When it comes to outfitting your house with solar power, it usually means that you have to use a pre-made one-size-fits-all solution that has little to no configurability. This is where a Spanish company 'Siliken' comes in with a fully customizable solar package that can be tailored to fit your houses unique dimensions. Siliken’s ‘energyBox’ is designed to be scalable to the individuals needs and overcomes any obstacle associated with different rooftops.
Depending on your power requirements, the "E-Box" can be configured to use up to 48 PV (photovoltaic cells) panels (maximum system voltage of 1000Vcc) with a power variable between 2 kWp (15 m² surface area) and 11.5 kWp (80 m²) which can be alternatively connected together based on your power needs. Each E-Box comes with everything you need to get set up, which includes the panels, inverters, mounting brackets and even wiring so set up is a breeze. The company also gives you free customer support in the event you have any questions regarding the setup or performance of any E-Box configuration.
DIY kits are often expensive, around $1,000 USD per kW. Siliken's customizable kit will undoubtedly cost much more than that. No work on the prices yet. Can we put a price tag on saving the planet?
