Spanish start-up unveils 1kWh portable battery for multiple uses
The portable storage system contains lithium batteries, a charger, and an inverter, all fully integrated into a sealed and protective case.
Growatt releases battery for off-grid solar
Growatt’s new AXE LV battery covers a wide range of capacities, from 5kWh to 400kWh, and can support off-grid systems with power outputs of 3kW to 30kW.
US zero-carbon future would require 6TWh of energy storage
US researchers suggest that by 2050, when 94% of electricity comes from renewable sources, approximately 930GW of energy storage power and six and a half hours of capacity will be needed to fully cover demand for electricity in the United States.
Sodium-ion battery tech gets commercial testing in UK
Harwell Campus will provide a testbed for energy storage technologies coming from three U.K.-based innovative businesses, bringing their solutions one step closer to the market.
Quantum battery prototype for superextensive charging
Scientists in Italy designed the prototype as a microcavity enclosing a molecular dye known as Lumogen-F orange (LFO). The charging power of the device is described as super-extensive, meaning that it increases faster with battery size.
Discover Battery unveils lithium ferro-phosphate battery for off-grid solar, tiny homes
At Intersolar North America in California, Canada-based Discover Battery has launched the Helios energy storage system, an LFP battery designed to operate in remote conditions.
Ecoflow launches its portable solar storage solution in Europe
