We’ve been operating solar panels at the Transport Evolved headquarters for many years, but given our massive electricity bill, we’re always on the lookout to find new ways of harnessing the power of the sun. So when a company called Calpha reached out and asked if we’d like to review its solar panels and solar inverter capable of both grid-tied and off-grid operation, we had to say yes.
Here’s our unboxing of the panels and inverter – as well as a brief explanation of what we hope will be next.
