  • SoNick batteries perform outstandingly even in one of the hottest regions of the Earth

    #SMC batteries perform outstandingly even in one of the hottest regions of the Earth!As part of a joint activity with the end user, 32 modules of SMC batteries (272kWh) installed outdoor in Saudi Arabia have been constantly monitored during the summer period.Background:👉July 2020-December 2021: batteries remained at stock for 17 months before the installation (no refresh charge necessary).👉December…

  • Tesla Victorian big battery fire

    Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for being difficult to put out once they have caught fire. Lithium-ion batteries often reignite once they have caught fire and the fire has been put out. It is even more difficult for fire fighters in that they can’t use water or any other suppression methods to extinguish a lithium-ion battery…

  • MIGROS gets the largest salt battery storage facility in Switzerland

    This installation is a 540 kWh salt battery storage system and now stands in the basement of MIGROS Schlieren/ZH. The molten salt batteries are 620V SoNick batteries supplied by FZSoNick

  • Not all batteries are equal

    One of the most common questions is what battery is best for my needs. There is a lack of knowledge and a great amount of misinformation in the battery storage industry. It is critical to do your own homework and not just believe what salesman / installers are telling you as they are often restrained…

  • Protect Yourself from power outages from wind and storm damage

    Windy winter weather tends to bring trees down on power lines, cutting off your power supply as many people in Victoria have discovered recently. Many people in Gippsland and the Dandenongs are still without power a week after the storm that raged across Victoria on 9th June. For many people the need to protect themselves…

  • Renewable Energy Park at Yarram Sawmill

    GridEdge is currently involved in a project to create a Renewable Energy Park at the Radial Timbers Sawmill in Yarram. The project will establish a “Bioenergy Cell” that incorporates the GridEdge SoNick Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and a Pyrolysis Unit. Stage 1 will be the installation of 2 x 100kW solar & 2 x…

  • Battery safety and fire risk

    When installing energy storage batteries more people are becoming aware or the risks associated with batteries that have a possibility of going into thermal runaway.

  • Protect Yourself from bushfire power outages

    During bushfires power is often lost to many areas and sometimes is not returned for days or weeks at a time. At these times communities often have to rely on generators, especially if, as in the devastating 2019-2020 Australian bushfires roads are cut off to complete communities for extended periods of time. Strong winds also…

  • Not all battery inverters are equal

    With the installation of energy storage systems most people look at the battery and concentrate on that but in reality the battery inverter is an integral part of any energy storage system and will dictate much of the energy storage systems operations. Often when an energy storage system isn’t working properly the fault lies with…

  • Salt batteries – the only chemistry UL9540A certified for safety

    More and more people are recognising that one of the major issues with energy storage batteries are the dangers with fires and explosions particularly associated with thermal runaway (self-sustaining fires). This has become particularly relevant as people are considering installing the many lithium ion battery technologies in their houses or businesses and are becoming aware…
