Round-trip efficiency of alternative storage technologies is the standout metric for assessing their potential versus lithium-ion.

The US energy storage market’s rapid growth is going to lead to scrambles for available battery supply, leading many to consider alternative technologies to lithium-ion.

British energy storage company OXIS has claimed that the advent of economically viable solar PV and energy storage technology represents a paradigm shift in developing countries.

A 1MWh battery developed by US manufacturer Aquion Energy and installed at a private estate in Hawaii will allow the area’s residents to meet almost all of their electricity demand with power generated from a connected solar array.
