Ola Electric has forayed into the country’s Rs 1-lakh crore battery energy storage systems (BESS) market, projected to grow to over Rs 3 lakh crore by 2030.
The company has launched Ola Shakti, its first residential BESS solution.
“India doesn’t face an energy shortage; it faces an energy storage opportunity. With Ola Shakti, we are turning that opportunity into energy independence,” Ola Electric Chairman and Managing Director Bhavish Aggarwal has said.
The company has built world-class battery and cell technology for electric mobility, and Ola Shakti extends that innovation to homes, helping them store and use clean energy intelligently, he has added.
Ola Shakti is the first residential BESS in India, which is fully designed, engineered and manufactured indigenously using the advanced 4680 Bharat Cell, using the highly-durable, efficient and tested automotive battery packs, he has added.
The modular design of Ola Shakti enables multi-directional stacking and easy scalability, while its compact form factor ensures simple home installation and easy servicing, with accessible air filters.
It delivers automotive-grade safety, industry-leading efficiency of up to 98 per cent and zero running and maintenance costs.
Unlike conventional lead-acid inverters or diesel generators, Ola Shakti features instant changeover time, operates across a wide input voltage range of 120 v-290 v, protecting appliances from voltage fluctuations and is fully weather-proof with IP67-rated batteries tested for dust, water and monsoon conditions, the company has added.
