What if I tell you that in the spring of 2001, the United States was about to pull the plug on all large-scale solar research? The reason for the decision was that solar would never be able to provide any meaningful amount of electricity to the power grid.

Family time doesn't have to break the bank or the planet! We're at YouSolar, and while we work hard, we also value family adventures. This year, we traded flights for a camping trip on Kauai's Polihale Beach. Imagine waking up to volcanic cliffs and a pristine beach – all for just $30 a night!

YouSolar hit the funding milestone of $700,000 today. We raised $100k in just few weeks, putting us into StartEngine’s “Most Momentum” category. Thank you for investing in YouSolar.

We need to satisfy two functions. First and foremost, the function is to deliver power efficiently and safely. Second, we must ensure the user can interact easily and safely with the PowerBloc.

The PowerBloc is a powerful and flexible home energy system. It seamlessly integrates solar, grid power, generators and even future EV charging, all on a single 400V DC bus. This energy is then stored in two battery types: deep storage Energy Batteries and Power Batteries that provide extra power output.

Our new, revolutionary Gen 3 PowerBloc® battery system aced its acceptance test! This powerful system boasts features like a 100V battery and 100A inverter, making it a giant leap over our previous generation. We're excited to bring this innovation to market!

YouSolar is in China for a critical battery acceptance test to ensure their new LiFePO4 battery meets safety standards before production. This is important as the US lacks a domestic 'giga factory' for this battery type.

The Gen 3 PowerBloc® is a solar power system with a starting option (BASE™) that offers 20 kW of solar power, 100A of power output, and 70 kWh of energy storage. It can be integrated with utility or generator power and even be expanded to include more solar panels and additional AC power.

YouSolar's CIRRUS™ is a cloud service that monitors solar power systems, analyzes data, and forecasts performance using weather data. Named after the high-altitude clouds, CIRRUS provides near real-time data on your solar system's health and predicts how much sun it will get.
