The ECREEE PV system demonstrates the social, economic and environmental benefits of green energy: The project will generate considerable energy savings over its expected life-time of 25 years. ECREEE will buy less electricity from the grid and will sell remaining “waste” electricity to the grid. [pdf]
Other internationally well-known integrated solar + storage manufacturers, like Tesla, and until-recently, LG, similarly may have a leg up the installation ladder over other PV manufacturers at the moment — like Canadian Solar, Jinko and Qcells — that have recently tacked on their own energy storage system lines (more on those later).
