OUR VISION

​

As global energy demand increases, the adoption of renewable energy is of paramount importance to mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate change. Energy storage solutions will be crucial to enable a clean, sustainable future.

​

At UNIGRID, we are dedicated to exploring new battery chemistries that are low-cost, safe, long-lasting, and recyclable to meet these energy needs.

​

Our solutions are scalable designs suitable for the home, grid, or a variety of distributed energy storage applications.
