SimpliPhi signs deal to bring ferrous batteries to the UK
SimpliPhi batteries have already been installed in a residential project in Winchester, UK, where Streamline is based. Excess energy generated by the Winchester home’s rooftop solar array is stored by two SimpliPhi 3.4 kWh batteries, which are installed under the home’s main staircase.
“We are delighted to expand into the U.K. and beyond with Streamline Power, and that our PHI batteries were chosen by the Winchester family over other Lithium chemistries available in the market,” said Catherine Von Burg, CEO of SimpliPhi. “This small installation showcases big implications – by removing the hazardous element cobalt from our battery chemistry, we are able to provide safe storage solutions that do not pose the risk of thermal runaway and fires. Not only does this mean the PHI batteries can be safely installed in small unventilated spaces, such as a closet inside the home, but they create efficient, powerful and long term solutions that de-risk the energy storage proposition overall. People should not have to chose between their own safety and access to power, much less store clean solar energy in toxic and hazardous batteries.”
The California-based company started life in 2002 as LibertyPak/Optimized Energy Storage making the LFP cells and battery management systems, and started expanding into Australia in 2015. Streamline is part of Solar PV Partners and supplies a range of on and off-grid solar and storage and diesel replacement systems and is SimpliPhi’s first deal in Europe.
“We researched the energy storage market to find the highest performing, longest life and safest Lithium battery made today and identified SimpliPhi Power as the ideal solution,” said Dennis Garrison, managing director of Streamline Ppower. “SimpliPhi Power has proven its performance in some of the harshest environments and use-cases on earth, will not catch fire, is non-toxic, requires no maintenance and lasts longer than any other battery. We have already had very high demand for SimpliPhi energy storage systems in universities and commercial properties, as well as in residential.”
