Great Saint James Storage Retrofit
Prosolar is pleased to submit our Lump Sum Proposal to furnish all labor,
consumables, equipment, tools, supervision, testing, and engineering to
perform the following referenced work:
Our recommendation, based on the final testing of the individual stacks is to
replace the 310kWh battery bank with a 305kWh lithium-ion solution. Our
recommendation is based on a few key elements:
1) Equivalent battery capacity
2) Plug-and-play compatibility with your existing system
3) Increased kVa output to better manage large loads
4) Better online communication
5) Increased integrated battery management system
6) Sound vendor balance sheet to ensure warranty accountability

COMPANY OVERVIEW: The Iron Edison Lithium Iron Battery is the newest
technology in energy storage batteries. Fully compatible with industry-leading
inverters and charge controllers, Iron Edison's Lithium Iron Batteries offer the
safest, simplest and most dependable energy storage solution for off-grid and
grid tied battery backup applications.
Our Energy Storage Solutions: Assembled in Denver, CO, Iron Edison
Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries are a complete energy storage system. The
integrated Battery Management System (BMS) monitors and regulates each
cell in the battery bank to provide perfectly balanced charging and discharging
while guarding against over-charge, over-discharge and thermal overrun
situations. Internal DC disconnects provide battery protection and isolation.
The entire lithium iron solar battery system is contained in a rugged metal
enclosure.
FEATURES: Lithium Iron solar batteries have all the advantages of modern
power storage. A Lithium Iron battery's electrochemical capacity allows it to
store more energy than lead acid. If you're looking for energy storage for your
residential solar panels and UPS systems, lithium batteries are your best
options. Furthermore, due to its chemical composition, we're able to design
smaller but more efficient batteries.
SAFETY: Lithium Iron batteries have superior chemical and thermal stability
than other Lithium-ion batteries. It remains cool at room temperature while
Lithium-ion heats up faster and may suffer thermal runaway under similar
charging conditions.
LEAD ACID REPLACEMENT: As solar energy becomes a popular power
source, lithium solar batteries will become the standard option for
manufacturers and installers. Replacing your lead-acid batteries with lithium
iron is a step in the right direction. As such, if you switch solar panel systems,
your Iron Edison Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries will still be useful. We have
lithium batteries at 48v, with capacities up to 5,600 Ah.

BATTERY LIFE: Supporting a daily 80% depth of discharge, Iron Edison
Lithium Iron Batteries should last 16 years or more (6,000 cycles), and comes
with a 10 year warranty.
INVERTER CHARGER BMS COMPATIBILITY: The Iron Edison Lithium Iron
Battery is designed to be fully compatible with industry leading inverters and
charge controllers like Schneider, Outback, Magnum, MidNite Solar and SMA.
Unlike the Tesla PowerWall, Iron Edison's LiFePO4 battery comes in industry
standard 48 volt configurations making it a direct replacement for lead acid
battery chemistries.
FEATURES:
• 100% Maintenance Free
• Sealed Battery - No Venting Required
• Small Footprint - Typically 1/4 the size & weight of flooded batteries
• High Charge & Discharge Rate
• Integrated On-Board Digital Battery Management System
• Communications from our battery to Outback, Schneider Electric, and SMA
using MODBUS and CANBUS communication protocols
• Our BMS controls charge rate, request for generator and grid charge
• Overcurrent Protection (class t fuse) and DC Disconnect (Gigavac
contactor) built into the battery
• Steel Enclosure, made in Colorado
• 400 Ah - 2,000 Ah Capacities Available at 48 Volts DC.
• Proven battery management and communication with existing SMA Sunny
Island System, Multi-Cluster Box, SMA grid-tied inverters and existing solar
