[RE-wrenches] Energy Storage and Working Spaces for Other Equipment

[penobscotsolar at midmaine.com]

We have been using them regularly with Fortress Power EVaults (18.5 kW)
with very good results. Fortress is working on the communications between
the two, already have their Flex5Kw battery working with it. Easy to
install, dependable and the 400 lb EVault is on wheels. Just back from
installing a double 12kW with three EVaults, a double 12 kW with two
EVaults, and a single with two EVaults, all on Man O War Cay in the
Bahamas. We had three previously installed systems there from last winter
and all are working extremely well with happy clients!
