storage
Why does investing in energy storage at the same time as renewable products such as solar or air source heat pumps hold the key to net zero emissions? Carlton Cummins, co-founder and chief technical officer at clean technology firm Aceleron explains the benefits.

The success of the UK battery industry will be vital to meet the significant potential demand in the automotive, oil & gas and energy storage markets.
The setting up of Solarwatt Technologies Ltd reflects strong ambitions in the UK market and a desire to better serve growing demand for renewable energy. To achieve this, the German PV systems provider is establishing a UK office and warehouse in Surrey, as well as making some key personnel changes, including the appointment of Daniel Adamsbaum to Solarwatt Technologies as sales manager for the North.
The partnership will provide Good Energy’s domestic customers with the opportunity to generate and store their own renewable electricity at home and save money by integrating green technology with a trusted installer.
The 15-year performance-based contract will see the implementation of a self-funding fully integrated energy solution, which includes conversion from the existing steam heating system to a Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) distribution infrastructure. This will be supplied by a modern, highly efficient, gas-fired combined heat and power unit, complete with a selective catalytic reduction system, LTHW boilers and solar photovoltaic arrays.
The firm received significant backing in a two-week public vote which decided the final five finalists for the Manufacturing Innovator of the Year award in the 2021 Innovation Awards.
In July last year, ministers passed secondary legislation to allow battery storage to bypass the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project process in Britain. This relaxing of planning legislation allowed for storage projects above 50MW in England and 350MW in Wales to proceed without approval through the national planning regime.
At the recent Solar & Storage 2020 live conference (2-4 Dec), one point that was consistently raised in the webinars was the critical role installers play in the road to net zero.
