The 2MWh energy storage system is an integrated part of a larger multi-megawatt solar installation that will be installed by Easypower in early 2014, the company said.

The system is expected to provide load shifting, firming and power factor correction capabilities.

Commenting on the partnership, Easypower vice president Nikos Savouris said that Spider9’s OSE provides not only increased efficiency and lower operating costs, but also a platform that can adapt to new technology.

Spider9 president and chief executive officer Glynne Townsend said, "Spider9 welcomed the extensive research and careful deliberation that went into Easypower’s process of choosing a partner.

"We look forward to a long and lasting relationship with one of Europe’s leading solar and storage pioneers and to the opportunity to make renewable energy cost-effective and reliable."

The alliance is expected to provide grid-tied, off-grid, and microgrid systems for residential, commercial and grid scale applications that include both traditional solar and wind-based renewable energy generation.
