At Fibonacci Energy, we often talk about the #FiboFamily. It’s becoming more than a hashtag; it’s our core belief that going solar is about building lasting relationships and strengthening communities. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Sheldon Woods subdivision in Mundelein, Illinois, where a quiet energy revolution is taking place, one roof at a time.
What started with a single installation has blossomed into a neighborhood-wide movement. With over 11 homes (and counting!) now powered by Fibonacci Energy, this community is a living showcase of what’s possible when neighbors come together to embrace a clean energy future. Our team has been on-site, ensuring every panel is placed with the precision and care our name is built on. But a project of this magnitude—one that creates a true local microgrid—is bigger than any single company. It’s a story of powerful partnerships.
The Power of Collaboration
To bring a vision like this to life, we collaborated with industry leaders who share our commitment to quality and innovation. Working hand-in-hand with Advanced Power USA, we engineered a system that is robust, resilient, and ready for the future.
The scale of this project is staggering: over 180kW of solar has been installed alongside more than 1,500kWh of collective energy storage. Each home is equipped with a powerful Sol-Ark 15kW inverter and an incredible 80kWh of battery storage—far more than their current needs. This isn't just about offsetting an energy bill; it’s about achieving 100% energy independence and creating a neighborhood that can stand on its own, even when the grid can’t. This is the future of electricity in Illinois: resilient microgrids, built by teams who believe that good things happen when everyone works together.
Spotlight On Our Partner: Renon Power Energy Storage
A critical component of this project's success is the state-of-the-art battery technology from Renon Power. When designing a system for total energy security, the choice of energy storage is paramount. We needed a solution that was not only powerful but also smart, scalable, and relentlessly reliable.
The Renon Power Xcellent Plus batteries were the clear choice. Their advanced technology allows for massive storage capacity, enabling us to pair up to 15 batteries with a single 15kW inverter. This simplifies the interconnection process and provides homeowners with an immense reservoir of power. With over 1,500 kWh of Renon Power storage installed across this single subdivision, these homes are equipped to handle any outage and are positioned to take advantage of future opportunities, like selling peak-time electricity back to ComEd for a profit.
We are proud to partner with companies like Renon who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in energy storage. To learn more about their innovative solutions, we encourage you to visit their website: www.renonpower.com.
