Main Questions

Problem Solution

LiFePo4 technology has an inherent problem of Thermal Runaway. This problem is what makes lithium battery flammable.

Our solution is aimed in designing a Lithium battery chemistry with zero fire risk. Lithium combined with other chemistries can provide a battery storage solution which is Fire Safe, Long performance life (cycle life) and Recyclability.
These batteries can be charged and discharged very frequently (depending on the application) thus making it a very versatile battery.

The chemistry we propose have Long Cycle Life, 25 year useful life (20000 cycles nominal)

Easy Recycling at end of life

Impact

The Lithium Chemistry we propose has

1. Least or NO fire impact

2. Long Service Life of Battery means long periods between recycling

3. Recyclability - is high and hence no land fill.

Business Model

Founded by engineers with a cumulative experience of over seventy two years; Crystal Solar Energy’s philosophy is to provide the very best in Energy Savings, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability. We adopt and deploy new technologies and processes to bring value to our customers.

Our experience
Our extensive multi facet industry experience, and strong engineering background has seen Crystal Solar Energy at the forefront of the ever-changing field of renewable energy adoption, transition and energy savings. Our team of professionals strive to bring the emerging technologies to you at all times.

Product Knowledge
Our core philosophy is to offer you the best and reliable products available in renewable energy. Our engineers and technologists understand the finer details of these products and offer you the best suited to your needs; this makes different from our peers. You can be confident that you receive the best advice, products that perform well with long warranty and peace of mind.

New Technologies
New developments take place in renewable energy at a rapid pace. Besides conventional Solar PV on roof, Light weight Solar Panels and Solar PV Car Ports is emerging as front runner to provide large scale solar PV solutions. Combined with battery storage technologies like Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) batteries provide and end to end solution for customers looking for transition to renewable energy. These Battery storage solutions also allows us to introduce fast DC - DC EV charging stations minimising dependency on the grid power upgrade! Another facet we are pursuing is Thermal Energy Storage using Sand as a medium, which provides up to 100% energy offset from conventional natural gas for large scale users.
Our engineers and technologists keep up to date on product developments through partnership, training and seminars and expos. Thus, our customers are offered the best technology suited for their business, ensuring their investment brings good return on investment.

PROPOSED BUSINESS MODEL
The current technology we have has been manufactured overseas and it is a matter of enabling process to make it in Australia. This would make our solution fully Australian Made in a short period of time..
