The new facility officially went live in early June, with the
delivery of Hithium’s 16 energy storage containers, each with a
capacity of 3.44MWh, to Solarpro. Solarpro is a leading
technological provider of solutions for the generation and storage
of energy within whole Europe.
Hithium ∞ Block 3.44MWh container
The Hithium ∞ Block 3.44MWh container is a liquid-cooled battery
storage system based on Hithium prismatic LFP BESS cells with a
280Ah capacity and a high cyclic lifetime. It is specially
optimized for use in stationary battery storage systems with high
standards of safety, reliability, and performance. The system’s low
levelized cost of storage (LCOS), combined with excellent thermal
management, improves energy throughput by ensuring optimal
operating temperature and high energy density. It also integrates
with a thermal management system, fire protection system, battery
management system (BMS), and more.
As Kelson Li, Hithium Senior Director of Sales of DACH,
Northern & Eastern Europe said: "We are honored to partner
with Solarpro. By providing comprehensive technical and after-sales
