Northwest Energy Storage, the master distributor of Solar-One® batteries welcomes you to the Solar-One web site. Here you will find valuable information on this high-performance battery designed specifically for Renewable Energy. Like many other technological breakthroughs, H uP (High Utilization Positive) was created in response to another need. Patented in 1982, its original objective was to meet tough new environmental standards, and help eliminate lead dust from the battery manufacturing plant. But it was discovered during initial testing that HuP also exhibited cycling capabilities well in excess of conventional batteries. These impressive findings led to HuP being selected for use at the Southern California Edison Company's Chino power facility in 1987. Since going on line, the 10 megawatt HuP system has proven to be 100% reliable meeting daily deep cycle requirements.This continued enhanced performance led engineers at Enersys Inc. to develop HuP for yet another application: motive power. In 1991, H uP proved its mettle under extreme conditions in Operation Desert Storm, where it was used in materials handling vehicles delivering 10.5 million tons of supplies and equipment to 525,000 troops.The next step in the evolution process was into Renewable Energy service where the Solar-One battery with HuP technology has been powering off grid homes for over 11 years while being charged from clean Energy produced by Solar Modules that turn sunlight in to electricity, Wind machines that tap a valuable resource or Micro Hydro generators that convert falling water into usable energy. |
