Project Description
Solo Energy is an innovative Irish start up with a 100%- renewable energy supplier business model that revolves around the deployment of a distributed demand-side energy storage network to shift energy supply to customers from periods of peak demand and peak wholesale energy price, to periods of peak renewable generation and low wholesale energy price. Solo plan to deploy fully financed energy storage systems to each new customer site by late 2016 and as a precursor to physical deployment, will undertake the FlexiGrid Project. The FlexiGrid Project involves research to model the impact of a storage network on existing and future grid infrastructure using Power Systems analysis software coupled with physical testing of system components in a lab micro-grid.
