Powerblox -Swarm battery technology

The Swiss-developed Powerblox swarm battery technology was inspired by and specifically developed to address rural off-grid energy and energy storage challenges.

Benefits at a Glance

  • The PBX-200 is extensible by simply connecting two or more cubes
  • It’s easy to use – «Plug & Power»
  • No engineering needed and maintenance free
  • A gateway enables fast and reliable real time data
  • The PBX-200 is ready for use within minutes and supplies renewable energy
  • With a weight of 20 kg (LiFePo4 battery) it’s quite mobile

Swarm Grids: Infinite scalability

A system that grows with your needs

The modularity of the PBX-200 allows a stepwise growth of generation capacity. Similar to building blocks, new PBX-200s are simply plugged in when the demand for electricity increases, without any interruption to the power supply and within a few minutes.

Stand-alone: Power of 200 Watt

An individual PBX-200, designed for a power demand of up to 200 W, offers straightforward installation. Simply choose your installation site, set up the PBX-200, mount the solar module, lay the solar cable to the PBX-200, and connect it seamlessly to the solar socket or terminal block for immediate use.

Stacking: Power of up to 1.8 Kilowatt

For a demand larger than 200 W, PBX-200 can be stacked to increase the performance, memory, and daily energy yield of the overall system. The PBX-200 accommodates the stacking of three units, forming power towers that can be further interconnected with power walls. By linking up to three power towers, a total capacity of 3.9 kilowatts can be achieved, optimizing the system’s energy output.

Swarmgrid: Power of up to 10 Kilowatt

Multiple power towers can be further interconnected to expand the capacity to a larger scale demand, up to 10 kilowatt mini-grid, according to the need.

The Technology offers

Flexibility

With portable batteries, electricity generated from the sun, wind, or the grid is consistently and reliably available anywhere, adaptable to various applications.

Speed

Thanks to Plug and Play installation, Powerblox are ready to use without complex training, allowing for quick electrification rollout.

Serviceability

Powerblox are easy to maintain, suitable for local maintenance capabilities.

Cost-effectiveness

Scalability reduces initial investment costs

Longevity

High-quality components ensure durability (battery lifetime 8 years; electronics 15 years).

Extendibility

Batteries can be connected and stacked to meet specific energy demands, providing a scalable solution for MSEs and neighbourhoods along the nano-grid space.

Upgradability

Existing batteries can be easily replaced and integrated with new technologies.

Integration pathways

Powerblox can integrate into mini-grids and public grids, avoiding stranded assets and dead-end solutions.
