Anglo-Chinese Collaboration Leads To Residential Battery Storage
In an Anglo-Chinese collaboration with BYD, the world's largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, Anesco has now installed in the UK some of the most advanced residential battery storage units currently on the market.
The installation follows a three year collaboration with BYD, which is headquartered in Pingsham in Shenzhen province. BYD is supplying Anesco with 3kWp /10kWh units which have been fully certified to G83 to ensure that they are grid compliant. The units are capable of capturing the exported electricity to the grid and saving it for home use when the solar PV is not generating. The initial installations will be undertaken free for two Housing Associations in the South West of England to once again support Anesco's focus on the fuel poor and helping to remove them from fuel poverty.
As the world's largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, BYD's mission to create safer and more environmentally friendly battery technologies has led to the development of the BYD Iron Phosphate (or "Fe") Battery. This fire-safe, completely recyclable and long-cycle technology has become the core of its clean energy platform that has expanded into automobiles, buses, trucks, utility vehicles and energy storage facilities.
Adrian Pike, Anesco's CEO, said: "If the UK is to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, while coping with growing demand, then effective and sustainable power systems need to be utilised, and the ability to store energy and manage generation to match customer need is a vital part of this."
"Our collaboration with BYD shows just what can be achieved when likeminded organisations on a global scale work collaboratively to solve and create real opportunities within the electricity market."
Anesco has forged strong relationships with manufacturers across the globe, including Europe, the US and Asia, working with teams to see how products and new innovations can best be developed and deployed for the UK market
The company provides local authorities, businesses and homeowners with a comprehensive energy service aimed at reducing their carbon emissions using audits through to recommendations, installations and capital funding plans.
Through its work Anesco has helped to take over 120,000 people out of fuel poverty. The renewable technologies it has deployed are now generating enough power for more than 150,000 homes, saving over 170,000 tonnes of carbon per year.
