We make sure we understand the end user’s application and tailor-make the solution to match the needs of the individual vessel. Through our partnership with Hillcrest Energy Technologies, we are aiming to set a new benchmark in the energy storage sector, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future.”

“Our partnership with Ocean Batteries marks the first deployment of our ZVS inverter technology into stationary, grid-connected applications as we look to accelerate future revenues,” stated Hillcrest CEO, Don Currie. “The sheer size of the ESS market represents a phenomenal opportunity for the integration of our technology. Upon successful demonstration and integration of our ZVS inverter prototype, a commercial supply agreement with Ocean Batteries could result in attractive annual sales revenues.”
