Energy storage player Humless has now entered the direct battery supply route with a 5-kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery. The Humless 5-kWh battery will be unveiled this week at the Solar, Storage, and Smart Energy Expo in San Francisco.
“We’ve worked hard to perfect this energy storage product,” said Glenn Jakins, CEO for Humless. “Our product testing has been rigorous to assure that we provide the longest life, safest, and most reliable energy for residential, emergency, or commercial use. We have minimized battery cycling and operating temperatures, while maximizing depth of discharge (DoD) and the greatest universal compatibility.”
Humless also offers its Universal Energy Management (UEM) system, a brand-agnostic storage system that can match any inverter with any 48-V battery.
The new Humless LFP battery for the residential market is stackable up to 14 units to 70 kWh.
“Two million California power customers were affected in 2019 by PG&E cutting electricity supply during high wind blackout periods,” Jakins said. “Electrical utilities in other states are following suit, negatively affecting the U.S. power grid’s reliability record. Our energy storage empowers consumers by reducing the threat of blackouts, helping the public take charge of their relationship with the utility.”

I have a 7900 w system now from tic toc energy. Now my electric company that we are on has just sent me a bill for some special meter that they have put on my poll. Have u got a system that will run an all electric home that we can offord to get away from the electric company.

It does much more than empower consumers, it allows a margin of protection from the utility’s ‘next’ power program, or rate ‘scaling’ or just something stupid like buying into a majority of solar PV and wind generation to find out, they have to operate the system by “curtailing” solar PV and or wind generation when overgeneration occurs on the grid and fill the “curtailment” with spot market priced fueled generation resources to ramp around grid demands. You own assets that are non-fueled, but can often over generate power, to keep the grid “regulated”, curtailing non-fueled resources while contracting for fueled power at premium prices seems it has reached a point of criminal intent, all of which the ratepayers get to pay for. Distributed battery storage is not coming online as fast as it is needed. Long term energy storage should be rolled out regionally for days or weeks of available energy, no more curtailments.
