Installing lithium-ion battery to provide energy during peak demand

PROBLEM  As Hawaii adds more solar power, new turn-key technologies are needed to ensure grid reliability and efficiency.

SOLUTION  HNU Energy will install a 1-MWh lithium-ion battery on Maui to smooth the short-term variability of solar and to supply energy in the evening during peak demand, enabling more renewable energy to come online.
