The battery is built on the company’s 314Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cell technology. To mitigate fire risk, within each cabinet the battery cells are protected by heat barriers, a three-level electrical protection system, and cell-level precision management. The modular design is engineered to prevent thermal propagation between cabinets, further mitigating fire risk.
FlexBank 1.0 has a skid-mounted design that is intended to support rapid on-site assembly and versatility in layout configurations. Canadian Solar said the system is fully compatible with power conversion systems, ensuring integration for both new deployments and site augmentations.
The company will display its product at booth V10031. Find a full product datasheet here.
8) Solar remanufacturer Ontility to open new facility in Tennessee
Terrepower, formerly known as BBB Industries, an aftermarket specialist in sustainable manufacturing, will showcase its solar-focused brand Ontility. The company purchases, repairs and refurbishes solar modules inverters, racking and balance of system (BOS) components. It buys excess solar inventory from end users, developers, contractors, manufacturers, and brokers. Components are purchased from cancelled or downsized projects, liquidated inventories and other secondary sources.
Ontility applies a factory-level approach to remanufacturing aftermarket solar components. The company said it goes beyond simple repair and refurbishment, and each solar module undergoes extensive diagnostics, cell-level analysis and component replacement to restore it to its original factory specifications.
Terrepower announced it recently completed a 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Sparta, Tennessee with the capacity to produce 300,000 solar modules per year and the ability to scale up to over one million panels per year. At full capacity, the operation is expected to divert more than 16 million pounds of material from landfills each year and return enough sustainably manufactured solar panels to the market to power as many as 20,000 homes.
Attendees at RE+ can visit Ontility at Booth F20615.
9) PV Hardware opens solar tracker factory in Texas
Solar tracker and foundation solution provider PV Hardware has expanded its presence in U.S. manufacturing with the open of a new facility in Houston, Texas.
PV Hardware said it expects the 95,000-square-foot facility will create 100 long-term jobs in the Houston area. The factory joins the company’s existing facility in Houston, a $30 million investment that opened in May 2024.
