Our energy storage modules feature SIRUS technology which provides a superior option when compared to traditional electrochemial storage technologies such as Li-ion, LiFePo, and Lead Acid. The units operate without any required HVAC considerations, last for decades, and are maintenance free. This provides a safer and less costly alternative to energy storage.
