storage

The Energy and Climate Change select committee (ECC) has used its final report to add to growing pressure on government to address the regulatory barriers holding back greater deployment of storage technologies.

With over 30 companies exhibiting battery products or espousing the technology to the thousands of visitors in attendance, storage was always going to play a major role at last week’s SEUK | Clean Energy Live exhibition. David Pratt summarises the view from the show floor with regards the UK’s burgeoning storage market.

A new report has estimated that when combined with greater integration of batteries, the intermittency of solar generation could provide a net benefit to the grid, removing one of the key criticisms of wider adoption of the technology.

The minister for energy and intellectual property delivered one of her first speeches to industry at Solar Energy UK | Clean Energy Live 2016 on Wednesday 5 October after being appointed just a few months ago.

Solarwatt has continued its push into the UK market by appointing Wind & Sun as its distribution partner.

CCL Components has developed its first product in time for Clean Energy Live, which will see the distributor launch the Powerplus portable hybrid power system for the off-grid energy market.

Solar Energy UK | Clean Energy Live 2016 will open its doors at 9am tomorrow morning and at this very moment, the final touches are being made to the show floor.

The annual Solar Power Portal and Clean Energy Awards, sponsored by Trina Solar, takes place this Wednesday evening and Michael Fereday, customer solutions manager at Rexel Energy Solutions, which has sponsored this year’s Residential Energy Storage category, says this year’s event is important to recognise companies at the forefront of the industry’s evolution.

Electricity storage and energy efficiency product manufacturer, Powervault, has collaborated with Solar Power Portal to conduct a survey of the electricity storage market in the UK.

Solarwatt has continued its push into the UK market by appointing Wind & Sun as its distribution partner, which will offer Solarwatt’s advanced renewable-energy generation and management systems to installers across the country.
