Overview
Residential backup storage vendors are pairing product launches with distinct adoption strategies. In the U.S., Anker Solix is positioning a whole-home system around direct-to-consumer sales and bundled installation. In India, Ola Electric is framing its entry around a domestically designed and manufactured residential BESS from its Tamil Nadu gigafactory.
