The Art Of Canning
A Red Dwarf
Long Duration Electricity Storage in Molten Silicon
to keep Renewables available around the clock
We develop disruptive electricity storage technology that can turn intermittent renewable energies into fully dispatchable electricity sources
In other words, they can be used anytime, regardless of the sun shining or the wind blowing, and this is done as cheaply as with fossil-fueled or nuclear power plants.
We turn electricity into heat and store it in molten silicon (1410°C). Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the second with the highest latent heat of fusion, which makes it incredibly cheap and energy dense.
Then, when power is needed again, we convert it back to electricity using thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells, similar to PV cells but tuned to convert the infrared emission of a 1410°C radiant source efficiently. Energy Storage in Molten Silicon
As simple as canning the power of a red dwarf star!
Our Technology
Here’s Why!
Extremely
Low-cost
Can provide energy-related
CAPEX under $10/kWh thus
enabling a 100% Renewable
Energy paradigm
No Material
Shortage
Based on plentiful, widely
found materials. Silicon is
the 2nd most abundant
on the Earth's crust
Highest
Energy
Density
Maximum energy in the
least weight and volume.
Well above other storage
technologies
Silent
Operation
All energy conversion is
electric & electronic, hence,
no noisy moving parts
wearing out
Flexible sizing
and modular
Charge and discharge power
sized independently. 10-100 hrs
designs fit modularly in
shipping containers
