Heiwit Exceeds 10 MWh of Renewable Energy in Less than 3 Months: An Achievement in Sustainability and Innovation

Nov 14, 2024 | Objectives

We are thrilled to announce an extraordinary achievement: in less than three months since the project was launched, Heiwit exceeded the 10 MWh of renewable energy produced, contributing significantly to a greener and more sustainable future. Thanks to the trust of our customers and supporters, we were able to achieve this goal in record time, proving that a large-scale energy transformation is possible.

This success represents much more than a corporate achievement. It means that in just a few weeks we have been able to save the environment 4,809.7 kg of CO₂., a significant amount which, when compared, is equivalent to almost 4000 km travelled by car or more than 20 adult trees planted and grown for a year. This result was only possible thanks to the passion and trust of those who believed in our project from the very beginning.

A Thank You to Our Supporters

We could never have achieved this without the support of our partners, customers and supporters who have shared our vision of a cleaner, more sustainable world. Their trust in the Heiwit project has been and will continue to be the driving force behind our work. Every single battery and photovoltaic installation realised represents not only a step towards energy autonomy, but also a direct contribution to the reduction of global CO₂ emissions.

With Heiwit, our customers not only actively participate in the transition to renewable energy, but also contribute to a more resilient and cleaner energy grid. The response we have received so far has been extraordinary, and we are incredibly grateful to all those who have chosen to join us on this journey.

The Environmental Benefits of the Heiwit Project

Our mission has been clear from the beginning: to provide state-of-the-art energy solutions that not only meet our daily energy needs, but also respect our planet. By exceeding 10 MWh of renewable energy, Heiwit has shown that it is possible to make a difference and that every small contribution can have a big impact. Reducing emissions of 4,809.7 kg of CO₂. is only the beginning; this value will grow exponentially as more customers adopt our energy storage and production solutions.

Choosing Heiwit means choosing to contribute to a future in which dependence on fossil energy sources is minimised. It also means investing in energy storage solutions that allow renewable energy to be used optimally, even when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing. Thanks to our systems and batteries, the stored energy can be used when it is needed most, reducing dependence on the grid and minimising emissions.

Heiwit's Vision and Next Goals

The success of our project encourages us to look ahead and set new ambitious goals. Our commitment does not stop at 10 MWh of energy produced: we aim to expand the project on a national and international scale, making clean energy accessible to more and more people. Heiwit will continue to invest in research and development, with the aim of continuously improving the performance of our sodium ion storage solutions, increasing capacity and further reducing environmental impact.

One of our goals for the future is to offer not only increasingly high-performance storage systems, but also to make our product globally accessible, with a widespread distribution and service network. We want to make Heiwit a benchmark not only for energy efficiency, but also for innovation and sustainability.

Technology and Innovation: The Features of Heiwit Batteries

Heiwit batteries, based on sodium ion technology, represent one of the most advanced and sustainable solutions available on the market. Here are some of the main features that make these batteries unique:

  • Advanced Security: Our batteries are designed with attention to safety during use, within the limits stated in the datasheet (discharge from −25 to +60 °C, charge from 0 to +60 °C, indoor installation). Sodium-ion technology reduces the risk of overheating and combustion, although it is not zero.
  • Long life: estimated life of over 6,500 charge and discharge cycles at 90% DoD with 70% residual capacity (NA-48V210Ah, layered-oxide cells), with low replacement and maintenance costs.
  • Deep discharge: recommended depth of discharge of 90%, to use most of the battery's capacity.
  • Abundant raw materials: the cells use sodium instead of lithium, and Heiwit batteries are designed to facilitate the recovery and recycling of materials at the end of their life.

How Heiwit Contributes to CO₂ Reduction

The reduction of 4,809.7 kg of CO₂. is only the first step of a long journey. Each new installation represents a decrease in global emissions, helping to combat climate change and promote a cleaner energy future. We are proud to say that, thanks to the trust of our customers, we are able to generate a positive impact both locally and globally.

Every battery, every photovoltaic system and every kilowatt-hour saved represents an investment in the future of our planet. Sustainability is not just a goal, but a core value for Heiwit, which guides us in every decision and every innovation.

An Appeal for the Future: Continue to Support Heiwit

This milestone is just the beginning. Our mission is to bring clean and sustainable energy to more and more people, and we are confident that, together with our customers and supporters, we can make a difference. We invite everyone who shares our vision to continue to support Heiwit as we continue to invest in innovative and sustainable technologies for the good of the planet.

Thanks again to all our supporters: your support gives us the strength and inspiration to continue innovating and looking forward to a more sustainable energy future.
