Gates-backed Fourth Power pilots thermal storage based on TPV cells Fourth Power, backed by Bill Gates’ venture firm, has developed high-density thermal energy storage based on thermophotovoltaic cells. The tech, which is reportedly 10 times cheaper than lithium-ion batteries, is based on the U.S. company’s patented liquid metal heat transfer system.
Canadian Solar launches new grid-scale battery SolBank 3.0 supports up to 2.35 MW / 5 MWh of grid-scale renewable energy storage and dispatch.
