What’s more, it can provide 100% of its storage capacity for at least 10 years — and that’s

by EKD. The unit should have a life span of up to 48 years, double the typical mark.

The company promotes it as a long-term, durable solution that will hold much of its capacity even in those later years, all

that it’s weatherproof and fireproof, as well.

The latter detail is, in part, thanks to the lithium-iron phosphate — or LFP — battery cells. It’s a form of battery chemistry being developed by other companies, including Volvo parent Geely. LFPs have been heralded by

and others as a cheaper, safer alternative to lithium-ion power packs, which are the dominant battery type on the market.

Importantly, Ampere can also

“For the energy

Battery storage at home is a powerful way to help maximize solar panel use, providing perks for homeowners in more ways than one. The systems save households around $700, on average, according to a government study. That calculation even factors out the cost of the setups.

of an example setup sums up the potential well. It shows rooftop solar panels collecting sun energy, which can be stored in the Ampere battery.

Solar energy can power the home — also providing ********* protection — and even charge an EV. The image indicates the option of using grid energy when it’s available at a low cost, as well. The process is aided by advanced software, all according to the company.

Systems like Ampere can help to prevent the creation of heat-trapping air pollution —
