Technical FAQs 4

Is sodium-ion battery suitable for solar energy storage?

The sodium-ion battery developed in this work is suitable for solar energy storage because it has advantages of long cycle life, low cost, and materials abundance over lithium-ion batteries. It also has the feasibility for large-scale production using the existing infrastructure of lithium-ion batteries.

What is the first large-scale sodium-ion battery energy storage station in China?

In May 2024, Southern Grid commissioned a 10 MWh sodium-ion battery energy storage station in Nanning, Guangxi province, the first large-scale sodium-ion battery energy storage station in China. The energy storage station can store 100,000 kWh of electricity on a single charge, which can meet the needs of around 12,000 households for a day.

Are sodium ion batteries the future of energy storage?

Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as one of the most promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to the abundance of sodium.

How many kWh can a solar energy storage station store?

The energy storage station uses the latest high-capacity sodium-ion batteries with a top response speed six times faster than other existing sodium-ion batteries. It can store 800,000 kWh of electricity per day, which can be used by 270,000 households.
