Off Grid the leading provider of efficient grid quality power solutions to be used by people in places where connecting to the National Grid is not possible has announced that they unveiled their most up to date version of gridtogo™ system this week.

The new system has been available to see at the Low Carbon Networks & Innovation Conference which is located in Telford. The new gridtogo™ is being described as a powerful, reliable and portable hybrid power solution to be used for construction projects, events and utilities that can work together with a generator in order to reduce running hours and reduce fuel consumption. This latest solution that has been delivered by Off Grid Energy will also be fitted with battery technology supplied by Hyperdrive Innovation.

Hyperdrive Innovation designs and builds lithium-ion battery systems that can be installed into electric cars, off highway vehicles and autonomous vehicles as well as home energy storage. The Sunderland-based developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion battery technology will help to increase the cost savings from gridtogo™ and will also help to further reduce CO2 and pollution emissions in order to improve the quality of air in towns and cities.

When the generator runs, it has been manufactured to work as efficiently as possible with the spare energy contained in the technology that has been supplied by Hyperdrive. When the battery has been charged, and the demand for power is low, the generator can turn itself off and that energy that has been stored in the battery is then used to supply the load, reducing power use. When the battery runs low or demand increases, the generator stats back up automatically.

The inclusion of the battery from Hyperdrive is seen as another major step for the company which has an increasing number of applications for their world leading technology. The modular battery system that has been supplied by the Sunderland based manufacturer.
