Using organic compounds, Jolt Energy Storage makes flow batteries with the same large-scale storage capabilities as lithium-ion, but safer, more efficient, and less expensive. Learn more at Jolt’s website.
Icarus, RT creates a hybrid solar-thermal photovoltaic system that stores and uses leftover “waste heat” from solar panels to generate power on demand. This significantly increases power output per panel, and lowers cost per kilowatt. Learn more at the Icarus website.
BlueDot Photonics is developing a cost-effective and scalable manufacturing process to create solar panels using perovskite materials, which can increase solar panel output by at least 10 percent. Learn more at the Blue Dot Photonics website.
Thanks to a concept called battery-boosted charging, Intertie’s charging station (called the EV ChargePod) is a technology that can offer both cost and convenience.
GreenTechMedia: Led by a Tesla alum, the California startup looks to tap growing demand for solar and storage in key markets of California and Hawaii.
With EV technology rapidly evolving, how do fleet managers plan a transition?
Microgrid Labs wants to make those decisions easier. The company specializes in software for fleet electrification and microgrid development, and has been at the cutting edge of the changing grid since its founding.
The electrical panel was due for an upgrade. An increasing number of homes are accelerating the transition to a clean-energy future with on-site solar and battery, and homes themselves are getting smarter.
The Electrical Panel that Makes Solar and Storage Simpler and Cheaper to Install April 9, 2020 Homeowners don’t think much about their electrical panel until the power goes out. But the device plays a critical role in our day to day lives, taking in energy from the grid and distributing it out to different rooms…
“We’re your insurance policy against battery fires,” said Al-Hallaj. “In the development of the EV industry, this is a critically important point. Fires at fast-charging stations could kill this industry, if their effects caused EVs to be perceived as unsafe.”
Feasible and Microgrid Labs – both Electric Vehicle focused technologies – will be presenting to a panel of expert judges at the 2020 IGF on April 29, 2020.
