Stäubli Electrical Connectors, the
pioneer and global market leader in electrical connectors for
Photovoltaic solutions, and Power-Blox the award-winning Swiss start-up
enter into a strategic partnership for innovative energy storage
solutions
With over 20 years of experience in the
photovoltaic industry and more than 1 billion installed PV connector
components, Stäubli Electrical Connectors provides more than 150 GW or
50% of the worldwide PV capacity. With the new technology called "Swarm
Power", developed by the Swiss start-up company Power-Blox and its
intelligent energy cubes, an off-the-grid energy supply can be produced
without any technical know-how or configuration.
Power-Blox is the first modular solar energy system, which offers
alternating current up to the megawatt range based on swarm technology.
This revolutionary concept also allows for a completely mobile supply
and functions as a portable outlet.
"The product and solution portfolio of Power-Blox fits very well into
the strategic development of our 'alternative energies' business.
Combined with our powerful and durable connector solutions for
photovoltaic plants, these innovative systems and the swarm technology
open up totally new fields of application in the growing market of
energy storage systems", says Franco Delvecchio, CEO of Stäubli
Electrical Connectors and member of the Executive Committee of the
Stäubli Group about the cooperation.
"Swarm Power" imitates complex systems by their nature to create fully
autonomous and intelligent power grids all over the world. Anyone can
create an independent, decentralized power supply grid without
additional technical know-how. The "plug and play" solution consists of
stand-alone energy cubes with an integrated battery, which can be
expanded as desired, thus enabling a scalable power supply. Each cube
can supply electricity which is independent of the grid and is supplied
by external sources such as solar systems or wind energy. Typical
applications include the supply of mobile or temporary installations
for aid organizations, rural electrification in remote areas, military
installations or as a reserve battery for bridging in power in the
event of power outages in unstable public networks.
Alessandro Medici, co-founder of the Intersolar Award finalist and CEO
of Power-Blox, is delighted: "We are thrilled that Stäubli Electrical
Connectors, a world leader in the industry, acknowledges our
technology. Through the experience of Stäubli Electrical Connectors, as
well as through its global engineering and sales network, we gain
valuable resources for further development and market cultivation."
