The 2024 Solar Games tournament featured eight residential solar
installer teams from across the U.S., each installing a complete
on- or off-grid solar + storage system under a 90-minute time
limit. The bracket-style games culminated in the championship round
on January 19, which resulted in Aloha Solar Power winning the
Solar Games Champion title and earning a $10,000 cash prize.
As a Solar Games equipment sponsor since 2019, Electriq provided
its flagship PowerPod 2 residential battery systems for the
grid-tied installations. This year, the PowerPod 2 systems were
installed by each of the four finalists, including Aloha Solar
Power, GRID Alternatives, Huston Electric, and Michigan Solar
Solutions.
“We’re thrilled to return to ISNA/ESNA as an equipment sponsor,
participating in one of the show’s highlight events,” said Frank
Magnotti, CEO of Electriq. “It’s an invaluable experience for the
installers to demonstrate the ease of our PowerPod 2 installation
and for us to contribute our systems to an event that strengthens
the residential solar industry.”
“Figuring out how to install the PowerPod 2 was quick, and
everything in the manual translated well. We liked that the system
was modular and lighter than others on the market,” said Gabe Von
Wellsheim, team member of Aloha Solar Power, Solar Games Champion
for the second consecutive year.
“Our team felt well prepared going into the games after
completing the PowerPod 2 training modules,” said Paul Cleary,
Executive Director at GRID Alternatives San Diego, which provided
the only all-woman installer team at this year’s tournament. “We
were eager to jump in and make lots of progress on the installation
in the short 90 minutes, and the whole process was enjoyable.”
“Installing the PowerPod 2 was a smooth process – we had no
hiccups putting the system together in under 75 minutes,” said
Matthew Huston, President of Huston Electric. “We’re very proud of
how our team performed at the Solar Games. This was our first time
competing and we exceeded our own expectations.”
“We appreciate Electriq Power supporting the Solar Games and the
conference – it’s a great learning experience for everyone in the
solar industry,” said Karl Hercula, Vice President of Field
Services at Michigan Solar Solutions. “The PowerPod 2 system was
very straightforward and easy to breeze through installation with
the product manual.”
More than 10,000 industry professionals attended ISNA/ESNA 2024,
setting a new attendance record. Electriq’s PowerPod 2 is an
integrated residential energy storage system designed to store and
manage solar power. The system offers a high power output of 7.6kW

that enables the system to cycle through multiple operating modes,
