Can I use my own pole?Yes; our systems are designed to attach to any pole with a 4.5 inch diameter or larger.
-
How many days of battery backup?First of all, we guarantee all of our systems with a 24/7 365 performance guarantee and a 3 year product warranty; but if you still want to know, we don’t produce any solar systems with less than 5 days of backup; and in many cases, there is much more than 5 days to make sure you are covered for your local climate and weather patterns.

Do you do installations?We do not install our systems but will frequently assist our integration partners on a technical level, if assistance is warranted.
