A consortium of four British energy companies is working to develop safe, lightweight and robust solar energy storage systems for the military.
Lincad, Oxis Energy, Pure Wafer and Solutronic have pooled their expertise to produce solar energy storage systems that incorporate leading edge solar panels, state of the art electronics and next gen lithium sulphur battery technology.
"This development will revolutionise energy costs for the military around the world," said Lincad's ceo Brian Soden. "It is indisputable that the cost of fuel for defence continues to escalate. Governments are keen to find alternatives and solar energy will play a significant part in bringing down the cost."
Lincad is offering its expertise in designing battery systems for the project, while the lithium sulphur cell technology will come from Oxis.
Pure Wafer will contribute a rugged, high efficiency military solar panel that, during daylight hours can power electrical equipment and charge the lithium sulphur batteries. State of the art electronics from Solutronic will connect the solar panels, batteries and equipment to power.
Huw Hampson-Jones, ceo of Oxis, commented: "Combining our expertise in this way will allow these systems to be easily and quickly deployed. They will be invaluable to the armed forces. This development will impact commercial businesses and residential households across Europe and the wider world and will considerably reduce energy bills."
