BRATTLEBORO — I'm in the process of learning about Enphase Energy and its IQ8, which advances the technology behind its microinverters and batteries to become grid-agnostic and, eventually, allow for non-grid usage.
In the not terribly-long-from-now future, we should be able to make our own microgrids without Green Mountain Power's involvement at all.
Zola Electric has completed field testing with the Enphase products in Africa, and the technology looks tremendously promising.
