A great company to work with if you ever get the chance.

Looking forward to presenting at the Open Day with Nuno and the rest of the Energy Starter cohort. Thanks EDP once again for putting on such an amazing event, it has been one of our best start-up experiences in this whole journey.

A 13 hour Day One in the books, thank goodness we only had a 2 hour time difference to deal with! EDP are running an incredibly well planned out and executed Bootcamp. From the team building exercises and briefings through to a conceptual framework for maximising EDP and start-up value in the pilot development sessions their work and thought leadership has been first class. Looking forward to Day Two, once I find some caffeine!

We are excited to announce our SolarBoost technology has been selected as a winner in the 8th annual Energy Starter programme, a global innovation initiative created by EDP an energy gentailer with over 9 million customers in 28 countries. SolarBoost, is the world’s first grid-scale, behind the meter (DC coupled) battery that can increase the power output of solar panels by up to 15% and net profits by up to 30% for less than the cost of existing batteries. The programme showcases the most promising new renewable energy technologies from around the world and is dedicated to fostering solutions to shape the electrical grids of the future. Each year EDP selects 8-12 technologies for paid pilot programmes with successful pilots being evaluated for rollout to EDP’s asset base. By 2026 EDP will have 9.4GW of solar and 500MW of energy storage and aims to be 100% renewable by 2030. The programme starts with a Bootcamp in Singapore this week and concludes with an Open Day on Thursday 18 April at 3.30 AEST. The event will be live streamed and you can register here to view: https://lnkd.in/e7JS-_gB For more information visit us at www.gridstore.energy. #batteries #energystorage #renewableenergy #greentech #energystarter #edp #startups #venturecapital

SolarBoost is a 2.7kWh to 8kWh battery wired in parallel under each solar panel allowing solar panels to produce more power than the lowest producing panel, unlike current solar panels. The additional power is saved in the battery rather than being wasted as heat in the lower producing panels, saving up to 15% additional power and increasing net profit by up to 30% for the price as a grid scale battery. SolarBoost requires no additional approvals or infrastructure, can be retrofitted in less than 2 mins, enables swap and go maintenance, its mesh networked controller enables real time monitoring of each individual solar panel and can start charging as soon as a string has been installed. SolarBoost is the only product in the world to solve the issue of negative electricity prices and solar panel power imbalances simultaneously.
