"Get in Charge of Your Energy"
By eliminating their energy bills, the average San Diego family can save enough money to put a child through college. We’re talking about roughly $250,000 over the lifetime of the system.
Are you skeptical? Then challenge us to prove it!
Our off-grid, Plug-In Vehicle & personal electronics charging station delivers “Power when you want it, where you want it, day or night, even during a utility blackout”.

You can save with Wipomo’s Energy Ecosystem, and now we’re bringing it to you so you can see for yourself. The Wipomo Mobile Energy Ecosystem is an on-grid and off-grid charging station that demonstrates the versatility of Wipomo’s Ecosystem. Wipomo saw the potential for a mobile demonstration unit in the first iteration of the then called Solar Slider. Two versions later, the Mobile Energy Ecosystem now has an advanced energy management system that accepts energy from solar photovoltaic modules, batteries, grid connection via a standard 120V outlet and input from an electric vehicle. The electricity flows through the whole system, recharging the batteries, powering loads and sending excess energy back to the utility, if available.
Upgrading the unit started and ended in August and Setember of 2013. Wipomo supplied the electronics that make the Energy Ecosystem possible while Roger Davenport, an advisor, designed and installed the system. The Wipomo team took the Mobile Energy Ecosystem to the Sustainability Tour at UC San Diego for the commercial tour and then to Wipomo’s Home Showcase for the residential tour (pictured above). After another round of improvements for safety and display, the Mobile Energy Ecosystem is ready for more events.
Basic (Entry Level) system:
8 x 240w PhonoSolar PV Modules = 1.92kW DC (nominal)
4 x 105Ah Trojan 27TMX 12v Batteries @ 48v = 5.04kWh capacity (nominal)
1 x SunnyBoy 2500 watt inverter at 220v
1 x SunnyIsland 4500 watt inverter / charger
1 x Wipomo EV Export Power 1kW = 2 x 500 watt power supplies @ 210-375VDC input voltage (nominal)
If you are looking to eliminate your electric bill with a solar photovoltaic system, the first step is energy efficiency, to reduce the up front acquisition costs. For every $1 spent on LEDs to replace incandescent lamps, the installed cost of the solar system is reduced by approximately $7, and for Fluorescent replacements it’s about $2.
