The Future Of Sustainable Personalized Energy
SunCulture Solar Inc. announced the launch of SolPad™ in September 2016, a new series of energy products designed to be the most advanced integrated-home or off-grid solar energy products in the world.
The SolPad’s integrated solar panel combines multiple patented technologies into a single beautiful device, including breakthrough battery storage, an innovative inverter system, and intelligent software that engages and interacts with the user, giving them an unparalleled personal energy experience that gamifies energy distribution, delivery, and usage. SolPad is truly the world’s first fully integrated solar energy solution created for the modern smart home and sustainability minded global citizen.
SolPad Home™: An Unprecedented Sustainable Energy Solution
SolPad Home™ is the ultimate sustainable energy solution for powering an entire home with clean solar power. It offers homeowners an unprecedented level of control over their electricity generation, energy storage, and usage. While SolPad Home is designed to be a gorgeous rooftop solar solution, it is much more than just a solar panel.
Each SolPad Home panel is like a smart-energy computer on your roof, with each device being its own energy powerhouse that is completely self sufficient. Homeowners can start with one SolPad and easily add more with minimal installation time.
SolPad Home panels store both solar and grid energy with forthcoming solid-state battery technology. This battery technology is inherently safer than standard lithium-ion-based batteries. They have a broader operating temperature range and longer life.
Each SolPad device is equipped with its own ‘solar micro-storage’, or built-in battery storage at the panel level, and the solid-state low-voltage battery design is optimized for safe rooftop operation.
