The Yotta Energy team recently worked with Native Solar to develop an energy-storage ready system. “When I learned about the Yotta DPI, I knew it would give our clients the edge in solar-plus-storage technology,” said Elijah Johnston-Heck, Commercial PV Project Manager, Native Solar. “I was excited to offer the Yotta DPI to our clients because of its simplicity and scalability.”
Yotta Energy has created the first panel-level energy storage solution that fits perfectly behind any industry standard solar module, neatly integrating into solar PV racking in place of concrete ballast. The Yotta DPI utilizes module-level power electronics that was first popularized in the residential market and neatly integrates with Yotta’s flagship energy storage product. The Yotta DPI meets California Rule 21 requirements, incorporates rapid shutdown, and operates at completely low voltage. It works in single phase and three phase applications.

Developers and owners are able to install the Yotta DPI today and easily add Yotta’s energy storage product in early 2022. As reported in Utility Dive, several federal bills recently introduced for standalone energy storage tax incentives could further increase the amount of renewables and energy storage deployed. Having energy-storage-ready solar PV systems would further contribute to the massive and unprecedented growth seen amidst a global pandemic. Energy-storage-ready installations also give a boost that renewables, such as solar, need to be fully utilized.
Plug-and-play solar-plus-storage solution
“We knew that partnering with an established company in inverter technology would enable us to develop a seamless energy storage experience for our customers,” said Omeed Badkoobeh, CEO of Yotta Energy. “We also looked for a global leader in the space with a high commitment to quality. Our partnership with APsystems enables us to provide a plug-and-play energy storage solution with the reliability our customers need.”
