Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production.
The lack of energy storage is what contributes to today's blackouts in our large integrated grids. If these grids had energy storage in place, we would most likely not see the ripple effect that propagates when a localized outage occurs.

Our Solution
With localized energy storage, you no longer need to be dependent on a grid to keep your power going when the grid fails. We offer scalable solutions to provide you energy for your chosen duration. Anything from hours to months.
TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL ENERGY STORAGE
BATTERYTraditional batteries are used in residential applications today and with the introduction of lithium ion batteries, there is a more realistic approach to this. These are reliable, but expensive. They also have a lifespan of only about 10 years and they are not suitable for long term energy storage as the charge dissipates over time. Lithium extraction also harms the soil and causes air contamination. This devalues their ability to be a green solution.

HYDROGENHydrogen is the most abundant element in the known universe which means its practically limitless. Hydrogen has the highest energy per unit of mass of any fuel, which allows it to produce efficient energy. It is able to be indefinitely stored without any energy loss or degradation of performance. When hydrogen is created with renewable energy sources, this becomes one of the most green solutions available today for energy storage.
