Published at | Updated at
POCATELLO – It looks like eastern Idaho is getting some international exposure.
On Dec. 8, Reuters published a story about Inergy Solar in Pocatello. To summarize, the company’s CEO, Sean Luangrath, was looking at moving his operations to Salt Lake City, but decided to stay in Pocatello because of the local workforce and nearby expertise at Idaho National Laboratory.

Inergy makes portable solar energy collection and storage systems. Its best-selling home system, the 1,100-watt-hour Kodiak, measures 14 inches by 7 inches by 8 inches and weighs less than 20 pounds. After two hours of charging with solar panels, the unit has enough power stored to keep a refrigerator running for 30 hours.
In 2017 the company received technical assistance from INL battery researchers. To learn more about that, follow this link.
