Vatrer Power launches lithium iron phosphate storage system for residential, commercial applications
The Chinese manufacturer said its new all-in-one storage system has a nominal voltage of 51.2 V and a capacity of 100 Ah. It also features a built-in 5 kW inverter and an RS485 communication interface for real-time monitoring.
Offgrid PV-driven hydrogen vs. standalone solar-plus-storage
A German research team has compared the economic performance of an offgrid PV-electrolyser-fuel cell system with that of a standalone solar-plus-storage counterpart in a building in Niger. Its analysis showed that decentralized PV-driven hydrogen could achieve considerable lower levelized cost of energy and levelized cost of storage than the PV-battery system, with these values reaching €0.12 ($13.1)/kWh and €0.35/kWh, respectively.
