EU confirms penalties for greenwashing! “The European Commission tabled new legislation on Wednesday (22 March) to tackle misleading environmental claims by introducing penalties against greenwashing and tighter rules for the approval of new ecolabels. The proposed Green Claims Directive aims to reduce greenwashing and enable consumers to make informed purchasing decisions based on reliable information...Continue Reading
The European Commission proposed rules on Wednesday that would oblige producers to offer repairs for a product for between five and ten years after it was sold – regardless of whether or not the legal guarantee is still valid. At 247.energy we offer a 10-year non-prorated warranty on all our industrial and residential energy storage solutions. Because longer...Continue Reading
Wishing you all a happy “world water day”. Hum happy… not really. Right now, we are seriously off-track to meet Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030. Billions of people and countless schools, businesses, healthcare centres, farms and factories don’t have the safe water and toilets they need. Remember: approximately 2.2 million...Continue Reading
What are supercapacitors and why not use them instead of batteries? Supercapacitors have several advantages over batteries (eg. L-Ion): they (dis)charge far faster, have a longer lifetime and are non-flammable. And thanks to recent innovations they can also store sufficient amounts of energy per kg to be used as ‘batteries’. 247 Energy’s SuperCap-based energy storage is...Continue Reading
Charge speed is our focus in this “watt (what) to look for when selecting your professional energy storage”. The C-rate is the unit used to measure the speed at which a battery is fully charged or discharged. Eg. charging at a C-rate of 1C means that the battery is charged from 0-100% in 1 hour. A...Continue Reading
Warranty conditions are our focus in this “watt (what) to look for when selecting your professional energy storage”. Warranty conditions on energy storage can range from 5 to 10 years. However often it is pro-rated from 100% at the start of year 1 to 50-60% at end of the warranty period. This is often also linked...Continue Reading
In our “watt (what) to look for when selecting your professional energy storage”, we shed a light on your ROI. ROI (return on investment) is what matters if you invest in energy storage to trade or help stabilize the energy grid. There is more to determining the ROI of your energy storage infrastructure than just your...Continue Reading
In our “watt (what) to look for when selecting your professional energy storage”, we shed a light on your safety. Thermal runaway is a chain reaction within a battery cell that can be very difficult to stop once it has started. It happens when a battery’s internal temperature rises to the degree where a chemical reaction...Continue Reading
In our “watt (what) to look for when selecting your professional energy storage” today we shed a light on power density. The battery’s ability to store energy is measured by its energy density. i.e., a battery with a high energy density can store a lot of energy. The battery’s capacity to absorb and deliver electricity is referred...Continue Reading
