Green Charge and Flextronics to Deploy Intelligent Energy Storage

February 03, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

Green Charge Networks, Inc. has entered into a partnership with Flextronics to provide "on-demand" manufacturing of Green Charge's GreenStation intelligent energy storage system. The Li-ion-based GreenStation 2.0 features a round-trop energy efficiency of 88.4% minimum and 94% average. It provides a maximum three-phase output of 37A per phase at 480V. The 30kW unit has a discharge capacity of 15kW for 2 hours and is capable of being fully charged and discharged at least once per day. With a rated operating temperature range of -10 to +45 degrees C, the units weigh 1600 pounds and measure 87.5" x 24" x 26.5".

California's investor-owned utilities are seeking to deploy energy storage solutions at an accelerated rate. That includes energy storage capacity installed "behind the meter" on-site at commercial and industrial companies, a mid-tier market sector that Green Charge is pioneering with its GreenStation intelligent energy storage solution. GreenStation deployments are helping businesses, schools, universities, and municipalities significantly reduce their monthly energy bills while improving the efficiency, reliability, and resiliency of the electricity grid.

"Flextronics is proud to be Green Charge's manufacturing partner, helping them to better meet the demands of their growing customer base," said Scott Graybeal, vice president, energy at Flextronics. "Energy storage technology is rapidly evolving and we are thrilled to help companies like Green Charge with our advanced innovative solutions and platform offerings that increase their competitiveness and decrease their time to market."

"Green Charge has developed a leading-edge intelligent energy storage solution that not only benefits our customers, but helps pave the way towards a sustainable electric grid infrastructure of the future," said Vic Shao, CEO and Founder at Green Charge Networks. "Partnering with Flextronics, we're thrilled to contribute to the revitalization of manufacturing in the U.S."
