The ElectrIQ PowerPod can be wall or ground mounted and comes in at an all-in-weight of 240 lbs., making it one of the lightest complete systems on the market. Other features include module level monitoring and optimization, allowing users to monitor individual panel production, while increasing system output through optimization. Additionally, the system will be rated to NEMA 3R which allows for indoor and outdoor installations. It can be connected to a home’s local network via Ethernet, WiFi, and an optional 3G connection for redundancy. The ElectrIQ PowerPod has an optional generator auto start kit that will connect and automatically start a home generator system in case of a prolonged black out with little or no sunshine.
ElectrIQ’s systems are integrated with Amazon’s Alexa, which will allow users to ask Alexa questions about their energy consumption, production, and battery status. Alexa is joining other device integrations in the IQ System which help to monitor and potentially control other smart home devices.
