Leeds-based solar energy firm to partner with top chinese battery supplier

Lily Cao, key account manager of Pylontech said: “We are very happy to collaborate with Xerogrid. We’re honoured to contribute to a sustainable future by providing reliable battery storage solutions.”

Xerogrid now plans to use Pylontech’s technology to offer a cost-saving alternative to high electricity costs or connections, with the aim of saving energy-intensive businesses costs from grid-based electricity bills.

The partnership between Xerogrid and Pylontech was supported by energy management and industrial IoT company, Hark. The firms recently collaborated to use Hark’s cloud-based platform with Pylontech’s batteries.

The technology allows Xerogrid to provide a solution for business owners and energy managers to store and control commercial-scale electricity, while also providing full monitoring and control of the systems.

Commenting on the partnership, Ian Emberton, founder and managing director of Xerogrid said: “We’re so excited to be working with one of the fastest-growing global companies in the sector. The team at Hark have created incredible technology which allows us to monitor and control the whole site's electricity systems remotely, including solar and wind back generators with the Powercube.

“With the UK's electricity grid situation becoming more complex with expensive connections and complex restrictions, we needed a vendor agnostic UK-specific solution and Hark has delivered just that.”
