Always on. Always ready.","story":"Grid-Free Power. EV Ready. Fire Safe.Paladin Power is redefining energy independence with its patented energy storage system and fire-safe battery. Designed to replace a tangle of inverters, batteries, and EV chargers, Paladin delivers resilient, all-in-one energy storage and management in a single device. With unmatched safety, installation speed, and cost efficiency, we believe Paladin is the future of decentralized power.All-in-One Power for Every NeedMost energy systems today are cobbled together using multiple devices: a battery here, an inverter there, and a separate EV charger out in the garage. This patchwork approach is inefficient, expensive, and vulnerable to failure. Paladin solves this problem with a singular modular energy platform.Paladin replaces 6-10 Tesla or Enphase units with one compact, streamlined system. Whether connected to the grid or operating off-grid, Paladin delivers whole-home backup and primary power with the lowest cost per watt-hour in its class.Its modular and scalable design means Paladin can be tailored to power everything from modest residential setups to large-scale commercial or fleet operations. With plug-and-play simplicity, it installs in a fraction of the time of other systems while reducing space requirements by 80%.This isn’t just better tech. It’s a fundamentally better approach to powering our world.Engineered in the USA. Made to Last.Paladin is designed and now built in the U.S. through a strategic manufacturing partnership with JABIL, a Tier 1 global manufacturer. JABIL supports production in the U.S. and operates supply chain hubs all over the globe, ensuring resilience and scalability.The advanced Inverters are tariff-resilient, and designed for long-term deployment. Its solid-state graphene battery technology supports a 100-year lifespan, offering durability that outlasts the competition.Each unit is backed by a 20-year warranty and supported by a U.S.-based infrastructure for diagnostics, configuration, and installer training. Paladin isn’t just built to perform; it’s built to last.How It WorksThe Paladin Energy Storage System (ESS) is unlike any other solution on the market, offering advanced features that transform how homes use power. Once installed, the Paladin system assumes control of all household circuits, working in tandem with solar to become the primary power source.Unlike conventional systems that remain dependent on the grid, Paladin treats the grid as a secondary or backup source. It’s still available if needed, but by default your home runs independently. This design delivers maximum savings while ensuring true energy security.With Paladin, customers are already off-grid the moment an outage occurs. That’s why they remain unaffected by blackouts, power disruptions, and natural disasters. At the same time, Paladin customers enjoy 2–5 times greater savings than traditional net metering by achieving a 100% energy offset.Installing A Paladin Power System is Fast and EasyClimate Change \u0026amp; Grid ReliabilityPaladin Power is the solution for energy resilience in an era of grid unreliability and climate change. As extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and rising demand increasingly strain the grid, homeowners and businesses need dependable, sustainable power.Major Power Outages Affecting 50,000 Or More People By State:Paladin Power combines advanced battery storage, solar integration, and intelligent energy management to deliver uninterrupted electricity at a lower cost. As natural disasters become more frequent, the grid is going to fail more and more. By providing independence from grid instability, Paladin Power ensures reliable power today and tomorrow.Momentum That Matters in a $500B+ MarketPaladin Power has rapidly transitioned from R\u0026amp;D to real-world traction with an impressive go-to-market launch.

The Paladin product is a great idea and I can't wait to see it in action. I do have a couple of questions regarding the market and your competitive position. 1. What specific advantages does Paladin offer compared to Tesla, or Generac, in terms of performance and cost? 2. Which segment, residential, commercial, or remote off-grid—has shown the strongest adoption and profitability so far?","author_name":"Coleman Weaver","votes":2,"created_at":"2025-11-12T16:42:08Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/paladin.power.inc#question-319462","answers":[{"id":319666,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:319666","answer":"Thank you for these questions. There are a multitude of advantages, for starters we have more power in the smallest footprint. For example, When you examine the spec sheet for some of our competitors, you may find that the true output power, real time, instant, continuous output power from the inverter is nothing near what the rated or declared output actually is, in a lot of cases the output power is defined by the solar input power, which is completely deceptive. The point is, if you cannot power in real time, instantly all circuits in a home, regardless of what is running and when, just like what grid does, then you are going to be forced to continue using grid power for how he system operates. Most of our competitors were all designed around an older architecture, older design that requires a grid connection of some type, we call this ac coupled. This is when the inverter is incapable for powering many loads, so it still draws from the grid to help it operate. The Paladin system eliminates this requirement, and is able to make any home completely autonomous, not requiring grid. This is the entire point of having an energy storage solution, to not use grid! The second part of your questions involves specific name brand competitors, Tesla claims to have a 11 KW inverter, however, in looking at the spec sheet it clearly says max charge and discharge is 3.3 KW, this means if you compare the SB50-30 model, you literally need around 10 of the tesla powerwalls to match a single Paladin. Also, the Paladin is only 31\"x32\", the 10 units required by Tesla, and also, Enphase and many others who followed their design model, will nearly fill entire walls. Generac is a generator brand, we are not anti generator, however, they require fuel, and they require a complete rebuild after 2000 hours. These are not able to manage a long term power outage, and its not cheap. Once you purchase the Paladin system, you have grid replacement option that is built to last with a 20 year warranty, just the batteries alone have a 125 year life cycle. Paladin is generally 30-50% less money when comparing the same power as any competing product on the market. The Tesla Powerwall is not really a competing product since the fire recall for their systems. To answer your second question. Because we started our rollout with residential, there is not much comparison between commercial and residential. However, using simple math it can be assumed that with economies of scale, with larger commercial applications the costs will come down even more, thereby providing a less expensive cost to the end user, while improving profit margins.","author_name":"Ted Thomas","votes":2,"created_at":"2025-11-14T20:47:14Z"}]},{"id":319404,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:319404","question":"What makes your invert better and different from those in your competitors products?

I think first and foremost you have to truly care about the industry and you must care about the people you are serving with that product. The short answer is that all of my competitors could have developed this technology, but probably feel very comfortable with having market leadership. When you have Hundred Million dollar marketing budget and well named brand, there is zero incentive to innovate and give the homeowner a true value that is in their best interest, there is literally no motivation or incentive for them to do that. That is until a market disruptor like Paladin comes along. Even if they tried to copy Paladin, it takes around 5 years to get any new inverter to market, testing, beta testing, UL certifications, software, you name it. Also, there is the fact that a lot of the market leaders have billions invested in a particular branding, design, and battery, that make it impossible to change quickly.","author_name":"Ted Thomas","votes":1,"created_at":"2025-11-14T20:55:31Z"}]},{"id":319306,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:319306","question":"I am currently invested in Paladin.

Paladin Power has always been battery agnostic and will always seek to integrate the most advanced battery technology to match the high power capabilities of our inverter. For every energy storage device the Inverter is the heart of that system, the battery no matter how good only enhances the performance vector for the energy storage system. Eventually you can expect that most or all competitors will follow the trend to offer safe, long lasting batteries that perform better and better for their customers. However, our competitors don't have our inverter that can benefit from these new advanced batteries, such that they can do nearly 24x more charge and discharge. When our competitors inverters can only do a few circuits, there is literally no reason for them to even offer a more advanced battery, unless its for fire safety reasons.

You said, my battery pack will be installed by January 2025. What is the status of it? You keep giving me wrong information, you once said it's coming from China, then in March you said it's here in the port, then you said you will send me a picture of it and never received one until today. Early April you said it will be shipped to the location in Texas and you were trying to find a concrete contractor for outdoor unit. Nothing happed and I got frustrated and asked for a refund. You promised for it and its been 3 weeks, I don't see any refund. I am considerably big investor with $25k investment and this is the customer service I get!! So my question is how big is your customer service team and how big are your orders and how will you please regular customers if can not please an investor? Why is it taking so long to install the battery packs? Somewhere in the answers below you mentioned that you are 99% made in the USA and not affected by tariffs!

Although its great to see new innovation in battery technology, it would appear there are several important differences. The primary one is that Paladin Power is agnostic when it comes to batteries, we can choose to incorporate whatever new battery that comes out into our system, the real differences that separates us from NextBolt, and also the rest of the industry is the power electronics. Also, Paladin Power is currently in the market with a commercialized product that is currently being massed produced, sold and installed throughout the United States. The most significant improvement that Paladin has developed is more power in a very small footprint, with enough continuous power and surge power to energize nearly any home. The modular design using advanced materials allows for easy servicing and fast installations that is needed in the industry, along with long term, robust reliability. With major power outages, high tariff's, like California the single best way of mitigating and offsetting the cost for a home is no longer net metering, therefore, the small battery with limited output power that was originally designed for net metering no longer works, the only value proposition is now self consumption, where no grid is used at all, all power comes from solar/battery/inverter, grid becomes the back up, true up costs are killing consumers, thousands are being charged, monthly bills are not going down, but up. The Paladin system eliminates true up costs, assuming solar is properly sized. I hope this answers your question, I can provide even more examples, feel free to reach out to one of our team members at Paladin Power, or visit our website to request more information.","author_name":"Ted Thomas","votes":1,"created_at":"2024-10-31T16:58:12Z"}]},{"id":294207,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:294207","question":"Is the Paladin Power unit compatible with a solar power system \u0026amp; wind turbine system simultaneously??
