Energy storage appears to be fully charged for exponential growth

Lithium-based energy storage volumes are expected to grow by multiple orders of magnitude in the coming years, with a 1,000% capacity increase by 2023. Lithium-based energy storage volumes deployed to the United States will grow by multiple orders of magnitude in the coming years, with a 1,000% capacity increase over the next two years projected

Fully Charged Show 2021

We're just back from the Fully Charged show and had a great time! Tanjent at Fully Charged 2021 (Image: JT/Tanjent) We had a stand to showcase our solar and battery design and install services and had a really successful weekend with lots of surveys books and quotes requested. The Fully Charged Live/Outside

The only thing worse than an energy collapse

We learned recently that one of the last coal power stations in the UK is bidding to become the first commercial nuclear fusion plant on Earth. The news should be taken with a large pinch of salt… nuclear fusion has been 25 years in the future since before I was born and it will likely

The weekend read: Energy storage potential

As solar and wind make up larger portions of the energy mix, energy storage is becoming an increasingly important piece of the puzzle in keeping electricity networks running smoothly. And as battery costs fall, new business models are emerging to increase the value of battery energy storage projects for both grid operators and project owners.

Climate change: Five things we have learned from the IPCC report

Climate change is widespread, rapid and intensifying - and it's down to us For those who live in the West, the dangers of warming our planet are no longer something distant, impacting people in faraway places. "Climate change is not a problem of the future, it's here and now and affecting every region in the

Energy market booming in Europe with EVs driving growth in the UK

The energy market in Europe is progressing faster than expected despite the impact of COVID-19. In 2020, there was a 53% increase in customer spend compared to 46% in 2019 according to a new report from energy research and consultancy company Delta-EE. In its new State of the Energy Market 2021 report, it shows that

How innovations in energy storage technology support climate goals

Blackouts due to climate change related events are becoming commonplace. Energy storage can provide grid stability and eliminate CO2 but it needs to be more economical to achieve scale. We explore the technologies that can expedite deployment, ensure safety and boost ROI supporting a faster race to zero. In September 2017, Southern Australia suffered

How Long Does It Take For Solar Panels To Pay For Themselves?

Anyone considering investing in solar panels will of course expect that it will be a while before they have paid for themselves by producing valuable electricity. How long it will take to reach breakeven depends on many factors: The initial price of the system, including full installation; the longevity of the hardware components of
