This week we were at Solar & Storage, the UK’s annual trade event for the sector. It offered a moment to reflect on how much has changed in the UK renewables landscape over the past year, particularly in behind-the-meter solar energy storage. Here, our Founder Joe Warren gives us his thoughts on the progress made and future outlook for solar storage.

We’re committed to helping people store energy in their homes so they have green, cheap energy as and when they want it. But how do you reduce unnecessary heat loss in listed and period properties?

With the Paris 2024 Olympics kicking off today, it is set to be the greenest Games yet. Paris 2024 aims to reduce the carbon footprint by 50% compared to previous Games, bringing it down to 1.5 metric tons. They’re focusing on renewable energy, waste reduction, and promoting plant-based diets​.

Written by Joe Warren, Powervault Founder I first got interested in renewable energy more than twenty years ago when I was looking after computer datacentres.  It’s fair to say we were using a lot of electricity keeping the computers running and keeping them cool.  

It’s ten years since we launched our first energy storage battery the G100, and it’s interesting to consider how the product has changed since then – and what’s stayed the same. Here, our Founder Joe looks back on the evolution.

Solar battery safety is critically important and central to the development of our solar batteries.

At this time of year my thoughts turn to Intersolar, a large solar and storage trade show, which happens in Munich every year.  Intersolar is huge!

While over 1.3 million homes have embraced solar power, a significant “technology gap” remains, meaning many are not maximising the possible cost savings and carbon reduction potential due to a large proportion of the energy generated being exported to the grid. This is where solutions like Powervault’s intelligent battery storage and energy management system SMARTSTOR™ come into play.
