The LiFePO4 battery HESS enables residential and small business customers to create their own stable micro-energy grid and lessen the impact of increasing power fluctuations and outages. HESS are designed with adaptability in mind, ready to evolve alongside changing energy requirements.

“These order deliveries will reflect a significant milestone in bringing the e360 HESS to market in partnership with Wellspring Solar, our trusted integration partner,” said Brian Schaffner, Chief Executive Officer of Expion360. “We believe the HESS product line will benefit from a fast-growing battery energy storage market, and consumer uptake can rapidly scale with the introduction of products that improve price, flexibility, and integration. We also anticipate HESS will benefit from incentives available through California's Self-Generation Incentive Program and federal tax credits available through the Inflation Reduction Act for home battery systems. We look forward to working closely with Wellspring for additional orders in 2025.”
