I'm looking at California approved ESS for battery backup only, and trying to decide between a few systems.
SGIP Approved Equipment
My decisionmaking sheet
The thing that is standing out to me is the listed battery capacity, vs the SGIP list's battery capacity. If you look in my decisionmaking sheet, I have a reduced number of combinations I'm interested in, and their AC Output in kWh, vs their battery storage in kWh
For HomeGrid Stack'd + SolArk, their 9.6kWh batteries produce 9.25kWh of AC output. 96%.
For EG4 PowerProESS, the 14.3kWh of battery produces 11.097kWh of AC output. 77%.
That's wild to me. If you look at other rows with EG4 batteries, they are all around 77%. There is a SolArk15k + 6 EG4-LL's at 77%. And an EG4 18kPv + 3 EG4-LL's at 77%. Looking at the other rows without calculating, they all seem around that.
Any speculation as to why? Misconfigured batteries? Improper testing?
