Is your plug-and-play solar kit only saving you money 6 hours a day? In this latest video of my Craftstrom Solar Series, I show you the ultimate trick to unlock 24/7 savings. By adding a simple golf cart battery and charge controller between the panels and the micro-inverter, we can force the system to offset home power consumption all night long!
It sounds counter-intuitive, but spending a little more upfront on a battery setup actually speeds up the ROI of the entire Craftstrom kit.
