Safety in Energy Storage

Energy storage is playing a vital role in accelerating the adoption of renewable energy and providing beneficial grid and community resilience. As we scale up deployments of solar and wind energy generation, we will need increasing amounts of batteries alongside in order to truly unleash clean, low-cost energy.

Adoption of battery storage systems has been slower than renewable generation for a few reasons, one being concerns of fire safety. An unfortunate narrative surrounding battery storage is its propensity to catch fire. While some batteries have earned a bad reputation it is important to not only distinguish why certain batteries are prone to fires but also recognize that not all batteries share this trait.

For battery storage manufacturers like Blue Planet Energy, ensuring battery storage systems are built on a foundation of safety is paramount. For installers, there is peace of mind when working with batteries proven to reduce or eliminate fire risks.
