That's good Duke is at least is making some effort.
It is amusing to read about Tuscon Electric wanting to expand with gas turbines. Even the National Bank of Dubai thinks that is a stupid move. When the oil rich middle east is going solar, it's time for southern Arizona to wake the hell up.
I'm thinking that investors are insisting on a storage strategy, for which enphase is not well suited. The stock has been volatile, even with the company seemingly doing good sales.

I just read an article in the Tampa Bay Times about Duke Electric investing $1MM in a 100kw solar / energy storage system at USF in St. Petersburg Florida. They want to investigate and research "energy storage" hardware matched to a solar pv system.
No details on the "battery system" hardware yet.Leave a comment:

Looks like they are all trying to be a " Me Too " in the solar / storage world. Time will tell how it all works out. If it's the only way to get grid tie connected and POCO's are involved, it'll work. The consumer will benefit very little, if any.Leave a comment:

Enphase Battery?
This seems to be a small LifoPo4 battery that attaches to panel racking. Is there a good idea here, or is this just a somewhat desperate attempt by Enphase to find a battery solution for their microinverter architecture? It's an "AC Battery", so, wow. I wonder if it vibrates at 50/60hz?
