Incentive Programs
SunWind, LLC is proud to announce that we are certified to install and service the following manufacturers of battery back-up systems. Enphase, Tesla and Franklin.
The Sonnen battery line comes very well-reviewed and offers a favorable alternative to existing products from the likes of Tesla, LG, Acquion, and other manufacturers. Sonnen's new ecoLinx is a revolutionary innovation in energy storage that integrates clean energy with home automation and intelligent, safe battery technology.
With blustery nor'easters battering New England homeowners on a regular basis (especially in Massachusetts), having a battery back-up for your solar PV system makes a lot of sense as a more ecologically-friendly alternative to gas-powered generators. Furthermore, energy storage systems have recently become eligible for two significant incentive programs: the 30% federal tax credit for systems charged by PV (according to recent federal legislation; details of which can be found \[here](https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy18osti/70384.pdf)) and the SMART program (there will be a dollar-amount adder to the overall incentive rate according to how much storage is added and how efficient the battery system is). If you are interested in solar PV and energy storage, \[contact us](/contact) today.
The Enphase Battery products link up seamlessly with their new line of IQ-8 micro inverters….. Add more from Enphase sales literature
Enphase IQ Batteries are built on a distributed architecture platform. This modular microinverter design means you can quickly and easily expand your system, as your needs grow. And with IQ8 on solar panels, there are no solar and battery sizing restrictions.

If you have an existing solar system and are now exploring an energy storage system the Franklin or Tesla system may be a better option for you.
The Tesla and Franklin batteries can connect to virtually any existing solar system. The design of the battery system is based on the loads you want to provide with back-up power and the size of your existing solar system.
The goal is to install enough storage capacity to meet your needs but not so large that your solar system is unable to recharge the batteries in a timely manner for the next night…
Contact us and we would be happy to design a system based around your needs and existing solar system capacity.
