Installing and commissioning the Ara doesn't eat up time or take a big crew. With a team of six, I can comfortably knock out two projects a week.

They invited me to their lab for full training, so I knew the system layout and install workflow going in. Connecting with the homeowner ahead of time let us confirm site details and set expectations, and when we showed up, all the equipment was there, so we started with zero delays. 
 
The install was one of the cleanest we've done. The all-in-one design cuts out wiring separate devices for the solar inverter and bidirectional charger, and adding solar later is simple, with no main panel changes. The dcbel team also stayed on-site the whole time to answer questions and back us up.
