Energy Storage is undertaking rapid advancements and growth. Give us an idea on how your company and product is being utilized now for energy storage.
Rolls flooded and sealed deep cycle batteries have been used for energy storage in Renewable Energy applications for decades. Since the inception of off-grid applications, deep cycle lead-acid batteries have been repurposed from various industries (ex: industrial equipment, marine and rail). We continue to see increased demand for these models for use in residential systems as well as larger commercial and micro-grid installations as they offer a low cost/kwh when comparing to alternative complex battery technologies requiring higher manufacturing costs. Our batteries are used in village electrification projects as well as diesel generator replacement in schools, hospitals as well as micro-grid systems powering small communities in many remote sites and developing countries.
What are you projecting for 2020? Do you see more growth or turmoil ahead for solar and the economy?
Despite political setbacks in some regions, we anticipate continued growth as our products are distributed to various markets worldwide.
Do you think the solar industry is in a good position to grow through what may be a bumpy next few years?
A growing number of well-organized associations and groups are working diligently in North America to educate and promote solar by showcasing the key benefits and savings. In addition, this growing industry has one of the highest levels of new job opportunities, covering a variety of positions, which we feel will continue to draw attention and have a positive impact.
