At RE+ Hithium announced its first 5 MWh container, coming in a standard 20-foot container, ready to connect
It was the company’s first product launch outside home market
Hithium team participated at the clean energy trade show for the second time
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Stationary battery manufacturer Hithium exhibited this week at the major U.S. clean energy trade show RE+, produced by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), for the second time. With an office in Fremont, California, and a team on the ground across the Americas, Hithium aims to supply the fast-growing stationary energy storage market as it respond to public and private sector energy transition incentives on both North and South American continents.
The company’s founder and senior management also joined its American team in Las Vegas to announce a new 5 MegaWatt hours container product using the standard 20-foot container structure. It was the first time Hithium has made a major product announcement outside of its headquarters in Xiamen, China.
Achieving the 5 MWh product milestone with 46% more energy density
The more compact second generation (ESS 2.0), higher-capacity energy storage system delivers 46% higher energy density than standard systems based on 280 Ah cells. The product will come pre-installed and ready to connect, outfitted with 48 battery modules based on the manufacturer’s new 314 Ah LFP cells, each module providing 104.5 kWh capacity and designed to meet the needs of large utility scale systems. The container will also be technically compatible with most top inverter brands’ power control systems, or bidirectional inverters.
The new energy storage system also comes with Hithium’s mature multi-level, liquid-cooling technology, which keeps cell temperature variation below 3° Celsius. Intelligent thermal management enables the system to optimize battery power and reduce internal energy consumption.
Advancing production lines and capacity to meet energy transition demand
With 11 GWh of battery products already shipped since the company was founded in 2019, Hithium is expanding its production capacity to 70 GWh by the end of this year. The company has developed some of the most advanced production lines in the world, featuring a high degree of automation and intelligence based on the precise and extensive collection and evaluation of big data, in real time. This enables Hithium to guarantee product stability and consistency in multiple dimensions. The manufacturer’s expansion plans continue into the next several years, with the goal of 135 GWh production capacity by 2025.
