery capacity, solar panels, but not all of the components must be produced by energy storage system manufacturers. For example, some vendors will be the pv module and OEM inverter together, and install the deployment by its brand dealers.
in the next 20 years, the solar energy market segment may will be losing money, because all the roof of the building will be installed solar power generation facilities. With the air conditioning industry, solar power generation system can not only bring economic benefits, and can bring environmental benefits. By improving the environmental comfort air conditioning industry to push the sales. And solar market besides temporary incentive policy, the basic economic factors will promote its long-term deployment.
inverter, monitoring, batteries and configuration support service will be in solar power contractor business is becoming more and more important. The customer will choose the contractor according to the industry reputation. Because of the little maintenance cost of accounting into the installation, so the cost of maintenance of the existing solar power system can be very expensive.
the branding will be a solar equipment + energy storage system is the key differentiating factor. As the world famous brand air conditioning system, solar power grid, China solar energy network, industry leading solar energy equipment manufacturers need to be based on financial and technical to invest in their brands.
the battery energy storage system and integration of residential energy system will be a solar contractor's core competitiveness. Therefore, as the change of equipment and power rate, these vendors will expand the scope of business to the indoor electrical wiring and communication, home network integration, based on the application of configuration, as well as remote software updates.
inverter will very likely be home energy hub, due to the inverter to control the power output, and storage, so you can according to the condition of electricity prices, power grid and equipment of the power flow between energy demand guide energy equipment.
in the end, software, communication and network security will be solar + the most important part of the energy storage system. If there is no a set of safe and easy to use software, installation personnel and customers will not be able to better application of solar power generation facilities, inverter and battery technology.
Willis Carrier may never have thought of air conditioning became popular in the world, and so is the inventor of the solar power generation facilities. Believe that solar + energy storage facilities will be a key part of American households.
