BayWa r.e. Solar Systems

As energy storage continues to gain momentum across the residential solar market, installers are looking for solutions that are not only powerful, but practical to sell and deploy. In our most recent webinar, we partnered with Lunar Energy to explore how installers can confidently bring whole-home storage to more customers using the all-in-one Lunar System.  Officially titled, “BayWa r.e. + Lunar Energy: Selling Storage with Confidence,” you can view the entire webinar here or read below the highlights from the session.  A Smarter, More Flexible Approach to Storage Lunar Energy introduced its all-in-one system, designed with modularity and flexibility in mind. This approach allows installers to adapt system configurations based on the needs of each home, making it easier to serve a wider range of customers without overcomplicating the design or installation process.  By combining intelligent energy management with streamlined system architecture, the Lunar System supports both performance and ease of use. This means installers can spend less time navigating complexity and more time focusing on delivering value to their customers.  Turning Complexity into Confidence One of the key themes of the session was confidence. Selling whole-home storage often comes with challenges, whether it is addressing homeowner concerns, explaining system functionality, or managing complex installs.  This webinar highlighted practical strategies to overcome these challenges, including:  Positioning storage based on specific home scenarios  Simplifying technical conversations  Addressing common objections with clarity and transparency  By focusing on these areas, installers can create stronger, more confident sales conversations that resonate with today’s homeowners.  Intelligence That Works Beyond the Scenes  Another standout component of the Lunar System is Lunar AI. This enhances the whole-home system performance through intelligent energy management. By optimizing how energy is stored and used, the system helps homeowners get more value from their investment while giving installers a strong, future-ready solution to offer.  Whether you are just beginning to explore storage or looking to expand your current offerings, BayWa r.e. and Lunar Energy are here to help. With the right approach and solutions, installers can confidently meet growing demand and deliver long-term value to their customers.  If you missed the live session, or you want to revisit the insights that were shared, you can watch the full webinar recording on our YouTube channel.  CONTACT BAYWA R.E.

BayWa r.e.’s Strategic Partnerships Manager, Daniela Schwartzman, sat down with FranklinWH’s Product Manager, Tristan Cronshaw, for an in-depth conversation on the FranklinWH aPower S. This all-in-one solar and storage solution is designed to help installers grow with confidence. As market conditions shift and homeowners’ expectations evolve, storage has become a long-term energy strategy. Throughout the session, the focus stayed on what installers actually need: simplified design, strong performance, and clear sales positioning. Officially named, “BayWa r.e. Presents: aPower S Deep Dive for Installer Growth,” you can watch the full webinar here or continue reading the blog for key information that was shared during the webinar.  Simplified Design, Reduced System Cost The aPower S features direct PV connection with an integrated hybrid inverter, eliminating the need for third-party microinverters or string inverters. Fewer components mean faster installation and less system complexity overall. Tristan also explored how its DC-coupled architecture maximizes efficiency while allowing simultaneous charging from PV and AC sources. This gives installers greater flexibility across a range of use cases. With 15 kWh of usable capacity, strong continuous discharge performance, and a 15-year or 60 MWh throughput warranty, the system is built to deliver long-term reliability homeowners can trust. Built for Flexibility and Expansion  The aPower S can be expanded with additional units, increasing both capacity and output. Combined with compatibility across common residential volage configurations, installers can confidently design systems tailored to a wide range of property sizes and energy needs. Beyond the battery itself, the FranklinWH ecosystem includes the aGate intelligent energy management center, supporting advanced load management, rapid commissioning, and future-reading installations. The result is a streamlined, single-vendor solution that simplifies service, monitoring, and warranty support.

In our most recent webinar, SMA’s Brandon Davis, Director of Distribution, and Tanya Layfield, Territory Sales Manager, joined BayWa r.e.’s Strategic Partnerships Manager, Daniela Schwartzman for a session focused on helping installers navigate this evolving landscape. This webinar brought together industry expertise and real-world insights to help solar professionals turn repowering into a scalable, profitable part of their business.  Officially named, “The Technical and Business Case for a Repeatable Repowering & O&M Model,” you can watch the full webinar here or read the blog below for information that was shared in the session. Why Repowering Is Happening Now During the webinar, Brandon Davis states, “Repowering, in our minds, is the opportunity to upgrade an existing photovoltaic systems inverter and enhance it and maintain the original system functionality but potentially bring additional feature sets to your customer.” Aging inverters, expired warranties, declining system performance, and the absence of the original installer are leaving system owners with limited support. As a result, repowering is becoming a core offering for installers looking to stay competitive while delivering real value to their customers. Identifying and Qualifying Repowering Opportunities Another key focus of the discussion was how installers can efficiently identify repowering opportunities. The SMA team shared practical guidance on evaluating systems based on age, inverter brand, warranty status, and production loss. These indicators allow installers to prioritize leads and focus efforts where repowering delivers the most impact. Creating a Repeatable Sales and Operations Model Beyond technical considerations, the session explored how to structure internal teams to support a successful repowering and O&M strategy. From lead generation and site assessment to sales, permitting, and installation, clearly defined roles and workflows are essential for efficiency and profitability. Brandon and Tanya also shared insights into customer conversations as well as messaging strategies that will help installers build trust with their customers. When the original installer is no longer in business, homeowners and commercial system owners are often uncertain or frustrated. Clear, transparent communication can turn that uncertainty into confidence and long-term relationships.
