How does it Work?
The size of our Hub equipment is determined by the local population the operator intends to service. If the BattLit Hub equipment is to be installed at an existing solar location, it is important to ensure the system has enough spare capacity to run the chosen size of the BattLit Hub. The following table gives a selection of suggested system sizes (but can be bespoke to fit operators’ requirements).
