Heila Technologies is deploying a new solar and storage platform in Shreveport, Louisiana. SimpliPhi Power, an American manufacturer of lithium-ion energy storage systems, has teamed up with Heila Technologies to deploy the intelligent energy storage + solar systems. Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) is also supporting the project.
CleanSpark, based in San Diego, is a microgrid manager, using intelligent analytics for design and decision making, along with advanced controls for 24/7 operations. The company began testing its solution on a local residential system that was located just far enough off the grid that the utility would have made interconnection a very expensive option.
It’s been three years since CleanTechnica first sat down with Simpliphi Power CEO Catherine Von Burg at the company’s headquarters in Ojai, California. After much progress and a close encounter with destruction, we recently got an update on what the energy storage solution provider has been working on over the last year, as well as Von Burg’s plans for 2018.
The Tesla Semi Truck announcement represents a head-on challenge to the way people move goods around the country, but Tesla is not the first to move into plug-in trucks — far from it. I recently had the opportunity to talk with Tesla cofounder Ian Wright, who has since moved on to start his own company Wrightspeed, which has been helping shipping companies slash their heavy-duty truck emissions for years with its hybrid powertrains. [Note: We also had a Cleantech Talks interview with Ian Wright in 2015 that’s worth a listen.]
We recently had the opportunity to speak with Craig Wooster, Project Manager & General Contractor at the Stone Edge Farm (SEF) Microgrid Project, about the impressive work the team is doing to take the farm off the grid with sustainable energy and storage.
It’s understandable that many visitors to Stone Edge Farm’s properties in Sonoma, California, would relish in the lush landscapes, expansive vineyards, and world-class wines produced there without even realizing that it was also one of the world-class test beds for microgrid development.

Schools in Queensland, Australia and on O’ahu in Hawaii are taking advantage of battery storage solutions to further their educational goals.
US battery maker SimpliPhi Power is making a renewed push for Australia’s booming residential and commercial battery storage market, with plans to ramp up sales of its range of modular and plug and play lithium ferro phosphate battery systems.
We have covered the impressive products of SimpliPhi Power a few times in the past, including some of the unique applications of the high-performance battery packs the company has developed for the movie industry and the military. Putting a spotlight on some of the non-traditional products on the menu may lead some to believe … [continued]
