PowerPod 2

Best-in-Class Smart Battery Solution

The PowerPod2 from Electriq is a smart home battery backup system designed to save on electricity costs and help prepare for blackouts.

GET STARTED

Modes of Operation

In Backup mode, the PowerPod prioritizes keeping batteries charged and ready for grid interruption, using only solar power. When grid service is interrupted, the system will automatically begin islanding, powering local loads with solar power or stored battery power.

In Self-Supply mode, the PowerPod prioritizes powering local loads with solar and/or stored power first. The PowerPod will use generated solar power to recharge batteries before any power is exported to the grid. If the battery is full and a surplus of power is available, that surplus is exported to the grid. If the battery is depleted and no solar power is available, power is drawn from the grid to power loads as a last-priority source.

In TOU mode, the inverter remains grid-connected, but prioritizes the use of battery and renewable sources to run loads during high rate periods. Power supplied from the batteries will attempt to match the load for as long as possible during peak Time-of-Use (TOU).

UTILITY BILL SAVINGS

Maximize savings on your utility bill by pairing your PowerPod 2 with solar.

RELIABLE BACKUP POWER

When grid power goes down, maintain power to critical home appliances ensuring safety and peace-of-mind.

AUTOMATIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Automated cost saving through energy rate arbitrage and system power flow control

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Using energy storage can delay or avoid the need to build additional power plants and reduce emissions harmful to the planet.

“Thanks to my PowerPod, my home stayed powered through our city’s planned outage. The system automatically switched our system to Backup Mode and ensured we had a full charge before the grid went down. Our home was the envy of the neighborhood.”
