Why
store energy?
Simply put, energy storage allows electricity to be conserved for later, when and where it is needed most. This increases efficiency and capacity for the electric grid, which further positively impacts the environment by helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Why is
energy storage so important?
It should be noted that energy storage maintains the balance between supply and demand and prevents challenges such as power grid failures, among others .
Main types of energy storage:
All of these technologies have one thing in common that allows us to take full advantage of them is the appropriate software that manages and controls the process of charging and discharging energy.
01
Electrochemical
In the case of electrochemical storage, batteries convert chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa, with outputs ranging from a few watts to hundreds of kilowatts depending on your needs.

Electrochemical - LiFePO4 storages
MUST energy storages are electrochemical systems, specifically lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries characterized by high energy density, low self-discharge rate and long life. They are highly compatible with solar charging, making them an ideal choice for off-grid or emergency power systems.

What are the main differences between lithium-iron-phosphate batteries (LiFePO4), and lit-ion battery?
- The main differences in favor of LiFePO4 batteries include longer life (they last up to 5 times longer), as well as safety
- Lithium-ion batteries can overheat and even catch fire, while LiFePO4 batteries do not.
- Stable electrode materials in LiFePO4 batteries increase their safety profile, minimizing this risk.
