A modular system for storing energy that can be used in large buildings.
SolarLEAF is a way to store energy that connects directly to solar panels and is put in place underneath them. This panel-level design is made possible by an advanced thermal management system that passively keeps the batteries at the best temperature for working. The solution directly deals with the fact that the cost of energy storage installations can vary a lot. Some of these are permits, connections, getting customers, starting a project, EPC, and other project overheads. Especially for commercial installations between 50 kWh and 1 MWh, there isn’t always a place to put the energy storage. Yota talks directly about this problem. The installation goes along with the solar installation, so solar installers don’t need to learn much more, and it gives them a standard way to deploy energy storage.
Positive facts about SolarLEAF Energy Storage
A 1kWh unit, weighing 50lbs and easily able to be installed by a single person
Each unit can input up to 2 x 400W solar panels and enable a DC ratio of 2+ on the roof
Potential to displace 5Gt of CO2 by 2050
Shifts solar energy to be consumed during periods when carbon dioxide content is 5X greater
Less than 5 year payback and as little as 3 years in some key markets
As much as 70% cheaper over typical commercial energy storage installations
Targeting a $300/kWh total installed price within 3 years
