KACO new energy Launches Powador-gridsave; with Batteries Supplied by Panasonic

July 02, 2012 by Jeff Shepard

KACO new energy announced the new energy storage and management system Powador-gridsave. The compact-size system combines inverter, battery charging unit, storage and an intelligent management system in one case, including all dc- and ac-wiring.

KACO new energy is partnering with Panasonic, which provides the lithium-ion battery modules with a capacity of 1.35 kWh each – up to five modules can be fitted into the case. With a fully-fitted case, the Powador-gridsave can thus achieve a capacity of 6.75 kWh.

For future projects, KACO has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Smart Energy Systems BU of SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., a group company of Panasonic. The MoU specifies delivery quantities and volumes up until 2015 that are required to guarantee the timely delivery of the Powador-gridsave. Shipping will start in autumn 2012.
