After moving to Puerto Rico, the homeowners experienced firsthand the country’s expensive yet unstable electric grid. Having relied on a generator for four years, the homeowner wanted a permanent solution that reduced electricity costs and ensured the house always remained powered.

Blue Planet Energy has launched a new energy storage system, the Blue Ion HI. The stackable, maintenance-free lithium system is backed by a 15-year performance warranty to ensure reliable power delivery, day or night, on or off grid.

Honolulu-based Blue Planet Energy recently introduced a new battery storage offering, the Blue Ion HI, with an eye toward mitigating customers' space limitations.

In recent weeks, brutal winter storms knocked out nearly one-third of the electricity generating capacity in Texas. Massive blackouts left more than four million residents without power, which in turn destroyed properties and claimed the lives of dozens. As authorities begin to sift through the countless layers of this systemic failure, it becomes agonizingly clearer that not only was this tragedy avoidable but that it was enabled by numerous entities who prioritized profits over their constituents.

Tesla and LG Chem rule the market with their NMC battery products, but the LFP battery contenders believe their technology’s time has come.

The Blue Planet Energy ‘ohana is pleased to announce we recently added sustainability legend Gil Friend to our Board of Directors. For nearly 50 years, Friend has championed sustainability initiatives and for 30 years has helped some of the world’s best-known brands, from Hewlett-Packard to SunPower, focus on and deliver triple bottom line success.

After the last major hurricane struck Baja California Sur, Mexico, many residents lost power for over thirty days. To make matters worse, residents are forced to cope with regular power outages all year long due to the utility’s lack of sufficient electricity reserves coupled with rising electricity demand as a result of an increasing number of new developments.
