Vikram Solar said that it is planning to open a 1 GWH fully integrated fixed states cell and battery production facility with proprietary battery management system (BMS) technology. It said that the facility will initially be designed to scale up to 5 GWh to meet the growing global energy demand.
“Our Solid-State batteries, developed and manufactured with majority components made by India, support ‘Atmanirberbharta’ [self-reliance] And correspond to the renewable energy and climate goals of India, “said Gyanesh Chaudary, chairman and director of Vikram Solar. “Using the technology of our partners, Entity2 Energy Storage, which contains various patents for Non-Lithium Solid-State battery technologies, we are committed to producing batteries that can be scaled up to meet the growing energy needs.”
Solid-State batteries offer benefits such as higher power storage due to minimal loss of electroactive metal and less risk of fire and overheating. They work in a wide range of temperatures and conditions without dendrite formation and offer stable performance for a maximum of 10,000 cycles. These batteries are stable with cargo percentages up to 5 ° C, which improves efficiency and performance. The majority of raw materials is produced in their own country, so that the resilience of the Supply Chain and supports the local industries.
The company has claimed that the entire product is recyclable, environmentally friendly and manufactured from non-hazardous components, so that the impact of the environment is minimized.
Chaudhary called the Crisil research agency, because India currently meets only 15% to 20% of its power needs on renewable energy, with a revised target of 50% by 2030. He said that achieving this goal requires significant investments in battery storage to submit a higher part of the variable generation in the energy mix. He claimed that the PowerHive battery storage system of Vikram Solar meets this need, with projections with a 23 GW to 24 GW capacity extensions in battery energy storage systems (BESS) from 2025 to 2030.
