With the world turning to electric vehicles and other battery-powered machines, a strong supply and demand gap is expected with lithium in the coming years. A new solar generator using sodium-ion batteries might just be the solution we need.
Bluetti, a company known for its line of power stations, has unveiled what it is calling the world's first sodium-ion solar power stations. With the new-age generators, the company aims to bring a viable replacement for lithium-ion batteries in its line of solar generators that can power homes.
For those unaware, Bluetti is a Las Vegas, US-headquartered power solutions firm that is mostly known for its state-of-the-art solar generators. The company made a name through its flagship model AC200, which received crowdfunding of nearly 7 million dollars in two months in 2020. Since then, Bluetti has built a strong portfolio of generators, photovoltaic or solar panels, and other energy production and storage solutions.
