What is the VisBlue Battery Solution?
VisBlue offers a cutting-edge energy storage system based on a patented vanadium redox flow battery. This innovative battery is designed with sustainability and practicality in mind. It’s made up of parts that are easy to recycle and built for disassembly, meaning 99% of the battery is recyclable. The core of the system is a vanadium-based electrolyte solution that is non-degradable and retains its value well beyond the battery’s lifespan. When components like the cell stack or pumps need replacement after years of use, the fluids can be reused or sold as raw materials. This makes VisBlue’s battery not just a storage solution, but a truly green and circular product.
Main Benefits of VisBlue Batteries
VisBlue batteries bring a lot to the table, especially when it comes to longevity, safety, and adaptability. Here are some key figures and facts that highlight why this technology stands out:
- Green: 99% recyclable materials, including plastics, composites, and electrolyte fluids.
- Long Lifetime: Designed to last 20+ years, with vanadium electrolyte that never wears out.
- Safe: Cannot burn or explode; contains 80-85% water in the electrolyte, making it non-flammable.
- Scalable: Batteries can be customized to fit exact energy needs, whether for small or large applications.
Why Choose Solar Energy?
The sun is the ultimate energy source, delivering approximately 6,000 times more energy to Earth than humanity currently uses. Solar energy is green, renewable, and a crucial alternative to fossil fuels like coal and gas, which emit uncontrollable amounts of CO2 and disrupt the planet’s natural balance. Switching to solar means embracing a cleaner, more sustainable future. It’s not just smart—it’s necessary.
Why Wind Energy Matters
Wind energy has been gaining momentum worldwide, especially in places like Denmark, where it accounted for 40% of energy production in 2018. Like solar, wind power is a green alternative that helps reduce CO2 emissions. It’s a structural solution that supports the transition away from polluting energy sources and toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape.
Why Use a Battery Storage System?
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are fantastic, but they come with a catch: sometimes they produce more energy than needed. Excess energy often gets sold back to the grid at low tariffs, which isn’t ideal. That’s where VisBlue’s battery solution shines. It stores surplus energy so it can be used later—when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. This means more efficient use of renewable energy, less waste, and better savings over time.

Understanding Redox Flow Batteries and Energy Units
A redox flow battery works differently from conventional batteries. It stores energy in two large tanks filled with liquid electrolytes, which allows for easy scalability and a longer lifespan—often exceeding 20 years. Plus, it’s 99% recyclable and non-flammable. When talking about electricity, kWh (kilowatt-hours) is the unit that measures actual consumption, while kW indicates power capacity. For proper system design, data on hourly electricity consumption and production over a full year is essential to optimize battery use and maximize efficiency.
