Energy Storage

Enphase installers are seeing a spike in deployments of its microinverters plus batteries in Colorado, a state with plenty of sunshine mixed with extreme weather events.

Current price signals to distributed battery owners “do not align with grid value,” says a study from the national laboratory.  

The investment is planned to support development and construction of Hydrostor’s 1.1 GW, 8.7 GWh of Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage projects that are well underway in California and Australia, and help expand Hydrostor’s project development pipeline globally.

The integrated battery and control system with built-in adaptive learning algorithms is inverter-agnostic, comes EV charger ready, and turns a home into a micro-grid when the grid is down.

Cald is the first stand-alone battery energy storage system asset sold by Eolus.

A 30 MW solar PV project on the Island of Hawaii will provide enough power for approximately 15,000 households.

The Saddlebrook Solar + Storage Project will be a 102.5 MW installation, paired with 6.5 MW/52 MWh of Lockheed Martin’s GridStar Flow battery technology, and will be the largest flow battery energy storage facility in Alberta.

Brooklyn Public Library Coney Island Branch recently completed a solar plus storage project that consists of 21kW of roof mounted solar PV + 19 kWh SimpliPhi BOSS.6 energy storage system that meets the New York City limit of 20kWh. 

The Manatee Energy Storage Center in Florida is made up of 132 energy storage containers, organized across a 40-acre plot of land, equivalent to 30 football fields.
