Leclanché to supply lithium titanate batteries for Swiss energy storage project
Leclanché is to supply 500kWh of lithium titanate (LTO) batteries to store electricity at a 2MW solar PV park in Switzerland from next year.
The Swiss firm's batteries form part of a 2m Swiss franc ($2.2m) research project led by the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) to study storing solar energy and subsequently be able to distribute it in an optimal way at times of peak consumption during the day, often called ‘time-shifting’.
