NeoVolta energy storage systems approved as Rule 21 compliant

NeoVolta, an SEC fully-reporting, growth-oriented manufacturer of Smart Energy Storage Systems, announces the approval for California’s Common Smart Inverter Profile (CSIP). This is a set of standards for interoperability and data communication between a solar inverter and the electric utility. By meeting the testing requirements, NeoVolta’s products are compliant with the California Energy Commission’s Rule 21 phase 2 (communication) and phase 3 (control) requirements.

CSIP, which became mandatory in California on June 22, 2020, is part of a larger strategy for solar and energy storage system to enable overall utility system interoperability and smart grid capabilities. On August 6, 2020, NeoVolta’s inverter and communications gateway were approved as being compliant with CSIP standards. On August 13, 2020, NeoVolta’s overall NV14 Energy Storage System (ESS) was also approved by CEC.

Smart inverters have built-in digital and software technologies for control and communications with the utility grid in order to regulate energy flow. A smart inverter is needed to “island” a solar home off the grid in case of a power failure. In the event of a blackout, NeoVolta’s battery storage systems automatically disconnect from the grid and seamlessly power the critical loads needed to keep a home safe, comfortable and connected.
