Titan System announced for Residential Solar Systems in Australia
Aquion Energy, Inc., manufacturer of Aspen saltwater batteries and energy storage systems, and Fusion Power Systems, a leading Australian power and energy systems integrator, have announced Titan SmartStorage, a fully integrated solar energy storage solution for residential applications in Australia. The Titan SmartStorage product will be unveiled today at the All-Energy 2016 conference in Melbourne, Australia, and is now available to order.Fusion’s Titan SmartStorage is Australia’s first fully integrated, safe, and easy-to-install residential solar energy storage system. The system combines clean and cost-effective Aquion Energy Aspen saltwater batteries with an Australian-made, purpose-built inverter and charge controller, designed and built to withstand Australian conditions.
Titan SmartStorage provides energy storage that outperforms traditional battery systems and is ideal for off-grid applications, solar self-consumption, and storing solar energy for nighttime use. The systems are modular and scalable for maximum flexibility. Fusion energy storage systems are free of toxic chemicals, 100% recyclable, noncombustible, and completely fire-safe.
“We’re excited to see our batteries incorporated into an off-the-shelf storage solution for energy storage customers in Australia,” said Tim Poor, Aquion Energy Chief Commercial Officer. “Solar self-consumption is a perfect application for our batteries, and the Titan product makes it easy for installers to deploy a fully integrated system to end users, both for new solar installations and as a retrofit for existing systems. Australian homeowners who install Titan can sleep well at night knowing that the Aquion batteries used in Titan are the safest and most environmentally friendly batteries in the world.”
“We are extremely proud of the release of the Titan SmartStorage product line, powered by Aquion’s saltwater-based batteries,” said Nathaniel Allen, Fusion Power Systems Chief Operating Officer. Aquion has played an important role in the world’s second largest residential storage project and more recently replaced lead-gel battery technology at Lady Island Resort off the coast of Queensland. Our choice was clear for the Titan product line – these systems are powered by the safest battery in the world. They provide long discharge cycles and are designed specifically to meet the needs of the Australian market.”Built on Aquion’s unique environmentally friendly saltwater-based Aqueous Hybrid Ion (AHI™) chemistry, Aspen batteries are clean, sustainable, and long-lasting. The batteries are designed for daily deep cycling, can operate at high ambient temperatures, and do not degrade from partial state of charge cycling, making them ideal for residential solar applications. Aspen batteries are the first and only batteries in the world to be Cradle to Cradle Certified™, an esteemed quality mark for products made from sustainable materials and manufacturing processes.
