This lightweight modular residential and commercial energy storage system empowers homeowners to fully harness the potential of solar energy for all their summer endeavors. In this blog post, we'll dive into valuable tips to help you sell EP Cube home battery systems and highlight their benefits for homeowners during the extended summer season. Tailoring Solutions to Individual Needs One of the standout features of EP Cube is its easily customizable energy storage solutions, from 9.9 – 119.9 kWh, enabling you to design home battery systems that perfectly fit each homeowner's specific needs. You can emphasize that EP Cube provides on-demand energy for the entire home. And with easy connection to EV chargers, EP Cube promotes energy independence and efficiency. This tailored approach ensures homeowners get the optimal solar storage solution for their summer activities, making their seasonal experiences even more enjoyable. This tailored approach ensures homeowners get the optimal solar storage solution for their summer activities such as:

  • Gardening and Landscaping: Maintaining lush gardens and landscapes often requires watering systems and power tools. EP Cube can supply electricity for irrigation pumps and garden equipment, making gardening tasks more efficient.
  • Outdoor Cooking: Summer barbecues and outdoor cooking are popular activities. Solar energy stored in EP Cube can power electric grills and outdoor kitchen appliances, providing a greener and more sustainable cooking experience.
  • Emergency Preparedness: Summer storms and extreme weather events can lead to power outages. Solar+storage systems that include EP Cube act as a dependable backup power source during emergencies, ensuring critical appliances and communication devices stay operational when traditional power sources are disrupted.
  • Empower Energy Independence
