Canadian Solar, through its subsidiaries CSI Solar and e-STORAGE, will soon launch SolBank 3.0, a 2.35-MW/5-MWh LFP energy storage system.
Housed in a 20-ft container, SolBank 3.0 features up to 45% increase in product-level capacity and up to 40% decrease in commissioning time, compared to its previous generation, which was released just one year ago.
SolBank 3.0 is equipped with a pack and electrical redundancy protection system, smart abnormal performance detection, multi-level fire alarm and suppression protection. The optimized thermal management system reduces auxiliary power consumption by up to 30% compared to the previous generation. SolBank 3.0’s flexible and modular design is compatible with different power conversion systems (PCS).
“SolBank 3.0 sets a new standard in energy storage solutions and provides enhanced operational efficiency and reliability,” said Colin Parkin, President of e-STORAGE. “SolBank 3.0 features exceptional new elements like higher energy density cells and advanced safety design. In addition, our e-STORAGE team also provides value-added services, such as system capacity maintenance and augmentations, operation and maintenance, and plant optimization. I am very proud of our e-STORAGE team for their continuous efforts in innovation and delivering to our customers the best-in-class energy storage solutions.”
Standard-size containerized energy storage systems are an emerging trend, which SPW covered here.
