When “sodium” is not enough: chemistry makes all the differenceTwo storage systems can claim “sodium-ion battery” and yet behave in opposite ways in the home: one holds up well during heat pump peaks, the other collapses in power in the evenings...

Why does the percentage of charge (SoC) sometimes “jump”? (It also happens to lithium, especially LFP) If you have a domestic battery connected to photovoltaics, you may see behaviour that is surprising: the percentage of charge (SoC, State of Charge) does not go up or...

The choice you make in the cellar: it's not just a batteryWhen you install a photovoltaic storage system, the object that ends up in your garage or utility room looks like “just” a component of the system. In reality it is a decision that touches raw materials, chains of...
