Briggs and Stratton SimpliPHI System Gives Your Home Or Business A Backup Power Bank
We’ve dealt with our fair share of power loss due to hurricanes here in central Florida, but losing power due to a natural disaster is something that most people can relate to, regardless of location. Briggs and Stratton aim to provide a solution with the SimpliPHI Energy Storage System. We’re looking at how it works and what benefits it poses for those looking for energy independence.
Briggs and Stratton SimpliPHI: Overview
Briggs and Stratton’s SimpliPHI Energy Storage System (ESS) takes generated power from your home or business’s energy source, such as solar panels, generators, or even the power grid itself, and stores that power for either immediate or later use.
You can use the stored power however you want, such as for emergency backup power in the case of a power outage. It can also be used to power an off-the-grid system without an energy grid connection.
This ESS can even help you reduce your home’s utility bills. By supplementing your power from the ESS, you can offset your energy consumption and avoid using grid power during peak-rate times, like during the evening.
This system is scaleable and modular, so you can build the configuration that works best for your home or business, letting you control the amount of energy storage you desire. Briggs and Stratton tells us that it’s sized for your particular needs, with the ability to choose separate components based on how much energy storage you need.
Briggs and Stratton SimpliPHI Price
Since there is so much variability regarding which ESS setup is best for your home or business, pricing fluctuates quite a bit. There are packages for basic power outage protection, all the way to larger installations for users with numerous essential loads. Plus, with government incentives and rebates, homeowners can lower the price for installation even further.
The basic power outage protection package includes one inverter and two batteries and starts at $10,260. Other common configurations include one inverter/four batteries (starting at $20,552), one inverter/six batteries (starting at $29,028), and two inverters/six batteries (starting at $32,628).
Briggs and Stratton backs your purchase with a 10-year warranty.
