Senior Technical Manager Fortress Power Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Background, Description, Delivery and Learning Objective The solar industry across the entire project development cycle is not prepared to properly right-size solar battery systems based on customer wants and needs. Even solar design software is incapable of quickly and accurately modeling the expected solar battery performance for both short-term and long-term power outages. John Cromer simulates thousands of system configurations, to graph the impact of solar and battery size on electrical reliability and grid resilience, based on multi-year experience working in lithium battery manufacturing and solar contracting. Those already familiar with the National Solar Radiation Database (i.e. PVWatts) will understand how add battery-specific metrics to their solar design practice.
