DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Engineers at Gridtential Energy, Inc. and Electric Applications Incorporated (EAI), supported by the
Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI), are working to further develop quick and safe plug and play solar powered energy storage systems to meet the boom in demand for renewable, and secure, energy in U.S. homes.
Gridtential Energy is the pioneer of Silicon Joule™, an innovative bipolar battery technology, which uses silicon wafers (similar to those in solar cells) in traditional lead batteries to reduce weight and achieve performance competitive with lithium-ion at a lower cost. The new research project will combine Silicon Joule technology with the testing expertise of EAI to develop high voltage reference batteries specifically for so-called behind-the-meter energy storage applications.
