Hithium’s advantages on the PCS flexible solution
In the roundtable, Neil Bradshaw mentioned Hithium’s technical compatibility with major suppliers of power conversion systems. As a manufacturer of cells, battery modules, and full DC-side solutions, Hithium works with PCS suppliers on systems and projects onsite. Hithium manufactures and works with a range of inverter-makers to confirm that its battery products match well with their products. Neil stated, “Hithium's compatibility with major suppliers of inverters allows customers and investors to pre-select matching PCS for their projects. PCS supplier flexibility provides customers with cost-effective, space-saving, and integration services.”
“Just BESS” Strategy achieves in technology and product innovations
“While some companies offer only standard products, we tailor our services with market needs. Customizing is expensive, but we believe in the value of doing that,” Neil said. As the pace of global energy transition accelerates, energy storage technology, as a key technology to support the large-scale application of renewable energy, is facing unprecedented development opportunities. Neil introduced Hithium’s products that have diverged from EV due to the company’s revolutionary advancements in battery technology. These advancements include the 280Ah battery cell, the first excellent SEI films lead to ultra-long-lasting batteries, and the latest 314Ah battery cell, created to offer cost optimization and 11,000 cycles. The “Just BESS” strategy is solely focused on stationary energy storage and providing customers with reliable, cost-effective energy storage products and solutions. Hithium delivered more than 200 energy storage projects with total shipment of over 20 GWh and aims to reach 135 GWh of production capacity only for stationary batteries by the end of 2025. Just recently, Hithium was listed as global Tier 1 energy storage manufacturer in the BNEF 2024 Q1 and Q2 reports, and ranks in 2023’s Top 5 for global BESS shipments within its first year on the world stage.
