Saft, a designer and manufacturer of high-tech batteries, will supply renewable energy storage for 2500 R St., a microgrid distributed-energy community housing project to be located in Sacramento, Calif.
Pacific Housing Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, is developing the project as an affordable, progressive, sustainable and efficient 34-home community. Each home utilizes Sunverge Energy's Solar Integration System (SIS), with energy storage from Saft, to shift electrical loads, flatten peak electricity demand and maximize return on renewable energy investments, Saft says.
Saft's Synerion E lithium-ion battery will be integrated into Sunverge's SIS to capture solar energy and store it for use when needed most by the homeowner.
