The new HNU Energy Hawaiian renewable energy company, has declared the introduction of the next-generation HiVE Gen 2 Battery. This is the next-generation residential energy storage system that helps achieve the increasing demand for a reliable, resilient, and locally supported power solution. The new system provides up to 45 kilowatt-hours of energy storage in smaller and more modern packaging. This makes it a strong solution for households looking to gain independence in their energy supply in response to the increasing electricity prices and extreme weather events.
Designed to sustain full-home power loads during the night and during long-term outages. The HiVE Gen 2 is explicitly designed to operate in areas such as Hawaii, where PSPS incidents and grid interruptions are growing into a frequent occurrence. In addition to grid-tied residential systems, the system is effectively used in off-grid and remote homes where the current utility infrastructure might be limited or unreliable. Through this launch, HNU Energy strengthens its dedication to the provision of locally optimized clean energy solutions that respond to the real-world challenges of resilience.
HiVE Gen 2 proposes a ground-mounted design that is stackable to enable the system to fit perfectly in residential areas. This ensures that it is flexible enough to increase its size in the future. HiVE Gen 2 is also designed to be modular and future-ready, which is why homeowners are future-proofed to adapt to changing energy environments. Energy systems are getting increasingly connected and intelligent. Therefore, flexible storage solutions will be critical in empowering households to become active participants in energy markets, as opposed to passive consumers. Furthermore, with climate risks and grid challenges growing, solutions such as HiVE Gen 2 will become the essential elements of the modern residential energy infrastructure.
