1. A system for distributing, storing, and generating energy, the system comprising:
an array of photovoltaic (PV) panels configured to generate DC electrical energy from solar energy radiated toward the array of PV panels, wherein each PV panel of the array of PV panels comprises a first power conversion module to control an operational characteristic of each PV panel;
a group of battery blades configured to store DC electrical energy, wherein each battery blade of the group of battery blades comprises a second power conversion module to control an operational characteristic of each battery blade;
a first interface configured to receive the DC electrical energy of each PV panel of the array of PV panels, wherein the first interface comprises an inverter configured to convert a combined DC electrical energy of each PV panel of the array of PV panels to a first AC electrical energy and to implement anti-islanding protection, wherein the first interface is further configured to control a voltage or current of each PV panel and control delivery of the first AC electrical energy to one or more of an electrical outlet or panel;
a second interface configured to receive the DC electrical energy of each of the battery blades, wherein the second interface comprises an inverter configured to convert a combined DC electrical energy of each of the battery blades to a second AC electrical energy and to implement anti-islanding protection, wherein the second interface is further configured to control a voltage or a current of each of the battery blades and control delivery of the second AC electrical energy to one or more of the electrical outlet or the panel; and
grid circuit disconnector coupled to the first interface and second interface and configured to receive the first AC electrical energy and the second AC electrical energy, the grid circuit disconnector including a controller configured to synchronize the first AC electrical energy and the second AC electrical energy and to select an islanded mode of operation and prevent back-feed of power during grid outage condition while one or more of the array of PV panels and the group of battery blades is powering an electrical load center in a property that is electrically couplable to the array of PV panels, the group of battery blades, and a power grid.
