SANTA CLARA, CA, USA, December 8, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Borqs’ Subsidiary, Holu Hou Energy, Receives Multiple Orders for its Solar Energy Storage Systems in California, the Largest USA Market
 
- Global energy storage market is projected to grow 15-fold by 2030.
 
- The 2nd Generation HoluPower-series energy storage system is the first and only system capable of economically addressing the Multi-Dwelling Unit Residential market through EnergyShare.
 
- The California market size is estimated about 30 times bigger than Hawaii.
 
Borqs Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BRQS, “Borqs”, or the “Company”), a global provider of 5G wireless, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, and innovative clean energy, today announced its subsidiary, Holu Hou Energy (HHE), has received multiple purchase orders for its HoluPower xP solar energy storage systems for installation at homeowner locations in the Greater San Diego area in California. These orders represent the first for the Company in the State.
 
Whereas in Hawaii HHE works to develop and construct Single-Family Residential projects as an “end to end” provider, the Company has targeted and will continue to the California homeowner market through already existing channel partners to sell and construct the projects. For Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) Residential properties in the State, they are apartment owners, REITs and other MDU stakeholders directly, then partner with existing licensed contractors for system construction.
 
HHE has been focused on the Hawaii market since it began commercial shipments in 2020, in order to become successfully established in the largest market in the United States based upon solar installation penetration. Now it is turning to California, the largest market in terms of size of available opportunity. HHE recently completed the testing and documentation required for the HoluPower xP to be listed as an approved product by the California Energy Commission. The Company expects to be listed by early January 2023, after which permitting and installations can commence.

A HoluPower xP system consisting of 9.6kW of AC power with 16.4kWh of energy storage
 
In Hawaii, Holu Hou Energy has quickly become a leader for solar energy storage systems in the Single-Family Residential market, and has essentially created the previously untapped Multi-Dwelling Unit (“MDU”) Residential market for renewable energy by virtue of its “EnergyShare” technology. The same leading product attributes would benefit MDU property owners and homeowners in California. The potential available MDU market in California is in the billions of dollars.
 
EnergyShare enables networked systems to share excess generation behind their respective utility meters, a game-changer for improving the project economics for the MDU market, including for low-income housing, rental property units and Home Owners Association managed condominiums and town homes. EnergyShare enables more energy to be delivered to load, and fewer batteries to be installed than the standard approach of a unit by unit installation.
 
The HoluPower xP delivers:
 
- A much safer lithium ion battery chemistry, having greater inherent resiliency against overtemperature and overcharging than some major brands that use less stable, more flammable and higher toxicity chemistries
- More system power:  9.6kW AC, enough power to enable homes to operate their appliances during an outage the same way they would if they had utility power
- Greater system modularity – each system can support four strings of PV and up to four 8.2kWh battery modules. Multiple systems can be connected together in a sharing link for even greater capacity
- Higher power for each battery module, a very important attribute for locations where battery subsidies and bonus programs exist
- Energy control through the HHE Modular Energy Control platform
- Integrated home load control so both renewable energy supply and load/usage can be scheduled or optimized real time with one another
- Standard wired internet connection, with optional WiFi or cellular communications
- Better system conversion efficiency compared to “AC Battery” systems, like those from Tesla
- Faster installation times with an almost 50% reduction in wiring terminations
- The industry’s only single-family Residential energy storage system economically viable for unlocking the Multi-Dwelling Unit Residential market
 
According to a recent research report by BloombergNEF (BNEF), the global energy storage installations are projected to reach a cumulative 411 gigawatts (or 1,194 gigawatt-hours) by the end of 2030, 15 times the 27GW/56GWh of storage that was online at the end of 2021. The anticipated accelerated growth of the US market follows the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. Besides the United States, other largest power markets in the world such as the EU, China and India have all passed legislation that incentivizes energy storage deployments.
