ENERGY STORAGE

WHAT IS IT?

Energy storage is simply a method that stores electricity that is collected from an energy generation source and comes in many forms, technologies, and processes ranging from lithium-ion batteries to fly-wheel technology.

VOLTA's customers are the residential homeowners and small business owners, and they are the behind-the-meter end users who are considered to be on the edge of the grid. For that segment of consumers, batteries are typically the best solution at scale for solar and backup power applications.  We are ready to help you determine if battery storage is right for you!

BATTERY POWER

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Batteries are used to store incoming electricity that has been aggregated from such sources such as the utility grid, photovoltaic (PV) solar power or other renewable energy generation resources.  Stored power can then be discharged to specific loads or whole applications at other designated time intervals for:

                                   • Emergency backup power,

                                   • Peak shifting,

                                   • Load allocation,

                                   • Demand response, etc.

Battery storage is the leading form of energy storage and varies in chemistries such as lead acid, nickel metal hydride, and lithium-ion. Most chemistries behave differently due to their intrinsic nature in capacity, density, and cycle life as well as other physical factors. Each has value and are appropriate for a range of jobs depending on the objective(s) for which the batteries are being employed.
