Claim:
1. A solar integrated system enclosure, comprising: an upper section housing one or more inverters; a center section comprising one or more electromechanical isolation breakers, a charge controller, and a computer-implemented local data processing gateway device that includes one or more software modules for implementing method steps to monitor, control, and store energy from one or more alternate energy sources and to implement one or more processes for providing consumer energy management; a lower section housing one or more storage modules; a frame comprising a width, a depth, and a height to form a single, vertical rectangular cross section box of varying widths; one or more corrosion resistant outer panels comprising a width, a depth, and a height to form a rectangular cross section box of varying widths, said one or more panels coupled to said frame to form a single vertical freestanding outdoor utility grade enclosure, said enclosure being open on a front side and coupled to a hinged door; an internal upper section, center section and lower section backpan for mounting one or more solar integrated system components; a compact footprint equal to a depth not to exceed a utility workspace; a sloped top panel wherein a rear edge height is greater than a front edge height; a door jamb coupled to a top portion and one or more sides of an open front side of said frame; a hinged front door including a three point rod and latch system to engage a gasketed internal rectangular circumference and a handle latch on an external side of the front door, said hinged front door coupled to said door jamb; one or more hot swappable energy storage modules coupled to a shunt switch for physically isolating the energy storage modules and further coupled to an isolation switches panel assembly via at least one unique safety connector mechanism and an electrical bus connecting terminals of the energy storage modules to a main bus which connects to the charge controller and said one or more inverters through a unitized system; and one or more horizontal perforations on a back panel and located a minimum distance between exhaust ports on said one or more inverters, a converter and said charge controller.
