(REPOST: PV-Tech)Tesla reported another major decline in its residential solar installations for the fourth quarter of 2017, while a supply shortage in its energy storage system ‘Powerwall’ has created a customer backlog of solar and storage installs of more than one year.
(REPOST: The Energyst)A consortium has secured £3m funding to see how electric vehicles can deliver demand-side response and battery storage. The aim is to work out whether EVs can help balance the power system.
(REPOST: Energy Storage News)The biggest market segment for electrical storage remains the utility-scale battery storage market (i.e. front-of-meter), accounting for 60% of total capacities installed in 2015 and still commanding 55% of the overall stationary battery market in 2017. Yet from year-to-year it was always a different country where the majority of battery capacity added
(REPOST: edie)Arenko has invested in the American firm’s 41MW battery energy storage system, and will use advanced control technologies to provide on-demand electricity equivalent to approximately 100,000 UK homes.
We are often asked how big a home battery should be to get the best value for money.
(REPOST: CNN)Though renewable energy is on the rise, a significant challenge has always been finding ways to store it on days when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow. In the small Bavarian town of Wildpoldsreid, technology company Sonnen is creating a battery that not only stores residential renewable energy, but allows users
(REPOST: BBCNews)The two-megawatt-hour battery is part of a renewable energy network in a 500-home development in the Trent Basin.
(REPOST: NetworksOnline)The funding, which has been announced by the Faraday Institution, will see four UK-based consortia conduct application-inspired research aimed at overcoming battery challenges to accelerate the electric vehicle (EV) revolution.
