Strategic Accounts Manager
San Francisco, CA, United States
Energy storage is the most exciting area in energy today. Massive amounts of energy storage are required if renewable energy is to take its rightful place on the electric grid. Invinity provides an alternative to the most common type of battery, lithium-ion, because the battery technology that works so well in our pockets doesn’t work as well at grid scale; it wears out, limits use, and even catches fire.
Invinity’s batteries are the size of shipping containers. They’re big, heavy and cost a bit more, but they don’t wear out, they can’t catch fire, and they can be operated continuously from full charge to full discharge for 25 years. Built as a standardized product in a factory, our proven vanadium flow batteries are emerging as a vital part of the energy transition.
Invinity has 75,000 kilowatt-hours of its modular battery systems in 82 projects across 15 countries—more than any other company in the space. We’ve deployed the largest flow battery systems in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the UK and are supported by the UK Infrastructure Bank, the U.S. Department of Energy, and some of the world’s leading institutional investors.
Invinity is a global business with operations in the UK, Canada, the U.S., Australia and China. The Company is listed in the UK on AIM and AQSE and trades in the U.S. on OTCQX. For more information about us, visit https://invinity.com/
