    • The future of renewable energy is storage

      The large pipeline of renewables will need to be supported by integrated battery solutions to provide reliable and dispatchable renewables under extreme weather conditions, flexibly response energy demands and shave peak loads to avoid demand charge. Energy storage systems will help us move away from fossil fuels, towards global decarbonization and a 100% renewable energy future. With the lithium-ion prices decline by 80% from 2010 to 2018, energy storage project deployments continue to be a rapidly evolving.
