The Complete Guide to Single-Family Home Energy Storage Capacity: Size It Right for Resilience & Savings
This guide focuses on single-family home energy storage capacity for U.S. homeowners. The optimal capacity ranges 10-20 kWh for daily resilience and bill savings, 4-10 kWh for essential-only backup, and 20-30+ kWh for whole-home coverage. Capacity (kWh) determines backup duration and solar shift efficiency, while key factors include battery chemistry (LiFePO4 is preferred for safety and long life), system efficiency, depth of discharge, and temperature. Sizing requires measuring actual loads, calculating based on backup needs, adjusting for losses, and adding a 15-20% margin. Pairing with solar is recommended, with specific capacity matches for different PV arrays. Power ratings (kW) matter for simultaneous device use. Economics involve installation costs, incentives, and intelligent controls like Ktech's îHEMSess. Emerging trends include lithium dominance and grid-interactive features.

Can U.S. Small Farms Manage PV+Storage with iHEMS? A Practical Guide
U.S. small farms face rising energy costs, unstable grid access, and diverse power needs, making PV+storage systems a viable solution. However, intelligent management is key to maximizing benefits, and iHEMS (Intelligent Home/Energy Management Systems) serves as a centralized tool for this. It optimizes energy distribution by integrating data from PV panels, batteries, farm equipment, and weather forecasts, reducing waste and reliance on grid or diesel power. Real cases show iHEMS-equipped PV+storage cuts energy costs by 14-18% and shortens investment payback periods to 4-6 years. Supported by federal/state incentives and grants covering 25-50% of upfront costs, this setup is financially feasible. Easy to implement via needs assessment, scalable component selection, and user-friendly platforms, it helps small farms enhance operational resilience, lower emissions, and build sustainable businesses.
Floating Solar PV Market - Unlocking a USD 6.9 Billion Powerhouse by 2035
The floating solar PV market surpassed USD 6.9 billion in 2025 and is on track to reach USD 41 billion by 2035, reflecting strong momentum in global renewable energy adoption. Growing at an impressive pace through 2026-2035, the industry is benefiting from increasing demand for land-efficient solar solutions. Asia Pacific is expected to lead the market with a 52.4% share by 2035, driven by widespread reservoir-based solar projects, ambitious utility decarbonization goals, and limited land availability across the region.
