CraftStrom Solar

CraftStrom specializes in providing plug-and-play solar kits and home battery systems, designed to make renewable energy affordable and accessible to the everyday homeowner or renter, including those in apartments or major cities. The company’s core mission is to democratize solar power by eliminating the need for complex, costly, and time-consuming traditional installations that typically require permits, utility interconnection agreements, and professional electricians. Their patented “Permission-Free” approach allows customers to generate clean energy and achieve energy independence simply by plugging their systems into any standard wall outlet, with some kits offering a payback period as short as two years.

The CraftStrom system is a “smart solar system” comprised of bifacial solar panels, a Smart Battery, and a Power Meter. A central component is the Power Meter, which actively tracks household energy usage and solar output to enforce “zero-export” logic, ensuring 100% of the generated power is used within the home or stored in the battery, preventing backfeed to the grid. The entire system is engineered for safety and compliance, utilizing UL 1741 certified microinverters and incorporating an NEC Smart Breaker that monitors total circuit current to prevent overloads. The products communicate wirelessly, even if Wi-Fi is down, and their lightweight, modular design offers flexible placement options and portability for emergency or off-grid use.
