Researchers from Harvard University’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a cheap, non-toxic flow battery for wind and solar power storage that can withstand over a decade of full charge-discharge cycles.
There would be few battery manufacturers that have racked up as many accolades in such a short time as Germany’s Sonnen – and they’ve just added another.
The future of battery storage looks promising given the impending increase in capacity to 250GW by 2030, according to the latest report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
The threat of heatwave related blackouts in Australia is another reason households are contemplating increased energy independence through the installation of solar and battery systems.
