Chakratec, established in 2013, brings to the energy market patented kinetic battery energy storage solution based on an innovative flywheel concept.
While being comparable in price to alternative solutions such as Li-Ion batteries, Chakratec's solution enables energy storage for hours as needed with renewable energy generation.
Unlike chemical batteries which have a limited number of charging cycles during their life time, Chakratec's kinetic battery, provides virtually limitless number of deep charge and discharge cycles over the full life time of 20 years.
Unlike chemical batteries which have a limited number of charging cycles during their life time, Chakratec's kinetic battery, provides virtually limitless number of deep charge and discharge cycles over the full life time of 20 years.
These unique attributes make the price per charge/discharge cycle disruptively low, making it the optimal solution for solar fields, wind farms and other application which require energy storage.
The kinetic battery is also the only truly green solution with none of the hazardous safety and disposal issues associated with chemical battery solutions, therefore it enables a fully green energy ecosystem of solar, wind and storage.
The Cleantech Open competition is one of the most prestigious international competition in Green technology, and it offers an excellent platform for meeting entrepreneurs, advisors and investors from all over the world.
