PowerBloc for the Whole House

Awesome Power and Large Storage. The PowerBloc comes as rack-mounted modules in a compact cabinet. The PowerBloc has a dual 400/600 V core. Energy is managed at 400 V while power is delivered to the inverter at 600 V. The result is a super-efficient nanogrid with incredible power and cost-effective energy storage.

Power Up. In the United States, utilities traditionally deliver 24 kW or 48 kW of power, commonly referred to as “100 Amp” or “200 Amp” service. Power needs will increase as our homes electrify with electric cooktops, vehicle charging, and heat pumps. We are already living in that future. We offer the PowerBloc in power units of 24 kW. You can combine eight of them for up to 200 kW of power, equivalent to an “800 Amp” service.

Fill the Storage. We recommend having about 24 hours of storage at average consumption measured during the season of highest demand. This amount of storage balances day-to-day variation in the sunshine, makes energy management easier and allows going into a sudden power outage with confidence.

Pre-configured Units. The PowerBloc is a fully parallel nano-grid, and our designers can Build Your Power Bloc by Bloc to meet even the most complex and demanding requirements. But for most of our customers, our pre-configured units are perfect and allow building large systems quickly.
  • BASE™ 24-70 delivers 24 kW of AC Power to the home, equivalent to a 100 A utility service. It has 70 kWh of energy storage and includes all connections to a solar array, the grid, and a generator. The unit comprises two cabinets.
  • STORE™ 20 and STORE 40 are storage expansion units that add 20 kWh and 40 kWh energy storage, respectively, to the PowerBloc.
  • PEAK™ 24-30 adds 24kW of AC power and 30 kWh energy storage to the PowerBloc.

The BASE unit was designed to replace 100 A (24 kW) utility service and is perfect for many homes. However, many homes need 200 A (48 kW) of service. Adding a PEAK unit gives the home 50 kW of power, equivalent to 200 A service. In many cases, a home’s energy consumption requires an additional STORE 20 or STORE 40.

The table below illustrates which PowerBloc units can replace 100, 200 or 300 A utility service.

This sizing tool is only an approximate indication of the specifications of a PowerBloc needed for a certain home.

Buy with Confidence. Be bold and put your PowerBloc together. Chances are you will get it right. But regardless, we will review all PowerBloc designs and confirm your design goals so you can buy your PowerBloc confidently. Our design team can also help you create the PowerBloc that is right for you.

BASE 24-70 Meets the Needs of Most Homes

Ready for an Independent Life. We did the work for you. BASE is the ideal place to start building your independent power system. BASE comprises two cabinets. It delivers 24 kW of AC Power, equivalent to a 100 A utility service, and has 70 kWh of energy storage.

Powers a Modern Home. If you have natural gas heating and cooking, air conditioners only in certain rooms, and if you can leave very large loads, such as a hot tub, on utility power, BASE is perfect for you. In most cases, BASE will even support one Level-2 car charger.

Fully Connected. BASE includes all connections to the solar array, the grid, and a generator.

Solar Array
Ask your solar installer or YouSolar for a quote for solar panels, racking, and array installation. Installing the STEP micro-converters, part of the PowerBloc, is easy and requires minimal training.

STORE 20 and 40

20 or 40 kWh

Expand Your Storage.
Some homes need more storage. The STORE unit provides additional storage at a surprisingly low cost. STORE transfers energy to the high-power batteries of the HOME or PEAK. Multiple STORE can build even the largest energy storage system.

STORE 20 and STORE 40 add 20 kWh or 40 kWh energy storage to the PowerBloc, respectively.

Mix and Match

The possibilities of a PowerBloc are nearly unlimited. We have designed a PowerBloc to power a home in downtown Calistoga, CA, a clinic in Key West, FL, and an apartment building in the Bronx, NY. With the PowerBloc, you will likely run out of space before you run out of possibilities.

Customizing Your PowerBloc

The pre-configured PowerBloc units, BASE, STORE, and PEAK, are the perfect fit for most customers, but you can customize and expand them. Check out the Bloc by Bloc section of our website to learn about PowerBloc modules and contact our design team to help you customize your solution.
