Brazilian telecom company, Intelbras, has just launched a cutting-edge 48 V and 100 Ah lithium battery for residential use. This marks the company’s first foray into the energy storage industry.
According to Maria Helena Garcia, the executive director of Intelbras’ energy division, “Upon observing this promising market movement, Intelbras assessed that the strategy of expanding its portfolio with lithium batteries is very important to keep the company aligned with current and future demands with regard to energy efficiency.”
The innovative solution allows for one or more batteries to be connected in parallel, with the option to link up to a total of 10 units. Depending on the specific application, these batteries can be connected to a photovoltaic inverter, UPS, or any other devices that operate at 48 V.
Intelbras claims that the storage system has a useful lifespan of over eight years and offers impressive energy density. The EBL 4800 model is priced at BRL 13,999 ($2,865).
In an exciting development earlier this year, Intelbras acquired Renovigi, Brazil’s second-largest PV system integrator and product distributor, for BRL 334 million in February.
